“you”, “your”, “yours”), who are consumers residing
in the Commonwealth of Virginia, according to the
“Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act" (the

the right to request that we confirm whether or not
we are processing your personal data. You also have

significant effects concerning you.

against you for exercising your rights under the
VCDPA. This means that we will not, among other
things, deny goods or services, charge you a
different price, or provide a different level or
quality of goods or services just because you

program.
How to exercise your rights
To exercise the rights described above, you need to
submit your request to us by contacting us via the
contact details provided in this document.
For us to respond to your request, we need to know
who you are.
We will not respond to any request if we are unable
to verify your identity using commercially
reasonable efforts and therefore confirm that the
personal data in our possession actually relates to
you. In such cases, we may request that you provide
additional information which is reasonably necessary
to authenticate you and your request.
Making a consumer request does not require you to
create an account with us. However, we may require
you to use your existing account. We will use any
personal data collected from you in connection with
your request solely for the purposes of
authentication, without further disclosing the
personal data, retaining it longer than necessary
for purposes of authentication, or using it for
unrelated purposes.

behalf of a minor under your parental authority.

but in all cases and at the latest within 45 days of
its receipt. Should we need more time, we will
explain to you the reasons why, and how much more
time we need. In this regard, please note that we
may take up to 90 days to fulfill your request.
Should we deny your request, we will explain to you
the reasons behind our denial without undue delay,
but in all cases and at the latest within 45 days of
receipt of the request. It is your right to appeal
such decision by submitting a request to us via the
details provided in this document. Within 60 days of
receipt of the appeal, we will inform you in writing
of any action taken or not taken in response to the
appeal, including a written explanation of the
reasons for the decisions. If the appeal is denied
you may contact the Attorney General to submit a
complaint.

described above, please submit a verifiable consumer
request to us: info@simplebyteapps.com
We will need to verify your identity before
processing your request. The verifiable consumer
request must:
• Provide sufficient information that allows us to
reasonably verify you are the person about whom we
collected personal information or a legal
representative.
• Describe your request with sufficient detail that
allows us to properly understand, evaluate and
respond to it.
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.
Making a verifiable consumer request does not
require you to create an account with us. We will
only use personal information provided in a
verifiable consumer request to verify the
requestor’s identity or authority to make the
request.
