You may also use an authorized agent to exercise your rights on your behalf.  If you wish to use an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf, unless you have provided the authorized agent with power of attorney, we may require that: (1) you provide your authorized agent signed permission to do so; (2) you verify your identity; and (3) you confirm that you have provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request. We may deny any request from an authorized agent that does not submit proof that they have been authorized by you to act on your behalf.

Your authorized agent may make a request on your behalf by contacting us at compliance@cedarfair.com.

Please note that in most cases we are not able to respond to more than two “Right to Know” requests from a consumer in any 12-month period.
