You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

The verifiable consumer request must:

• Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

• Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 seq.).

• Comply with a legal obligation.
• Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded.

• Charging you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
