This information must be disclosed to you free of charge, by mail or electronically. Information disclosed electronically must be in a portable format, and to the extent technically feasible, in a readily useable format that allows you to transmit the information without hindrance to another entity. “Personal information” is defined in CCP § 1798.140 to include information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or device.

 

CCP § 1798.105. As a consumer, you have the right to request that we delete the personal information collected from you. We are required to inform you of this right.
