Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights

To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:

• Calling us at 855-550-0007.
• Emailing us at privacy@installed.net.

We will only respond to verifiable requests related to your personal information coming from you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf. You may also make a verifiable request on behalf of your minor child.

Such request must:

• Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative of that person.
• Communicate your request with sufficient detail to allow us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm that the relevant personal information relates to you.

Making such a verifiable request does not require you to create an account with us. However, we do consider requests made through your password protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to personal information associated with that specific account.

We will only use personal information provided in such a verifiable request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

For instructions on exercising sales opt-out rights, see Personal Information Sales Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights.

Response Timing and Formats

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

If you have an account with us, we may deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.

Any disclosures we provide may only cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of the verifiable request. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is commonly used and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without undue hindrance.

Personal Information Sales Opt-Out Rights

If you are 16 years of age or older, you have the right to direct us to not sell your personal information at any time (the “right to opt-out”).

To exercise the right to opt-out, you (or your authorized representative) may submit a request to us at:
