The categories of personal information we collected about you
The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you

Exercising Access and Deletion Rights: To exercise the access and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either calling 610-337-7444, Ext 1005 or at privacy@quadgen.com.

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. We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. 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

Authorized Agents: If you wish to exercise access or deletion rights through an authorized agent, we require the following before we can process the request:

A copy of your written permission authorizing the agent to make the request;
That you verify your identity directly with us; and
Direct confirmation from you that you provided the agent permission to submit the request.

If your authorized agent has a valid power of attorney under California Probate Code sections 4000 to 4465, we may request proof of the power of attorney instead of the foregoing.

We may deny a request from an agent that does not submit proof you authorized them to act on your behalf.
Non-Discrimination: If you exercise your privacy rights under California law, we will not do any of the following in response:

Deny you goods or services.
Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through the use of discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
