We will respond to requests in accordance with applicable law if we can verify the identity of the individual submitting the request. You can exercise your rights by contacting us via email at ops@sycamoregroveclaims.com.

Except for residents of California and Utah, you may also have the right to appeal any decision we make in response to a request to exercise privacy rights, by using the webform or by calling us at the telephone number listed above.

How We Will Verify Your Request:

We will ask you to confirm information we already have on file, or provide other information sufficient for us to determine and confirm your identity before responding to your request.

We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request, in order to speed up our response.

The more risk entailed by the request, the more items of personal information we may request to verify your identity. If we cannot verify your identity to a sufficient level of certainty to respond securely to your request, we will let you know promptly and explain why we cannot verify your identity.

Authorized Agents:

You may also authorize someone to make a request on your behalf. To do so, you must provide the agent with written, signed permission to submit privacy right requests on your behalf, or provide a letter from your attorney. The agent or attorney must provide this authorization at the time of request. Note that we may require you to verify your identity with us directly before we provide any requested information to your approved agent.
