2. The right of Californians to know whether their personal information is sold or disclosed and to whom.

You have the following rights under the CCPA by submitting a verifiable consumer request:

• The right to request that we disclose certain information to you about OFC’s collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months;
• The right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we have collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Under the CCPA, we are not required to comply with your request to delete your personal information if retaining your personal information is necessary to: (i) complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you; (ii) detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities; (iii) debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality; (iv) exercise free speech or another right provided for by law; (v) comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act; (vi) enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us; (vii) comply with a legal obligation; and (viii) make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

A verifiable consumer request requires the following: (a) sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative; and (b) description of your request with sufficient detail to allow OFC to properly understand, evaluate and respond to the request. Should your verifiable consumer request require more information, we will contact you to request such information.

Only you or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

You are allowed to make a verifiable consumer request twice within a 12-month period. Under the CCPA, we cannot respond to your request or provide you with the requested information if we are unable to verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.

OFC will provide you with the requested information once we receive a verifiable consumer request from you. We may, at our sole discretion, provide the requested information to you via mail or electronically. If we elect to send the requested information to you electronically, we will provide the information in a portable, and to the extent technically feasible, in a readily useable format that allows you to transmit the information to another party without hindrance. OFC will attempt to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days) we will inform you in writing of the reason for requiring more time and the additional time required to respond. We do not charge for this service.

You may exercise your right to access or delete the personal information we have of you by making a verifiable consumer request, during business hours, at (800) 429-5000. You may also write to us:
