Verification process:
Upon receiving your request, we will need to verify your identity to determine whether you are the same person about whom we have information in our system. These verification efforts require us to ask you to provide information so that we can match it with information you have previously provided to us. For example, depending on the type of request you submit, we may ask you to provide certain information so that we can match the information you provide with information we already have on file, or we may contact you through a communication method (e.g., phone or email) that you have previously provided to us. We may also use other verification methods as the circumstances warrant.
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 verification purposes. However, if we are unable to verify your identity from the information already held by us, we may ask you to provide additional information for the purposes of verifying your identity and/or for security or fraud prevention purposes. We will delete any such additionally provided information once we have finished verifying you.
