Email us: privacy@BisonOffice.com
Only you, or a person that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. To authorize a representative to make or submit a verified consumer request on your behalf, you must provide them with written permission to do so. Your authorized representative must be able to verify their identity with us.
You or your authorized representative may 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. We will request at least two pieces of information that you have previously provided to us. We will verify your consumer request by comparing the information you provide to information already in our possession, and take additional steps to minimize the risk of fraud. 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 personal information relates to you.
You must describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it. We will acknowledge your request within ten (10) business days, and will respond to a verifiable consumer 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.
Any disclosures we provide will only cover the twelve (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 usable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.
We are always improving and updating our Terms of Service and Privacy Policies. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change, modify, add or remove portions of the privacy policy at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting to the website and will apply to your use of the website after the “effective date” listed above.
