Information Subject Requests

You may submit a request to delete, correct, and/or to know by contacting us at 800.832.7368, or by emailing us at ca-data-request@morleynet.com, subject “California Data Subject Request.” Once we receive your request, we will follow up in no later than 10 days, confirm receipt of your request, and request information about you that we have collected, as set forth above, to allow us to verify your identity to ensure that you are submitting a request on behalf of who you say you are. You can also have an authorized representative submit a request on your behalf, but we must have proof that the person is indeed your authorized representative by seeing an authorization document that you have signed. This can include a Power of Attorney or other similar authorizing document.

For purposes of requests to delete, correct, and to know, we will verify your identity based on information we have collected about you, including your name, address, and phone number, but will not fulfill your request unless you have provided sufficient information that enables us to reasonably verify that you are the consumer about whom we collected the personally identifying information on. If we are unable to verify your identity, we may deny your request.

We will respond to your request within 45 days after receipt of your request for a period covering 12 months and for no more than twice in a 12-month period. We reserve the right to extend the response time by an additional 45 days when reasonably necessary, provided that consumer notification of the extension is made within the first 45 days. We will give you notice of the reason for this additional time needed to process our request.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request, unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

These rights are also subject to various exclusions and exceptions under applicable laws.

We may also have to delay complying with a request to delete with respect to data stored on an archived or backup system, until such time as that system is restored to an active system, or is next accessed or used for sale, disclosure, or commercial purpose.

Security

Morley uses commercially reasonable security measures to prevent Personal Information from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorized way. We limit access to your Personal Information to those who have a genuine business need to know it.

We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so.

Changes to the Privacy Notice

We have the right to unilaterally modify the Notice if this should become necessary due to changes in corporate practices regarding information processing, or changes in relevant laws and regulations, or changes in guidance and best practice documents issued by relevant authorities.
