We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless its excessive, repetitive, manifestly unfounded, or in accordance with applicable law. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
Depending on applicable law, you may be limited in how many verifiable or authenticated consumer requests you make within a twelve (12) month period. If we have inadvertently collected information on your minor child, you may exercise the above rights on behalf of your minor child.

Generally, a rights request must include:
Sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected Consumer Health Data or an authorized representative, which must include, at a minimum, your first and last name and email address.
Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to the request.
We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Consumer Health Data if we cannot verify or authenticate your identity or authority to make the request and confirm that the Consumer Health Data relates to you. We will only use Consumer Health Data provided in a verifiable or authenticated consumer request to verify your (or your authorized agent’s as applicable) identity or authority to make the request.
You are not required to create an account with us to submit a verifiable or authenticated consumer request. However, we do consider requests made through your password protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to Consumer Health Data associated with that specific account. If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.
We will confirm receipt of your request within ten (10) business days. If you do not receive confirmation within the 10-day timeframe, please contact legal@functionhealth.com. Except where otherwise noted, we will respond to your request within forty-five (45) days after receipt and we reserve the right to extend the response time by an additional forty-five (45) days when reasonably necessary and provided consumer notification of the extension is made within the first forty-five (45) days.
