CCR 7021 Confirm receipt within 10 business days and respond within 45 calendar days
For requests to delete, correct and know, and for requests to access ADMT or appeal an ADMT decision, the business must acknowledge receipt within 10 business days and explain how it will process the request, including verification and when to expect a reply. The substantive response is due within 45 calendar days of receipt, whatever time verification takes, with one further 45-day extension where the consumer is told the reason.
