In addition, for your privacy and security and to prevent fraud or other harmful activities, we may ask for information that we will use to verify your identity as permitted by law. For requests of specific pieces of personal information about a consumer, we will verify your identity to a reasonably high degree of certainty; whereas for requests to know categories of information, requests to correct or for requests to delete we will verify your identity to a reasonable degree of certainty. Providing accurate information that matches our records is necessary so that we can locate the correct information within our systems and among our service providers. The information we may ask you to provide includes your name, mailing address, and either your mobile phone number or your email address.
Do not send us, directly or indirectly, any sensitive or special categories of Personal Information (e.g., social security numbers or other national or state identifiers, health information, biometric data or genetic characteristics, criminal background information, financial account numbers, payment card information, and so on) on or through the Website or otherwise.
We will evaluate and respond to your request to the extent required by law (or at our discretion if not required by law) and as permitted by our contracts, confidentiality obligations, and applicable laws and regulations. We may not be able to provide all of the information requested due to certain exceptions enumerated in other applicable laws. If we do not have sufficient information about you to verify your identity, we may not be able to identify you and will be unable to process your request. We will attempt to verify your identity by using the information you submit with your request and matching it with the information we possess about you. We may need to request additional information to sufficiently identify you.
