Request to Exercise Your Rights
You may submit a written request concerning the processing of your personal data to legal-terms@category.xyz. Please note that, prior to any response to such a request, we will require you to verify your identity. In addition, we may have valid legal reasons to refuse your request and will inform you if that is the case.
You may exercise the rights herein yourself or you may designate an authorized agent to make these requests on your behalf. To protect your information, we may need to verify your identity before processing your request, including by collecting additional information to verify your identity, such as government issued identification documents. We will not fulfill your request unless you have provided sufficient information for us to reasonably verify you are the individual about whom we collected personal information. We will only use the personal information provided in the verification process to verify your identity or authority to make a request and to track and document request responses, unless you initially provided the information for another purpose. Depending on the evidence provided and your state of residency, we may still need to separately reach out to you to confirm the authorized agent has permission to act on your behalf and to verify your identity in connection with the request.
Note that these rights apply only in certain circumstances and all of these rights may be limited by law. Such limitations may apply, for example, where fulfilling your request would adversely affect other individuals or our trade secrets or intellectual property, where there are overriding public interests, or where we are required by law to retain your personal data.
To the extent required under applicable data protection laws, we will be responsive to your request without undue delay and where required under applicable data protection laws, at least within one month (though this may be extended by a further two months in certain circumstances).
