Exercising Information, Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights

Please submit a verifiable consumer request to exercise the rights described herein. You should describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it. Only you, or someone authorized to act as your agent, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal data, including to opt out of the processing of a consumer’s data under sections 541.051(b)(5)(A) and (B) of the Texas Privacy Act. A consumer may designate an authorized agent using technology, including a link to internet website, an Internet browser setting or extension, or a global setting on an electronic device, that allows the consumer to indicate the consumer’s intent to opt out of the processing.

The controller shall comply with an opt-out request received from an authorized agent, as described in applicable subsection 541.055 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code, if it is able to verify, with commercially reasonable effort, the identity of the consumer and the authorized agent’s authority to act on the consumer’s behalf. The controller is not required to comply with an opt-out request received from an authorized agent under the applicable subsection if:

  • The authorized agent does not communicate the request to the controller in a clear and unambiguous manner;
  • The controller is not able to verify, with commercially reasonable effort, that the consumer is resident of Texas;
  • The controller does not possess the ability to process the request; or
  • The controller does not process similar or identical requests it receives from consumers for the purpose of complying with similar or identical laws or regulations of another state.


Response Timing and Format

The controller endeavors to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five days after its receipt. If the controller requires more time, it may extend the response period once by an additional forty-five days when reasonably necessary, taking into account the complexity and number of the consumer’s requests. The controller will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing before the expiration of the initial forty-five days.

If the controller declines to take action regarding a consumer request, it shall inform you without undue delay, which may not be later than the forty-fifth day after the receipt of the consumer request. The response will include the justification for declining to take action and will provide instructions on how to appeal the decision in accordance with the Texas Privacy Act. The appeal process is also noted below.

If the controller is unable to authenticate the request using commercially reasonable efforts, the controller is not required to comply with a consumer request submitted under section 541.051 of the Business and Commerce Code. The controller may request the consumer provide additional information reasonably necessary to authenticate the consumer and the consumer’s request.

If the controller has obtained personal data about a consumer form a source other than the consumer and the consumer requests the controller delete that personal data pursuant to section 541.051(b)(3) of the Texas Privacy Act, the controller will be in compliance with the request by:

  • Retaining a record of the deletion request and the minimum data necessary for the purpose of ensuring the consumer’s personal data remains deleted from its records and not using the retained data for any other purpose under Chapter 541 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code; or
  • Opting the consumer out of the processing of the personal data for any purpose other than a purpose that is exempt under the provisions of Chapter 541 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code.

The controller will not require you to create a new account with it to exercise your rights under Subchapter D of Chapter 541 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code. If you have an account with the controller, the controller will deliver its written response to that account. [JG6] If the consumer does not have an account with the controller, it will deliver the written response by mail or electronically, at your option.[JG7]

The controller does not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request at least twice annually per consumer. If a consumer request is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded, the controller may charge a reasonable fee to cover the administrative costs of complying with the request or the controller may decline to act on the request.


Non-Discrimination

A controller will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your Texas Privacy Act rights, including by:

  • Denying you goods or services;
  • Charging you different prices or rates for goods or services; or
  • Providing a different level of quality of goods or services to the consumer.


Appeal Process

If a consumer submits a request, as described in the Texas Privacy Act, and a controller refuses to take action on a request, a consumer may appeal within a reasonable period of time after the consumer’s receipt of the decision under Section 541.052 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code.

The consumer may submit their appeal by contacting the controller by the same manner they submitted the original request related to the Texas Privacy Act by:

  • Calling us at 206.693.6503
  • Mailing us at Avenue5, Attention: Data Privacy Department, 901 5th Avenue, Suite 3000, Seattle, Washington, 98164

The controller shall inform the consumer in writing of any action taken in response to the appeal under Section 541.052 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code not later than the sixtieth day after the date of receipt of the appeal by the controller. This response will include a written explanation of the reason or reasons for the controller’s decision.

If the controller denies an appeal, the controller shall provide the consumer with the online mechanism described in Section 541.152 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code, through which the consumer may contact the attorney general and submit a complaint.
