To the extent possible, the information will be provided in a portable and commonly used format so that it can be transferred to another entity.
  • Right to Request Deletion. In certain circumstances, you have the right to request the erasure of your Personal Information. Upon verifying the validity of your deletion request, we will delete your Personal Information from our records, and direct any service providers to delete your information, as required by the CCPA.

Exercising Your Rights under the CCPA

You can exercise any of your rights as described in this Privacy Policy and under applicable data protection laws by contacting Prestige as provided in the Contact Details section above. Prestige will not discriminate against you for exercising such rights.

Except as provided under the CCPA, there is no charge for the exercise of your legal rights.

Verifying Consumer Requests

Prestige verifies each data subject access request individually and confirms that the request is made by the individual owner of the email address used for or provided in connection with such request. If Prestige is not reasonably able to confirm the identity of the person making the request, we may require additional information in order to confirm such identity. Where Prestige has reasonable doubts concerning the identity of the person making the request, we may deny and closeout such request.
