We will use this information to communicate with you and to help us locate your personal information. We will not use it for any other purposes.
Please tell us which of the following brands to apply your request. You may make a request that relates only to a specific brand, or to multiple brands, or to all of our brands.
Authenticating Your Request by Verifying Your Identity
For your protection, and the protection of our other consumers, when you submit a privacy request, we must authenticate the request by verifying your identity. (When someone asks us for a copy of your personal information, we want to be confident that person is really you.) We ask you to provide personal information to help us verify your identity, but we will use that information only for the purpose of verification; we will not use the additional personal information you provide for any other purpose.
The degree of proof required, and the type of information necessary to prove your identity, will vary depending upon the nature of the request and the sensitivity of the information. For example, when we receive a request for specific pieces of a customer’s personal information, we will generally verify the identity of the requestor to a reasonably high degree of certainty, usually by matching three or more data points provided by the requestor to data points that we have on record.
For a Request to Delete, a Request to Opt-Out of the sale of your information, a Request to Opt-In to the sale of your information, a Request to Opt-Out of Sharing for Third-Party Marketing, or a Request to Know Categories of Information, or a Request to Correct, we usually will use the information you submit in the webform to match data points that we have on record in order to verify your identity.
For a Request to Know Specific Pieces of Data (Data Portability Request), we generally will offer more than one option for verifying your identity, including the following:
Identity Verification Option 1 (Verification by ID): Please complete this form , sign it, and send (i) the form and (ii) an image of your government-issued identification, to us by attaching the documents below. (Please redact your Driver’s License Number, Passport Number, Social Security Number, or similar identification number, from the image before submitting it. You may redact the ID number by covering it up before creating the image or by obscuring only that portion of the image.)
Identity Verification Option 2 (Verification in Person): You may also submit your request and verify your identity in person at one of our California retail locations.
We encourage you to verify your identity and provide (attach) the required documents when you submit a Request to Know Specific Pieces of Data (Data Portability Request); however, you may verify your identity as a second step after you have submitted your request. If you submit a Request to Know Specific Pieces of Data (Data Portability Request), without verifying your identity, upon receiving your request we will promptly ask you to verify your identity by providing the required documents via encrypted email or mail, as described in Option 1 above. Your decision to verify your identity as a separate step may delay the fulfillment of your request.
Shortly after receiving a valid, complete request, we will contact you by email (unless you request to be contacted by mail, below) if we need additional information or documentation to verify your identity so that we may fulfill your request. Please comply promptly with our attempts to verify your identity. If you do not respond, or do not cooperate with our instructions, we will not be able to fulfill your request, and your request will be deemed abandoned. If you are unable to comply with our instructions, please tell us and we will consider a reasonable accommodation for you.
Additional information About Your Privacy Rights and Our Procedures
If you are submitting a Request to Know Specific Pieces of Information (Data Portability Request), please attach files verifying your identity. See the section above captioned “Authenticating Your Request by Verifying Your Identity” for information regarding acceptable evidence of your identity.
If you are submitting a request on behalf of another person, please attach documents showing your authority to act on behalf of another person, as well as documents verifying the identity of the person you purport to represent.

Timeframe for Fulfillment
We will take reasonable efforts to comply with your request within 45 days. If reasonably necessary, we may extend that timeframe by an additional period and we will notify you if we do.
Method of Fulfillment
We will furnish information in response to valid, verified requests in a readily accessible format, and in most cases, we will respond to Requests to Know Specific Pieces of Information (Data Portability Requests) using the native file format or readable PDF (portable document format) file(s). You should be able to access the content within a PDF file in any number of common applications, including the free Adobe® Acrobat® Reader which is available for download directly from Adobe® here: https://get.adobe.com/reader/ (This is an external link to a third-party software developer’s website.) If you are unable to access the files, please tell us and we will consider a reasonable accommodation for you.
Limited Circumstances in Which a Request May Be Denied
There are limited circumstances in which a request may be denied in part or in whole, including the circumstances described in this section. We are not able to fulfill a request of the same type more than twice in any 12-month period (you may, however, make a request of a different type). If we determine that any consumer’s requests are unfounded or excessive, in particular because of their repetitive character, we may either charge a reasonable fee or decline to fulfill the request. We are not required to delete personal information if we determine that the information is necessary to: (i) complete a transaction or perform a contract between us; (ii) ensure security; (iii) debug or repair errors; (iv) exercise a legal right; (v) comply with another law or a legal obligation; (vi) conduct research; (vii) enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with our consumer’s reasonable expectations; (viii) otherwise use the information, internally, in a lawful manner that is compatible with the context in which you provided the information; or (ix) as otherwise permitted by applicable law. We will not provide specific pieces of personal information if the disclosure creates a substantial, articulable, and unreasonable risk to the security of that personal information, a consumer’s account, or the security of VF. We will not disclose a consumer’s social security number, driver’s license number or other government-issued identification number, financial account number, any health insurance or medical identification number, an account password, or security questions and answers. If we suspect fraudulent or malicious activity, we will not comply with a request until further verification procedures are completed to authenticate the request. We may deny a request if the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive to fulfill (e.g. repetitive, request for copies of same information etc.). We may deny a request if we or our service provider does not possess the requested personal information. We may deny a request if fulfilling the request is incompatible with our regulatory compliance obligations. We may deny a request if fulfilling the request would hinder our ability to establish a valid legal defense to an impending legal claim or, with respect to deletion requests, if the personal data is subject to a legal hold.

You may ask us to correct any inaccurate information about you by using this form or by using one of the communication methods described below (under the heading “Contact Us”), and we will exercise our discretion in responding to such requests.
