- Right to Know: You have the right to submit a verifiable request up to twice in a 12-month period that we disclose the personal information we have collected about you, including the categories of personal information, the categories of sources from which the personal information is collected, the business or commercial purposes for collecting, selling, or sharing personal information, the categories of third parties to whom we disclose personal information, and the specific pieces of your personal information we have collected about you.
- Right to Portability: You have the right of portability, or the right to have use transfer your personal information to other persons or entities upon your request.

How to Exercise Your Rights

Company will respond to requests in accordance with applicable law if the identity of the individual submitting the request can be verified. You can exercise your rights in the following ways:

- Call: (888) 300-3382
- Email: privacy@wilshirelawfirm.com
- Fill out the form on the Wilshire Law Firm website.

How We Will Verify Your Request

We match personal information that you provide Company against personal information Company maintains in its files. The more risk entailed by the request (e.g., a request for specific pieces of personal information), the more items of personal information Company may request to verify your identity. If you ask us to provide you with specific pieces of personal information, we may require you to sign a declaration under penalty of perjury that you are the individual whose personal information is the subject of the request and provide appropriate proof of identity. For requests to know or delete information about a child under the age of 13, we accept requests for information regarding minors under the age of 13 if we can determine that such requests were submitted by a parent of guardian.

If Company cannot verify your identity to a sufficient level of certainty to respond securely to your request, Company will let you know promptly and explain why your identity cannot be verified.

Authorized Agents

You may designate an authorized agent to exercise your rights. If an authorized agent submits a request on your behalf, the authorized agent must submit with the request another document signed by you that authorizes the authorized agent to submit the request on your behalf. In addition, Company may ask you or your authorized agent to follow the applicable process described above for verifying your identity. You can obtain the “Authorized Agent Designation” form by contacting HR@wilshirelawfirm.com.

In the alternative, you can provide a power of attorney compliant with the California Probate Code.

Responding to Requests

Within 10 days of receiving an HR Individual’s request, we will confirm receipt of the request and provide information about how we will process the request. Generally, we will respond to an HR Individual’s request within 45 days. If we need more time to respond, we will provide the HR Individual with notice and an explanation of the reason we need more time to respond. We may deny the HR Individual’s request if we cannot verify their identity or are legally permitted to deny the request, such as if doing so proves impossible or would involve disproportionate effort.
If we deny the HR Individual’s request, we will explain the basis for the denial, provide or delete any personal information that is not subject to the denial, and refrain from using the personal information retained for any purpose other than permitted by the denial. We will maintain a record of the HR Individual’s request and our response for 24 months. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we may charge a reasonable fee to comply with an HR Individual’s request if the request is manifestly unfounded, excessive, or repetitive.
