Submitting a Request Under the CCPA:

You may make a request to Know, Delete, or Correct by emailing contact@enterpriseconsulting.net. We ask you to provide the following information to identify yourself:

  • Name, contact information, social security or individual taxpayer identification number, date of birth, and

  • A copy of government issued photo ID. We accept your driver’s license, or State ID.

You may also authorize an agent to make a request on your behalf. A customer’s authorized agent may make a request on behalf of the customer by emailing contact@enterpriseconsulting.net and providing the information to identify the customer listed above.

When you or your agent make a request to Know, Delete, or Correct, we will attempt to verify that you or your agent is who you say you are. For example, we will attempt to match information that you provide in making your Request with other sources of similar information to reasonably verify identity.

Responding to Requests:

Privacy and data protection laws, other than the CCPA, apply to much of the  Personal Information that we collect, use, and disclose. When these other laws apply,  Personal Information may be exempt from, or outside the scope of, a request to Know, Delete, or Correct. For example, information subject to certain federal privacy laws, such as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability, is exempt from CCPA Requests. As a result, we may decline all, or part of your Request related to exempt  Personal Information. This means that we may not provide some, or all, of this Personal Information when you make a Request to Know. Also, we may not delete or correct some, or all, of this  Personal Information when you make a Request to Delete or Correct.

Further, we may not include  Personal Information when we respond to or process Requests to Know, Delete, or Correct when the CCPA recognizes another exception. For example, we will not provide the  Personal Information about another individual when doing so would adversely affect the data privacy rights of that individual. As another example, we will not delete  Personal Information when it is necessary to maintain that  Personal Information to comply with a legal obligation.

We will verify and respond to your request consistent with applicable law, taking into account the type and sensitivity of the  Personal Information subject to the request.

Security of Your Personal Information:

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Links to Other Sites:

Our website may contain links to other sites not operated by us. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any site you visit.

Changes to This Privacy Policy:

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any material changes will be communicated via our website, and the updated Privacy Policy will indicate the date of revision. Please review this policy periodically for any changes.
