Right to Delete
You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions (the “right to delete”). Once we receive your request and confirm your identity, we will review your request to see if an exception allowing us to retain the information applies. We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:
- Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the
context of our ongoing business relationship with you, fulfill the terms of a written warranty or product recall conducted in accordance with federal law, or otherwise perform our contract with you.

- Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 et. seq.).
- Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information’s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research’s achievement, if you previously provided informed consent.
- Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
- Comply with a legal obligation.
- Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.
We will delete or deidentify personal information not subject to one of these exceptions from our records and will direct our service providers to take similar action.
We do not provide these deletion rights for B2B personal information.
Right to Correct
You have the right to request that we correct your personal information that you believe is inaccurate.
Exercising Your Rights to Know, Delete or Correct
To exercise your rights described above, you will need to submit a “verifiable consumer request”. This means that you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a request to know, delete or correct your personal information. As a parent or legal guardian, you may make a consumer request on behalf of your minor child. To verify your identity, we ask that you provide the following information with your request:
- First and Last Name
- Email address
- Phone Number
- Full Address (Street, City, State and Zip-code)
We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. You do not need to create an account with us to submit a request to know or delete. However, we do consider requests made through a password protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to personal information associated with that specific account. If we cannot successfully verify your identity, we will inform you of that fact. We will only use personal information provided in the request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make it.
You may only submit a request to know twice within a 12-month period.
You may submit a verifiable consumer request to know, delete or correct by:
- Calling us at 1-800-450-0068
- By mail to:
Attn: PRIVACY OFFICE
13900 Riverport Drive Maryland Heights, MO 63043

However, in certain circumstances, we may require additional time to process your request, as permitted by the CCPA or other applicable law. We will advise you within forty-five (45) days after receiving your request if such an extension is necessary and why it is needed. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of your verifiable consumer request.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. 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.

We will not discriminate against you in a manner prohibited by the CCPA because you exercise your CCPA rights.
