Verification process
Upon receiving your request, we may need to verify your identity to determine you are the same person with whom we have the information in our system.

We may also use other verification methods as the circumstances dictate.
We will only use the personal information provided in your request to verify your identity or authority to make the request. To the extent possible, we will avoid requesting additional information from you for the purposes of verification.

Authorized agents
You may use an authorized agent to make a request to exercise your rights by contacting us via the contact information provided at the end of this notice.
