consumer
request to us by email at info@alkmy.app.
Only you or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf,
may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable
consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

collected personal information or an authorized representative.

respond to it.
We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or

verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. The response
we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability
requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow
you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive,
repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee,we will tell you why we
made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
