Depending on location and applicable law, users may have certain privacy rights, which may include the right to request access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, objection, opt-out of certain processing, or withdrawal of consent.

AZOTH may need to verify identity and account authority before processing privacy requests. Some requests may be limited or denied where permitted by law, including where information is needed for legal, security, tax, accounting, compliance, order fulfillment, dispute resolution, fraud prevention, or recordkeeping purposes.
