RIGHT to DATA PORTABILITY:

Portability
If you wish to exercise your right to data portability, you may request a copy of your personal data that we hold in a commonly used and machine-readable format. This enables you to securely transmit the data to another organization of your choice, or, if technically feasible, we may transmit it directly upon your request.
Notice:
To initiate a data portability request, please contact us at DSR@Lumen.com or access our Data Subject Request Form. We may require additional verification of your identity to ensure the security of your personal data.

NON-DISCRIMINATION/RETALIATION:

Non-discrimination
We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights, as outlined in this privacy notice, and as provided by applicable laws. This includes, but is not limited to denying you goods, services, or benefits; charging different prices or rates for goods or services or imposing unreasonable conditions, based on your exercise of privacy rights. If you believe that you have been subjected to discrimination or retaliation in violation of your privacy rights, we encourage you to promptly report your concerns to DSR@Lumen.com.
Limitations
However, none of the rights and options provided in this privacy notice shall prohibit us from charging a consumer a different price or rate, or from providing a different level or quality of goods or services to the consumer, if that difference is reasonably related to the value provided to our business by the consumer’s data.
