Privacy Policy
Quick read. Pagos Cube LLC, herein referred as Bloque, provides programmable financial-infrastructure products to businesses operating in and connected to Latin America. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and what choices you have. Because Bloque operates regulated financial services — including card issuing, payments, accounts, and cross-border transfers — we collect and process certain sensitive personal information (including government identifiers and financial account information) where required by law and contract. Key things to know: we do not sell your personal information, we do not use it for cross-context behavioral advertising, and California, European, U.K., and Latin American residents have specific rights that we honor (Sections 20–23).

This Privacy Policy is intended to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (collectively, the “CCPA”), and the California Online Privacy Protection Act (“CalOPPA”). Your California rights are described in Section 20.
Notice to residents of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland. If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, the General Data Protection Regulation, the U.K. Data Protection Act 2018 and U.K. GDPR, and the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection, respectively, may apply. Your rights are described in Section 22.
Notice to residents of Latin America. If you reside in Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, or another Latin American jurisdiction, the local data-protection laws of your jurisdiction may apply in addition to (or in lieu of) the foregoing.

2. Key Definitions
For purposes of this Privacy Policy:
- “Personal Information” means information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular natural person or household, and includes “personal data” as defined under applicable European, U.K., and Latin American data-protection laws.
- “Sensitive Personal Information” means the subset of Personal Information identified as “sensitive” or as a “special category” of personal data under Applicable Law, including, without limitation, government-issued identifiers (such as social-security numbers, driver’s-license numbers, passport numbers, and national-identity-document numbers), financial-account information, log-in credentials, precise geolocation, biometric information used for identification, and information revealing racial or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, health, sex life, sexual orientation, or trade-union membership.
- “Process” or “Processing” means any operation or set of operations performed on Personal Information, whether or not by automated means, including, without limitation, collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation, alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination, alignment, combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.
- “Customer” means a person or entity that has entered into a Service Agreement with Pagos Cube LLC and to whom we provide one or more Services.
- “End User” means an individual end user of a Customer who interacts with the Services because the Customer has embedded or used the Services within its own product or operations (for example, a person to whom one of our Customers issues a card or for whom one of our Customers opens a sub-account).
- “Service Agreement” means a written agreement (including any data-processing addendum) between Pagos Cube LLC and a Customer that governs the provision of one or more Services. Where this Policy and a Service Agreement (including any data-processing addendum) conflict with respect to Personal Information of End Users, the Service Agreement controls.
- “Applicable Law” has the meaning given to that term in our Terms of Use.
3. Our Role: Controller or Processor
Our role with respect to Personal Information varies depending on the context in which we collect or receive it. Identifying the correct role is important because it determines which obligations we owe to you and how to exercise your rights.
- Pagos Cube as “controller” (or equivalent). We act as a controller (or its functional equivalent under Applicable Law, such as “responsable del tratamiento” in Spanish-speaking Latin American jurisdictions and “controlador” under Brazil’s LGPD) when we determine the purposes and means of Processing your Personal Information. This typically includes, without limitation, your interactions with the Site, your submission of forms on the Site, your direct relationship with us as a Customer (including the KYC/KYB and underwriting Processing necessary to onboard you), our marketing and communications activities, customer-success and support interactions, and our recruiting and hiring activities.
- Pagos Cube as “processor” or “service provider.” We act as a processor or “service provider” (or its functional equivalent under Applicable Law, such as “encargado del tratamiento” or “operador”) when we Process Personal Information of End Users on behalf of, and on the documented instructions of, a Customer that embeds or uses the Services in its own product or operations. In that role, our Processing is governed by the applicable Service Agreement and any data-processing addendum thereto. Where we act as a processor or service provider, End Users should direct privacy-related requests to the relevant Customer in the first instance; we will assist Customers in responding to such requests as required by Applicable Law and the Service Agreement.
- Independent legal obligations. Notwithstanding our role as a processor or service provider with respect to certain End-User Personal Information, we may also be subject to independent legal obligations under, for example, anti-money-laundering, counter-terrorism-financing, sanctions, tax-reporting, payment-card-industry, and consumer-protection laws. We may Process Personal Information as necessary to comply with those obligations.
4. Categories of Personal Information We Collect
We collect Personal Information from and about you in several ways, depending on how you interact with us. The categories below should be read together with Section 5 (Sources) and Section 6 (Sensitive Personal Information).
4.1 Information you provide directly
- Identifiers and contact information. First name, last name, prefix or honorific, business or trade name, postal address, e-mail address, telephone number, professional title, employer, social-media handles, country and city of residence or operation, preferred language, and any other identifiers you provide on a form, in correspondence, or through an Account profile.
- Account and authentication data. Account credentials (such as usernames and passwords), multi-factor-authentication data, application-programming-interface keys, publishable keys, secret keys, JSON Web Tokens, recovery codes, audit logs of authentication events, and similar credentials issued by us to you. We do not store cleartext passwords; passwords are stored in a salted, hashed form.
- Quotation-request data. The categories of Personal Information described in our prior, narrower Privacy Policy (first name, last name, e-mail address, telephone number, organization name, organization website URL), submitted through the quotation-request form available at https://quote.bloque.app, together with information regarding the products you are interested in, your estimated transaction volume, your intended audience, the identity of your assigned advisor, and the e-mail addresses of any developers or billing/champion contacts that you provide.
- Know-Your-Customer (KYC) and Know-Your-Business (KYB) data. In order to make certain Services available, Applicable Law and our contractual arrangements with banking and card-network partners require us to verify the identity of individuals and the lawful organization of business entities. For individual Customers, beneficial owners, controllers, and authorized signatories, we collect, depending on jurisdiction: full legal name, date of birth, place of birth, residential address, nationality, government-issued identifier (such as social-security number, individual taxpayer identification number, passport number, national-identity-document number (e.g., cédula de ciudadanía, RFC, CPF, CUIT/CUIL, RUT), or driver’s-license number), image of government-issued identification, biometric data (such as a selfie used for liveness and matching, where supported by Applicable Law), and source-of-funds information. For business Customers, we collect: legal name, trade name, jurisdiction and date of formation, registered and operating addresses, business registration or tax-identification numbers, ownership and control structure (including the identification of beneficial owners and controlling persons), governing documents, financial information, regulatory licenses, and information regarding the nature and expected volume of business.
- Financial and transactional data. Bank account numbers and routing information, card numbers (handled in accordance with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (“PCI-DSS”) requirements through compliant providers), digital-asset wallet addresses, transaction amounts and currencies, counterparty information, payment-rail metadata, merchant-category codes, dates and times of transactions, and similar information relating to payments, transfers, deposits, withdrawals, card authorizations, settlements, refunds, chargebacks, and disputes.
- Developer-integration data. Webhook endpoints, IP allow-list entries, environment metadata (e.g., sandbox vs. production), application programming interface logs and error traces submitted to us, code samples and configuration files submitted to us for support purposes, and other technical metadata regarding your integration with the Services.
- Communications data. The contents of, and metadata associated with, your communications with us, including e-mail messages, chat messages, support tickets, video- and audio-call recordings (where lawfully recorded, with notice and any required consents), call transcripts, meeting notes, and your responses to surveys and feedback requests.
- Marketing and testimonial data. Photographs, videos, audio recordings, written testimonials, quotations, biographical information, and other materials that you submit for, or authorize us to use in, our marketing and communications activities, in each case subject to Section 17 of this Policy and Section 10 of our Terms of Use.
- Event and program participation data. Information you provide in connection with events, webinars, conferences, meet-ups, hackathons, beta programs, design-partner programs, customer-advisory boards, and similar programs, including registration information, dietary or accessibility preferences (which may constitute Sensitive Personal Information and which we will use only for the stated purpose).
- Recruiting data. Information you submit in connection with an application for employment or contractor engagement with us, including résumé/CV contents, cover letters, work history, education, references, work-authorization information, demographic information (where voluntarily provided in jurisdictions where such information may lawfully be collected), and the results of any background checks conducted with your consent through authorized providers.
4.2 Information collected automatically
- Device, browser, and log data. When you visit the Site or use the Services, our servers and those of our service providers automatically collect technical information about your device, browser, and connection, including Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, IP geolocation derived from your IP address (approximate, city- or country-level — not precise), browser type and version, operating system and version, language preference, device identifiers, referring and exit URLs, pages and resources requested, search terms, click data, timestamps, time zone, screen resolution, and crash, performance, and error logs.
- Cookies and similar technologies. We and our service providers use cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, software development kits, local storage, session storage, and similar technologies to operate the Site and Services, remember your preferences, analyze usage, and improve performance, as described in Section 12 (Cookies and Tracking Technologies). We do not use cookies to engage in cross-context behavioral advertising.
- Card-network and rail-level data. When a card we have issued is used at a point of sale, our card-network partners transmit to us information about the transaction (merchant name, merchant-category code, location at the merchant-address level, amount, currency, authorization result, and related data). When you initiate or receive a transfer over a local payment rail (such as Bre-B, PSE, Nequi, PIX, SPEI, ACH, or wire) or an on-chain rail (such as Polygon), the operator of the relevant rail transmits to us information about the transaction necessary to settle it.
4.3 Information we receive from third parties
- Identity-verification and fraud-prevention providers. We rely on specialized providers to verify the identity of individuals and the lawful organization of businesses, and to detect and prevent fraud, money laundering, terrorism financing, and sanctions violations. These providers may return to us, in addition to information you provide, derived verification results, watchlist-screening results (including OFAC and other sanctions-list matches), adverse-media results, document-authentication results, biometric-match scores, and risk scores.
- Banking partners, card networks, and other financial counterparties. We receive information from banking partners that hold customer funds or that originate or receive payments, from card networks (such as Visa) and card processors, from payment-rail operators, and from other financial counterparties that we use to deliver the Services.
- Public sources and blockchain analytics. We may receive Personal Information from publicly available sources, including government databases, regulatory and law-enforcement publications, and company registers. Where the Services involve on-chain settlement (e.g., USDT or USDC on Polygon), we may use blockchain-analytics providers to evaluate the origin or destination of digital assets and the risk profile of associated wallet addresses.
- Customers (where we act as processor). Where we provide Services to a Customer and that Customer’s End Users interact with the Services, the Customer provides to us Personal Information about its End Users. In that case we Process such Personal Information on the Customer’s documented instructions, as described in Section 3(b).
- Service providers and partners. We may receive information from our service providers (such as analytics, customer-relationship-management, e-mail, support-ticketing, and infrastructure providers), from marketing and lead-generation partners, from event organizers, from referral sources, and from your colleagues who provide your contact information to us in connection with a prospective relationship.
- Recruiting sources. If you apply for a role with us, we may receive information from recruiters, employment-history verification services, background-check providers (with your consent), and references you provide.
5. Sources of Personal Information
Consistent with Section 4, the principal sources of Personal Information we Process are: (a) you, when you visit the Site, submit a form, communicate with us, register for or use the Services, or apply for a role with us; (b) our Customers, when they enable us to Process Personal Information of their End Users; (c) third-party identity-verification, fraud-prevention, and sanctions-screening providers; (d) banking and card-network partners, payment-rail operators, and other financial counterparties; (e) blockchain networks and blockchain-analytics providers; (f) publicly available sources, including government and regulatory publications and corporate registers; and (g) our service providers and marketing, recruiting, and referral partners.
6. Sensitive Personal Information
Bloque is a regulated financial-infrastructure provider. Operating accounts, issuing payment cards, and moving funds across borders necessarily requires us to Process certain Sensitive Personal Information in order to comply with anti-money-laundering, counter-terrorism-financing, sanctions, tax-reporting, payment-card-industry, and consumer-protection laws, and the contractual requirements of our banking and card-network partners.
The categories of Sensitive Personal Information we may Process include, without limitation:

- images of government-issued identification documents, together with information extracted from those documents;
- biometric data used for identity verification (such as facial-image data captured for liveness and matching), in each case only with the consents required by Applicable Law and only for the limited purpose of verifying your identity and detecting fraud;
- financial-account information, including bank-account and routing numbers, payment-card primary account numbers (handled solely through providers and processes designed to comply with PCI-DSS), and digital-asset wallet addresses;
- log-in credentials, including in combination with passwords or authentication factors enabling access to an Account;
- the contents of communications when they reveal information of a sensitive nature, to the extent volunteered by you in correspondence; and

- the performance of a contract with you, or to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract;
- your consent, which you may withdraw at any time as described in Section 16 and Sections 20–23 (provided that withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of Processing carried out prior to such withdrawal);
- our compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject, including, without limitation, anti-money-laundering, counter-terrorism-financing, sanctions, tax-reporting, and consumer-protection laws;
- the protection of the vital interests of you or another natural person, where Applicable Law so permits;
- the performance of a task carried out in the public interest, where Applicable Law so permits; and
- the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party, including, without limitation, our interest in operating, securing, and improving the Site and the Services, preventing and detecting fraud and other illegal activity, communicating about our products and offerings, and conducting our business — except where such interests are overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms.
9. How We Disclose Personal Information

- Blockchain networks and blockchain-analytics providers.

Aggregated and de-identified information. We may aggregate or de-identify Personal Information so that it can no longer reasonably be linked to you, and may use and disclose such information for any lawful business purpose, including for research, analytics, benchmarking, and the development and improvement of our products and Services. We commit to maintaining and using such information in de-identified form and to not attempting to re-identify it, except as permitted by Applicable Law for the purpose of testing whether de-identification has been effective.
10. International Data Transfers
We are headquartered in the United States and our principal hosting and data-processing infrastructure is located in the United States. The Services are designed for, and primarily delivered in, Latin America, and we rely on service providers, banking and card-network partners, and rail operators located across multiple jurisdictions. Accordingly, your Personal Information may be transferred to, stored in, and Processed in, jurisdictions other than your country of residence, including the United States, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, the European Economic Area, and other Latin American jurisdictions. Privacy laws in these jurisdictions may differ from those in your jurisdiction. By using the Services, or by providing your Personal Information to us, you understand that your Personal Information may be transferred internationally and Processed as described in this Policy.
Where we transfer Personal Information from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland to a jurisdiction that has not been determined by the relevant authority to provide an adequate level of protection, we rely on appropriate safeguards, including, without limitation, the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, the U.K. International Data Transfer Agreement or U.K. Addendum, the Swiss-approved Standard Contractual Clauses, your explicit consent, the performance of a contract with you, or another lawful transfer mechanism. Where we transfer Personal Information from Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, or Chile to a jurisdiction whose protection level is not deemed adequate under the law of the country of origin, we rely on appropriate safeguards, including binding contractual commitments, your informed consent, and, where applicable, the prior authorization of the competent data-protection authority. Copies of the safeguards we use are available on request to the contact in Section 27.
11. Data Retention
We retain Personal Information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, regulatory, tax, or reporting requirements, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements, and thereafter as permitted by Applicable Law. The criteria we use to determine retention periods include, without limitation, the nature and sensitivity of the Personal Information, the purposes for which we Process it, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the requirements of Applicable Law (including, without limitation, minimum and maximum retention periods imposed under anti-money-laundering, tax, and consumer-protection regimes), and whether the purposes can be achieved through other means.
Without limitation, our typical retention periods are as follows (each subject to extension where required by Applicable Law, legal hold, or pending regulatory inquiry):
- Quotation-related Personal Information: thirty-six (36) months from the date of submission;
- Server logs and automatically collected technical information: typically twelve (12) months;
- KYC, KYB, sanctions-screening, and other compliance records: for the duration of the relationship with the relevant Customer and at least five (5) years thereafter, or such longer period as required by Applicable Law (which may, in certain jurisdictions, exceed ten (10) years);
- Transaction records (including card-authorization, settlement, and transfer data): for the duration of the relationship with the relevant Customer and at least five (5) years thereafter, or such longer period as required by Applicable Law;
- Marketing-list data: until you opt out or otherwise withdraw your consent, and thereafter in a suppression list to enable us to honor your preferences;
- Recruiting data: for the duration of the recruitment process and for a reasonable period thereafter, as permitted by Applicable Law;
- Communications and support records: typically for the duration of the relationship plus twenty-four (24) months.
Upon expiration of the applicable retention period, we will securely delete or de-identify the relevant Personal Information.
12. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
The Site uses cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, software development kits, local storage, session storage, and similar technologies (collectively, “Cookies”) to enable the Site to function, to remember your preferences, to analyze how the Site is used, and to measure the effectiveness of our marketing. We use the following categories of Cookies:
- Strictly necessary Cookies. Required to operate the Site, to authenticate Users, to protect the Site against fraud and abuse, and to remember choices that you have made (such as language or cookie preferences). These Cookies cannot be disabled.
- Analytics Cookies. Used to understand how visitors interact with the Site, including which pages are visited and how often, in order to improve performance and user experience. We use these Cookies on an aggregated basis and configure our analytics providers to limit the Personal Information that they receive.
- Preference Cookies. Used to remember your settings and preferences so that you do not have to re-enter them on each visit.
We do not use Cookies to deliver cross-context behavioral advertising. You can manage Cookies through your browser settings; however, disabling certain Cookies may affect the functionality of the Site. Where required by Applicable Law (including the GDPR, the U.K. GDPR, the LGPD, and similar laws), we will obtain your consent through a cookie-consent banner before setting non-essential Cookies. We honor Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) signals to the extent practicable and as required by Applicable Law.
13. Data Security and Breach Notification
We implement and maintain commercially reasonable administrative, technical, organizational, and physical safeguards designed to protect Personal Information against unauthorized or unlawful access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These safeguards include, without limitation, encryption of Personal Information in transit (using Transport Layer Security) and at rest, role-based access controls, multi-factor authentication for administrative access, segregation of duties, secure software-development practices, periodic vulnerability assessments and penetration tests, security training of personnel, and incident-response procedures.
No method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach that triggers notification obligations under California Civil Code § 1798.82, the GDPR, the U.K. GDPR, the LGPD, Colombia’s Law 1581 of 2012, Mexico’s LFPDPPP, or any other Applicable Law, we will notify affected individuals and relevant authorities in accordance with such Applicable Law and within the timeframes required thereunder.
14. Automated Decision-Making and Profiling
In connection with onboarding, sanctions screening, fraud prevention, transaction monitoring, and risk management, we may use automated decision-making, including profiling, to make decisions about whether to accept or decline an applicant, to flag a transaction for review, to suspend access to the Services, or to apply other risk-mitigation measures. Where Applicable Law requires, we will provide meaningful information about the logic involved and the significance and envisaged consequences of such Processing, and you may have the right to request human review of a decision that significantly affects you. Requests for human review may be submitted using the contact details in Section 27.
15. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
We use, and may in the future use, artificial-intelligence and machine-learning technologies, including third-party large-language-model providers, to support and improve the Services. Specifically, we may use such technologies to (a) support customer-support and developer-experience workflows; (b) detect, investigate, and prevent fraud and other illegal activity; (c) classify, summarize, or extract information from documents you submit (including, where applicable, KYC/KYB documents); (d) operate the Bloque MCP Server, which enables authorized third-party agents to invoke Services on your behalf; and (e) improve the quality, security, and reliability of the Site and Services.
We do not authorize our third-party large-language-model providers to use your Personal Information to train their general-purpose models, and we have entered (or will enter) into written agreements with such providers reflecting that restriction. Where we use Personal Information to train, fine-tune, or evaluate our own models, we use, wherever feasible, aggregated or de-identified information, and we provide additional disclosures and choices to you where required by Applicable Law.
16. Marketing Communications
You may opt out of marketing communications at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions included in any marketing e-mail, by adjusting your communication preferences in any Account you may have, or by contacting us using the details in Section 27. We will continue to send you transactional, service-related, and security communications even if you opt out of marketing communications, as those communications are not promotional in nature.
17. Testimonials and Public Endorsements
If you submit a testimonial, quote, photograph, video, audio recording, or similar User Content for use in our marketing or communications, our use of such User Content is also governed by Section 10 (User Content; Testimonial, Name, Image, and Likeness License) of our Terms of Use, which you accepted by accessing the Site. Without limiting the foregoing: (a) we will use such User Content in accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising, 16 C.F.R. Part 255; (b) we will disclose material connections between us and the endorser where required; and (c) you may, at any time, request that we discontinue further use of your testimonial in new materials by contacting us as set forth in Section 27, in which case we will use commercially reasonable efforts to do so, although we do not guarantee removal of materials already distributed.
18. Recording of Communications
Some of our calls and video meetings may be recorded and transcribed for quality-assurance, training, compliance, and product-improvement purposes. Before any recording begins, we will provide notice and, where required by Applicable Law (including the law of any jurisdiction that requires the consent of all parties to a recording), we will obtain your consent. You may decline to be recorded; in that case we will conduct the call without recording.
19. Job Applicants
If you apply for a role with us, we will Process the Personal Information you submit in connection with your application (including résumé contents, work history, education, references, and assessment results) for the purpose of evaluating your candidacy, communicating with you, and, with your consent, conducting background and reference checks. We will retain your application materials for a reasonable period, as permitted by Applicable Law, to consider you for future opportunities.

20. Your Privacy Rights — California Residents
If you are a California resident, you have specific rights under the CCPA and CalOPPA. The CCPA imposes certain disclosure obligations on us, which we satisfy through this Section 20 and the rest of this Policy. The CCPA also affords you certain rights, which are summarized below.
20.1 Right to know
You have the right to request that we disclose: (a) the categories of Personal Information we have collected about you; (b) the categories of sources from which we collected the Personal Information; (c) our business or commercial purposes for collecting, selling, or sharing the Personal Information; (d) the categories of third parties to whom we disclose the Personal Information; and (e) the specific pieces of Personal Information we have collected about you. We have disclosed in Sections 4, 5, 6, 7, and 9 of this Policy the categories of Personal Information we have collected, used, and disclosed about California residents in the preceding twelve (12) months.
20.2 Right to delete
You have the right to request that we delete the Personal Information we have collected from you, subject to the exceptions provided by the CCPA — including, without limitation, that we may decline to delete Personal Information that is necessary to complete a transaction you requested, to detect or respond to security incidents, to comply with legal obligations, to enable internal uses reasonably aligned with your expectations, or to defend legal claims.
20.3 Right to correct
You have the right to request that we correct inaccurate Personal Information we maintain about you. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to correct inaccurate Personal Information upon a verified request, taking into account the nature of the Personal Information and the purposes of the Processing.
20.4 Right to opt out of sale or sharing
As stated in Section 9, we do not sell your Personal Information, and we do not share your Personal Information for cross-context behavioral advertising. Accordingly, no opt-out mechanism is required. Should our practices change, we will update this Policy and provide a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link on the Site’s homepage and honor opt-out preference signals where required.
20.5 Right to limit the use of sensitive Personal Information
California residents have the right to limit our use and disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information to those uses authorized by the CCPA. As described in Section 6, we Process Sensitive Personal Information only for the purposes permitted by the CCPA — including, without limitation, to provide the Services that you have requested, to verify and maintain the quality of the Services, to detect and prevent fraud and other security incidents, to ensure the safety of natural persons, and to comply with legal obligations. We do not Process Sensitive Personal Information for purposes that would trigger the right to limit under the CCPA; accordingly, no “Limit the Use of My Sensitive Personal Information” link is provided.
20.6 Right to non-discrimination
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights under the CCPA. We will not deny you goods or services, charge you different prices or rates, provide you a different level or quality of goods or services, or suggest that you will receive a different price or quality of goods or services, on the basis of your exercise of your privacy rights.
20.7 How to exercise your California rights
To exercise any of the rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request by one of the following methods:

You may designate an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf, provided you submit a written authorization signed by you (or a notarized power of attorney) and we may require you to verify your identity directly with us. We will not respond to a request that we are unable to verify.
