Virginia Consumer Privacy Rights

The Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (the “VCDPA”) confers privacy rights on Virginia consumers and imposes corresponding obligations on businesses subject to the VCDPA.

The following is intended to explain a consumers’ rights and the obligations Mobilewalla has under the VCDPA.

Right to Know/Request for Access to Personal Information

As a consumer under the VCDPA, you have the right to request that Mobilewalla disclose what personal information we collect, the purpose for which we use the personal information, as well as the categories of personal information that we disclose and sell about you. We call this your “right to know.”

To take advantage of your right to know, you can submit a request by filling out a request on our online consumer portal found here.

You can also submit your request by mail. Our mailing address is:

Mobilewalla, Inc.
Attention: Consumer Rights Requests
2472 Jett Ferry Road, STE 400-214
Dunwoody, GA 30338

To respond to your right to know request, the VCDPA permits Mobilewalla to verify your identity. Mobilewalla does not have the personal or personal sensitive data in our data corpus to authenticate your request, therefore we treat all such requests as a “delete” request.   You will need to provide us with the mobile advertising ID (MAID) assigned by Google or Apple for us to search our database. This link may be helpful in finding your MAID. You must provide your MAID for us to act on your request.
