  4. You have the right to request that Bulletproof Automotive delete personal information it has collected about you.  We have disclosed this above.

To Request Bulletproof Automotive disclose to you the information in categories a through c (a “Request to Know”) or to request Bulletproof Automotive delete the personal information it has collected about you, either email us at legal@bulletproofautomotive.com or write to us at Bulletproof Automotive 3523 Jack Northrop Ave, Hawthorne CA 90250.  California law requires that we verify your identity before responding to a Request to Know or a Request to Delete.  To verify your identity, we compare the information you provided on your request to the information that we have in our system.  We consider your identity to be verified if the information you provided to us matches the name we have in our system and at least two of the following pieces of information: email address, physical address, or telephone number.

 

California Consumers have the right to designate an authorized agent to make a Request to Know or a Request to Delete on their behalf.  However, the process for designating an authorized agent for these purposes and the process by which Bulletproof Automotive can verify your identity when a request is made on your behalf by a third person is still being developed by the California Attorney General at the time this Privacy Policy was last revised.  Until the California Attorney General finalizes these procedures, we will not be able to honor a Request to Know or a Request to Delete unless it is submitted directly by a consumer.  At the time the process is finalized please contact us and we will proceed in compliance with the designated process as determined by the State of California, even if that process is not detailed here in.

Further, California law prohibits Us from discriminating against any consumer who submits a Request to Know or a Request to Delete by, among other things, denying goods or services, charging different prices or rates for goods or services, providing a different level of quality of good or services, or suggesting that the consumer will receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.
