Refusing by First American to process a XXXX  request. 

From : XXXX XXXX XXXX Date : Thursday, XX/XX/year> at XXXX To : XXXX XXXX Cc : XXXX XXXX Subject : Re : Delete Request Dear First American Data Privacy, Thank you for your response regarding my data deletion request. 
While I appreciate the information you provided, I understand that the Utah Consumer Privacy Act ( UCPA ) applies to Utah residents regardless of the business type, unless specifically exempted by the law. 
For your reference, the Utah Division of Consumer Protection website ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) offers details on the UCPA 's scope and how it applies to different businesses. 
Therefore, I would like to respectfully reiterate my request to delete all my personal data that you hold, as allowed under the UCPA. There is nothing in GLBA that explicitly exempts Fis from data deletion rights by consumer privacy laws like the UCPA. The GLBA does however mandate XXXX implement reasonable security measures to protect consumer data in addition to granting consumers the right to access their financial information and control how its shared. 
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I look forward to your confirmation of the deletion process.
