How California Residents Can Exercise Your California Rights under the CCPA: If you are a resident of California:

We will work to verify your request using the identifying information you provide us in the request with any Personal Information we may maintain; if we are unable to do so, we may ask you follow-up questions. To protect your Personal Information, when submitting your request, please provide information sufficient for us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information and describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate and respond to it, including information about your relationship with Iridium (e.g., a customer of Iridium Services or an Iridium partner).

We will process your verifiable request free of charge, but we are only obligated to provide information to you pursuant to such requests two times in a 12-month period. Note, we may deny your request in whole or in part if we cannot verify your identity. For requests to delete, we will not delete any Personal Information unless we have confirmed with you that you want your Personal Information deleted, unless otherwise required by applicable law. You can also designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. To do so, we may require that you confirm directly to us that you have provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request, and even if you elect to use an authorized agent to make a request, we may verify your identity directly with you.
