Exercising Your Rights

You can contact us to exercise your rights by emailing us at privacy@compensia.com.

We will take steps to verify your identity before processing certain requests, such as your request to know or request to delete. Where required or permitted, we will not fulfill your request unless you have provided sufficient information for us to verify you are the individual about whom we collected Personal Information. We may request additional information about you to verify your identity.

When you submit a request, do not send us, directly or indirectly, any Sensitive Personal Information (e.g., social security numbers or other national or state identifiers, health information, biometric data, financial account numbers, or payment card information). If we are unable to verify your identity, we may deny your request. 

You may use an authorized agent to submit certain requests, such as a request to know or a request to delete. When we verify your agent’s request, we may verify both your and your agent’s identity and request a signed document from you that authorizes your agent to make the request on your behalf. To protect your Personal Information, we reserve the right to deny a request from an agent that does not submit proof that they have been authorized by you to act on their behalf.

We respond to requests within the timeframes required by Relevant Laws, which may be 30-45 days or more, depending on the applicable law. If a request requires additional time to be processed, we will notify you in writing. Certain exceptions apply in the law to our requirement to fulfill requests. If your request is denied, we will provide you with the reasons for such a denial. Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to appeal our decision to deny your request.
