How they confirm it
email ownership — the request portal states "You will verify your identity with an email address you own"; the policy adds "We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests ... If we cannot verify your identity, we may be unable to fulfill certain requests. We will still process opt-out or suppression requests to the extent required and feasible". Optional SMS verification if you give a phone number
If they ignore you
CCPA complaint to the California Privacy Protection Agency (CA registrant); California Attorney General (company is in San Francisco); Texas Attorney General (registered Texas data broker); EU/UK residents can lodge a complaint with their supervisory authority via the Bird & Bird representatives named in §13.B
