Information for California Residents.
If you are a resident of California, this section provides information regarding your rights, and Cataudella Law’s responsibilities, regarding your Personal Information.
California Resident Rights.

This includes the specific pieces and categories of Personal Information that the business has collected about the user or member, the categories of sources for that information, the business or commercial purposes for collecting the information, and the categories of third parties with which the information was shared.
California residents also have the right to submit a request for deletion of information under certain circumstances.

After you submit the request, you will be asked to verify your email address and may also be asked to provide additional information in order to verify your identity, including potentially providing a declaration under penalty of perjury.

Where this is not possible, Cataudella Law may request you submit additional information for verification, such as proof of residency or redacted government-issued identification. Please note that consistent with California law, we will be unable to satisfy your request until we have verified your identity.
You may also designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf.
