MCDPA provides Montana residents with specific rights regarding their personal data. This section describes those rights.

Verification Process |
Actions |
|
Access to your personal data (Right to Know)
|
You have the right to request that Epicor disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal data over the past 12 months.
|
As part of our verification process of your request we will ensure reasonable measures are in place to detect fraudulent requests and prevent unauthorized access to your personal data. We are required to verify your identity, and the identity of your authorized agent, if the request is submitted via an agent by associating the information provided in the request to any personal data previously collected by us or use a third-party identity verification service.
Any personal data requested or collected for the purpose of identity verification for a “Right to Know” request is only used for that purpose and for security or fraud-prevention.
If the Personal data is de-identified or in aggregate form, we will not re-identify the data to verify your request. We will not disclose your Social Security Number, driver License number or other government-issued identification number, financial account number, or any health insurance or medical identification number and will explain the basis for the denial, as well as any other personal data that is sensitive, as defined in Montana Civil Code section 1798.81.5 (d).
If you maintain a password-protected account with us, we may verify your identity through existing authentication practices and also require you to re-authenticate before exercising your right to the personal data requested.
If we suspect fraudulent or malicious activity on or from the password-protected account, we shall not comply with the request until further verification procedures determine that you have made the request, and we have authenticated and verified your identity as the person that has made the request.
|
Once we can confirm your verifiable request we will disclose to you: · The categories of personal data we collected about you. · The categories of sources for the personal data we collected about you. · Our business purpose for collecting that personal data. · The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal data. · Specific pieces of personal data we collected about you, if requested.

|
Before actioning your request, we will undertake the same verification process as set out immediately above for Right to Know requests.
If any of the following exceptions apply, we may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service providers to: 1. Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal data, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you. 2. Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities. 3. Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality. 4. Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law. 5. Comply with the Montana Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 seq.). 6. 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. 7. Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us. 8. Comply with a legal obligation. 9. Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

Submitting Consumer Rights Requests
To exercise the rights described above, you can contact us by submitting your request by either:
Only you or your authorized agent may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal data. If you use an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf, we may require that you (1) provide the authorized agent written permission to do so and provide a copy of the authorization to us; and (2) that we verify the identity of the authorized agent. These will not be required if your authorized agent can provide to us a copy of a power of attorney pursuant to Probate Code sections 4000 to 4465.
You may only make a verifiable consumer request twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:
We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal data if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal data relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use personal data provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify your identity or authority to make the request.
Response Timing and Format
Upon receiving your request to know or a request to delete, we will process your request or notify you if the request requires an extension or will be denied.

If you have an account with us, we may deliver our response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request's receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable.
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.
