HOW TO EXERCISE CCPA RIGHTS
Methods of Submission and Instructions. To submit a request to exercise your rights to know, delete or correct, please email dataprivacy@bio-rad.com, call +1 800-461-9330 (toll free), or submit a request through the Bio-Rad Integrity Helpline.
Verification. Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a request related to your personal information. You may designate an authorized agent by taking the steps outlined under “Authorized Agent” below. In your request or in response to us seeking additional information, you, or your authorized agent, must provide sufficient information to allow us to reasonably verify that you are, in fact, the person whose personal information was collected, which will depend on your prior interactions with us and the sensitivity of the personal information being requested. We may ask you for information to verify your identity and, if you do not provide enough information for us to reasonably verify your identity, we will not be able to fulfil your request. We will only use the personal information you provide to us in a request for the purposes of verifying your identity and fulfilling your request.
Authorized Agents. You can designate an authorized agent to make a request under the CCPA on your behalf if:
- The authorized agent is a natural person or a business entity and the agent provides proof that you gave the agent signed permission to submit the request; and
- You directly confirm with Company that you provided the authorized agent with permission to submit the request.
If you provide an authorized agent with the power of attorney pursuant to Probate Code sections 4121 to 4130, it may not be necessary to perform these steps and we will respond to any request from such authorized agent in accordance with the CCPA.
