We cannot respond to your request or provide you with your Personal Information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm that 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 your password protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to personal information associated with that specific account. We will only use the Personal Information provided in the request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make it.
Data which has retention criteria established by law cannot be deleted upon request.
Response Timing and Format
We will confirm receipt of your request within ten (10) business days. If you do not receive confirmation within the 10-day timeframe, please contact Customerservice@hrcts.com. We endeavor to substantively respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to another 45 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of your request. 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 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.
Data Security
Our employees are required to protect the confidentiality of your Personal Information and to comply with our established policies and procedures. In addition, our employees may access Personal Information only when there is an appropriate reason to do so, such as providing our Services, including administering your account and/or processing claims on your behalf. We have implemented appropriate physical, electronic and procedural safeguards, which comply with all applicable federal standards to protect your Personal Information. These measures are designed to secure your Personal Information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. However, the safety and security of your Personal Information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to your account or our online portals, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of Personal Information transmitted to us over the internet. Any transmission of Personal Information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on our website or related portals.
Changes to Our Privacy Policy
We may amend this Privacy Policy at any time and without notice to you, and it is our policy to post any changes we make to our Privacy Policy on this page. Please regularly check our website for the latest version of this Privacy Policy. If we make material changes to how we treat your Personal Information, we will notify you by Our email to the primary email address specified in your account. You are responsible for ensuring we have an up-to-date active and deliverable email address for you. The date this Privacy Policy was last revised is identified at the top of the page.

Our website and our Services are not intended for children under 16 years of age and we do not sell or share the Personal Information of children under age 16.
