You can make a request to know up to twice a year, free of charge.

How Long Do We Keep Data

We maintain record retention schedules to ensure that personal information is retained only as long as reasonably necessary for the fulfillment of the purposes for which such data was collected or otherwise meet valid legal or business requirements.

Policy Changes

CSI may periodically update or amend this CCPA Policy, whether due to changes in the law or changes in procedure.  CSI reserves the right to make such updates or amendments as it deems appropriate or necessary.  If the policy is updated or amended, current employees and contractors can request a copy of the most current version.

Verifying Requests

To help protect your privacy and maintain security, we will take steps to verify your identity and proof of California residency before granting you access to your personal information or complying with your request.  We require that you provide verifiable information by providing a government issued ID and/or utility bill: full name, street address, city/state and zip/postal code.  In addition, if you do not wish to share your personal information through means of government issued identification and you ask us to provide you with specific pieces of personal information, we will require you to sign a notarized declaration under penalty of perjury, that you are the consumer whose personal information is the subject of the request. If you designate an authorized agent to make an access or deletion request on your behalf (a) we may require you to provide the authorized agent notarized written permission to do so, and (b) for deletion requests, we may require you to verify your own identity directly with us (as described above).
