Exercising your Rights - Consumer Requests

To exercise any of your rights described in this CCPA Privacy Notice, please submit a consumer request to us at legal@murf.ai (in your request, please note you are writing about “Personal Information” in the subject or body of the email). 

Only you or an agent registered with the California Secretary of State who is authorized by you can submit a consumer request relating to your Personal Information. You, or your agent, may only make two consumer requests within a twelve-month period. You must provide us with information that is sufficient to allow us to reasonably verify your identity, or to confirm that you are an authorized representative of that person. You must describe your request in enough detail to allow us to properly evaluate and respond to your request. 

If we cannot verify your identity or verify the authenticity of your representative, we will be unable to respond to your request. You do not need an account with us in order to submit a consumer request. We will limit the use of any information provided to verify a consumer request to verification purposes only. 

Timing

We will work to respond to a verified consumer request within 45 days of receipt of the request. We may reasonably require additional time to comply with your request. In such a case, we will notify you in writing within the initial 45-day period that we require additional time (up to 90 days where necessary). If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account.  If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.  Disclosures will only cover the twelve-month period preceding your request.  Where necessary, we will explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request.  For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your Personal Information that is readily useable and transferable.

We do not normally charge a fee for processing or responding to consumer requests.  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.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights under the CCPA. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

  • Deny you services.
  • Charge you different prices or rates for services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
  • Provide you a different level or quality of services.
  • Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for services or a different level or quality of services.
