- Correct inaccuracies in your personal data.
- Delete personal data provided by or obtained about you.
- Obtain a copy of personal data we process in a portable and, where technically feasible, readily usable format when processing is automated.

- Opt out of targeted advertising, sale of personal data, and profiling in furtherance of solely automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning you.
These rights appear in 6 Del. C. § 12D-104(a). If we use profiling covered by the opt-out right, our relevant processing is [DESCRIPTION OR “NONE”].

You may designate an authorized agent for an opt-out request under 6 Del. C. § 12D-105. We may verify the consumer's identity and the agent's authority using commercially reasonable efforts. For access, correction, deletion, portability or third-party-category requests, we may seek information reasonably necessary to authenticate the request. We do not require authentication for an opt-out request, although we may deny one when we have a documented, good-faith and reasonable belief that it is fraudulent and explain that decision.
We respond without undue delay and no later than 45 days after receiving a request. We may extend that period by another 45 days when reasonably necessary and will tell you the reason within the first 45 days. A response is free once per consumer in any 12-month period; for manifestly unfounded, excessive or repetitive requests, we may charge a reasonable administrative fee or decline to act as the law permits.
Appeal a decision
If we decline your request, we will explain why and how to appeal. Submit an appeal through [APPEAL EMAIL, FORM OR OTHER METHOD]. We will respond in writing within 60 days after receiving it. If we deny the appeal, we will provide a method to contact the Delaware Department of Justice to submit a complaint, as required by 6 Del. C. § 12D-104(d).

Compliance documents are what regulated businesses use to prove they follow the rules that apply to their industry, whether that is privacy, anti-money-laundering, consumer protection, or sector-specific requirements. Regulators look for consistent policies, up-to-date records, and clear evidence of employee training. The cost of getting compliance paperwork right is almost always smaller than the cost of an enforcement action, fine, or public disclosure.
