Upon verifying your request (see below), we will disclose to you:
You have the right to request that Align delete any of the personal information collected from you and retained by us, subject to certain exceptions.

Please note that a record of your deletion request may be kept pursuant to our legal obligations.

Please note that Consumers have a right to not receive discriminatory treatment for the exercise of their rights under the CCPA.
Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child. You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access twice within a 12-month period. Your verifiable consumer request must:
We will only use the personal information that you have provided in a verifiable consumer request in order to verify your request. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority.
Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We consider a request made through your password-protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to personal information associated with that specific account.
Only you, or a person that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a request related to your personal information. You may also make a request on behalf of your minor child. In all cases, your request must be verified before we take action (and shall take such action pursuant to the timing permitted under the CCPA). Verifying your request may require you to:
We will only use the personal information that you have provided in a verifiable request in order to verify your request. As stated above, we cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority.
Making a verifiable request does not require you to create an account with us. We consider a request made through your password-protected account sufficiently “verified” when the request relates to personal information associated with that specific account and you have complied with any of our existing authentication practices.
We aim to respond to customer requests within forty-five (45) days of receipt. If we are unable to deliver a response to verifiable consumer requests within this timeframe, we will inform you of the reason and estimated extension period in writing. We will deliver a response to your existing account with us, if applicable, or a written response by mail or electronically, at your option.
Any disclosures will cover only 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. Data portability requests will be issued in a format that is readily useable, we do not charge a fee unless your request is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If the request warrants a reasonable fee, we will tell you why and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
Please note that we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act on a request if such request is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded.
If, in the future, we intend to process your personal information for a purpose other than that which it was collected, we will provide you with information on that purpose and any other relevant information at a reasonable time prior to such processing. After such time, the relevant information relating to such processing activity will be revised or added appropriately (either within this Privacy Policy or elsewhere), and the “Effective Date” at the top of this page will be updated accordingly.

The varying tiers reflect the number of Invisalign® aligner treatments prescribed by a doctor, ranging from fewest (Bronze) to most (Diamond Plus). Valued Invisalign Providers (VIP) are a subset of orthodontists who have historically treated a greater percentage of cases in their practice with Invisalign clear aligners. Doctors with a star in their icon also treat teens with Invisalign clear aligners. The provider tiers and other designations used in this tool are not intended to reflect the quality or skill level of the provider nor be viewed as an endorsement or recommendation by Align of any provider.
In addition to treating adults, doctors with a star in their icon also treat teens with Invisalign clear aligners.
