Exercising Your Rights

To exercise your rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:

  • Calling us at 1-888-693-8109; or
  • Completing our privacy rights request form here.

Only you, or someone legally authorized 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.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. 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..

As required under applicable law, we will take steps to verify your identity before granting you access to information or acting on your request to exercise your rights. We may require you to provide information such as your first name, last name, email address, the amount of your last transaction and the date of your last transaction to verify your identity in response to exercising requests of the above type. We may limit our response to your exercise of the above rights as permitted under applicable law. When you submit a request to exercise your rights above, we will use the information you provide to process your request and to maintain a record of your request and our response, as permitted under applicable law.

Under California law, you may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. You may make such a designation by providing the agent with written permission to act on your behalf. We will require the agent to provide proof of that written permission. To the extent permitted by law, we may require you to verify your own identity in response to a request, even if you choose to use an agent.

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 will attempt to verify your identity by matching information that you provide to us in your request to information we have in our files.


Authorized Agent

You may designate another person (an “agent”) to make a request on your behalf under the CCPA. You may also make a request on behalf of your minor child. We require a notarized Power of Attorney in compliance with Cal. Probate Code Sections 4000 to 4465, signed by you, authorizing an agent to act on your behalf to make a request under the CCPA. Please instruct your agent to submit the notarized Power of Attorney to us by emailing it to us at ccpa@wastequip.com, noting your name and the date when the request was submitted in the email, when making this request. An agent under the CCPA is a natural person or a business entity registered with the California Secretary of State that you have authorized to act on your behalf to make a request for you. If we do not receive the notarized Power of Attorney from your authorized agent, we will deny the request.


Response Timing and Format

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 total days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures 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, specifically PDF format or other readily useable format.

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.
