Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your Personal Information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.
 
You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer 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.
  • Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
We will take steps to verify your consumer request, including that you are the person making the request, or you have authority to make the request on behalf of the individual the request relates to. 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 the Personal Information relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.
 
Response Timing and Format: We endeavor to respond to verifiable consumer requests within 45 days of receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. 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 readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.
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.
 
Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any rights you have under applicable law. Unless permitted by applicable law, we will not:
  • Deny you goods or services.
  • Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
  • Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.

However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by state law that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your Personal Information’s value and contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt in consent, which you may revoke at any time.

Request to Delete Your Personal Information
You have the right to request that we delete Personal Information we have collected about you, subject to certain exceptions. For example, we may deny your request if your Personal Information is required to provide you with a product, comply with state or federal laws or regulations, detect security incidents, for fraud prevention, or for certain other internal uses allowed by the CCPA.

Request that We Correct Inaccurate Personal Information
You have the right to request that we correct inaccurate Personal Information that we maintain about you. We may require you to submit documentation to substantiate your request if we believe our records are accurate and you did not produce documentation with your request. We will accept, review, and consider any documentation you provide in connection with your request to correct, and we will only use and maintain your documentation for the purpose of processing and responding to your request and complying with CCPA recordkeeping requirements. We may deny your request if we determine that the contested Personal Information is more likely than not accurate based on all of the information available to us.
 
HOW TO MAKE CCPA REQUESTS
You may make a Request to Know, Correct, or Delete by submitting the request to SoilBiotics, 2902 IL-17, Kankakee, IL 60901 or by calling 1-815-929-1752. Our phone line is available Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Central Time.

To protect your privacy and the security of your Personal Information, we will verify your identity prior to completing your request. We do this by matching information you provide to information we have on file. We may ask you to provide a valid government-issued photo identification, such as a driver’s license, as part of the verification process. We may deny your request if we are unable to verify your identity.

Requests Submitted by Authorized Agents
You may authorize an individual or business to submit a Request to Know, Correct, or Delete on your behalf. For us to process the request, we must have a written document, signed by you, giving your authorized agent permission to make the request on your behalf. To protect your Personal Information, we may also verify your identity or confirm that you gave the authorized agent permission to submit the request(s). Your authorized agent may make a request by following the instructions in the “How to Make CCPA Requests” paragraph, above.
 
OUR RESPONSE TO YOUR REQUESTS
We will provide you with confirmation of your request within ten (10) business days of the date the request is received. We will generally respond to your request within forty-five (45) calendar days of the date we received the request. In some cases, we may take up to another forty-five (45) calendar days to respond when reasonably necessary. If this occurs, we will notify you before the end of the first forty-five (45) day period and provide you with the reason(s) why we need additional time to complete your request.

If you submit a Request to Delete or Request to Correct, we will tell you when we respond whether or not we were able to complete your request, and if not, the reason. If we delete or correct your Personal Information, we will also instruct any service providers that maintain the information to delete or correct the information, as applicable. 

Please note that the CCPA prohibits us from disclosing certain Personal Information, such as Social Security or driver’s license numbers, account numbers, health or medical identification numbers, or confidential account information, such as a password or security questions and answers. When we respond to a Request to Know pertaining to such information, we will provide you with a description of the Personal Information we collected.   

Your Personal Information may be subject to data privacy laws other than the CCPA. If we receive a Request to Know, Correct, or Delete that involves Personal Information that is subject to another privacy law, we may deny part or all of your request relating to that information because it is exempt from the CCPA. We will inform you of this in our response to your request.
