Verification. Requests for access to, deletion, or correction of Personal Information are subject to our ability to verify your identity. If you have a Wisp account, we will verify your identity by asking you to log into your account. If you do not have an account, we will attempt to verify your identity by asking for information that we may have about you, such as your name, email address, phone number, and other information.
Authorizing an Agent. If you are acting as an authorized agent to make a request to know, delete, or correct on behalf of a California resident, please send an email to privacy@hellowisp.com and attach a written authorization signed by the resident. We may still require the California resident to directly verify their identity and confirm that they have provided you permission to submit the request.
If you submit an appeal and it is unsuccessful, you can raise a concern or lodge a complaint, depending on where you reside, with the Washington State Attorney General at www.atg.wa.gov/file-complaint or the Nevada State Attorney General at https://ag.nv.gov/Contact/.
