Inquiries Regarding the Lewis Privacy Policy
You may inquire about your privacy rights as follows:
- Calling us toll-free at: (888) 597-0090
- Emailing to: consumerinfo@lewismc.com
- Right to opt-out of the “sale” of your Personal Information. Like many companies, we use services that help deliver interest-based ads to you by allowing the services to collect information from our website users (e.g., online identifiers and browsing activity). Some states, like California, classifies our use of these services as a “sale” of your Personal Information to the companies that provide the services. To the extent our activities constitute a “sale” of your personal information, under applicable law, you can request to opt-out of this “sale” of your personal information here: consumerinfo@lewismc.com
We cannot process your request if you do not provide us with enough detail to verify your identity and respond to your request. A California resident can empower an “authorized agent” to submit requests on his/her behalf. We will require the authorized agent to have a written authorization confirming that authority. Please note that the CCPA limits these rights by, for example, prohibiting us from providing certain sensitive information in response to an access request and limiting the circumstances in which we must comply with a deletion request. If we deny your request, we will communicate our decision to you.
