Right to Know What Personal Information is Being Collected You have the right to request that our company disclose what Personal Information about you we collect, use or disclose. Specifically, once we receive and confirm your verifiable request (see Exercising Your Rights below), we will at your request disclose to you:    Categories of Personal Information we collected about you.

Once we receive and confirm your verifiable request (see Exercising Your Rights below), we will delete your Personal Information from our records (and if applicable, notify our service providers and contractors to delete your Personal Information from their records), unless an exception applies under the CCPA.  Note that we may deny your deletion request if retaining the Personal Information is reasonably necessary and permitted under the CCPA.
Right to Request Correction  You have the right to request that our company correct inaccurate Personal Information that our company maintains about you.
Right to Opt-Out of Sharing  For Personal Information collected by our company through cookies or web trackers from your internet activity with our websites, you have the right to opt out of us sharing such Personal information with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising. You can exercise this right through our “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” tool in our cookie banner.

Charging you different prices or rates for products or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties. 
Providing you a different level or quality of products or services.
Suggesting that you may receive a different price or rate for products or services or a different level or quality of products or services. 

Exercising Your Rights 

If you are a California resident, you can exercise these rights by submitting a request to our company by emailing or calling our company at:

Email: dataprotectionoffice-northamerica@enel.com
Phone: +1 (800) 359-6615

Exercising Your Rights via Authorized Agent

To submit a request as an authorized agent on behalf of a California resident who wishes to exercise these rights, you may use the same submission methods provided above.  As part of our verification process, among other requests we may make, we will request that you provide your contact information, relationship to the California resident, documentation verifying your identity and documentation showing that you are authorized to act as a representative of the California resident (such as a power of attorney or signed written authorization from the California resident).

Verifiable Requests 

The CCPA requires our company to verify requests that we receive, and we may ask you to provide certain additional information for our company to verify your request in accordance with the CCPA.  To submit a verifiable request, please include in your request:

  • Description of your request with sufficient detail that allows our company to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it. 
  • Sufficient information that allows our company to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information or an authorized representative. 

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 request does not require you to create an account with us. We will use Personal Information provided in a verifiable request only to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.  

Response Timing and Format

For verifiable requests made by California residents, we will respond to your request in a manner that is consistent with the CCPA.   We will endeavour to provide an initial response to your request within 10 business days of receipt and will attempt to fulfil the request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. 

We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.  Any disclosures we provide will cover only the 12-month period preceding our receipt of a verifiable request, unless you request a longer period and to the extent such longer period is required under the CCPA. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable.  For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your Personal Information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.  We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable request unless it is excessive (in particular because of the repetitive nature of the requests) or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a reasonable fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Other than as noted here, we do not support “Do Not Track” browser settings at this time.  Enel North America’s website supports global privacy controls (“GPC”) that enable do not track functionalities on certain internet browsers when the GPC functionality is enabled by individuals.
