Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may exercise any of these rights related to your personal information.

- Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information; or you are an authorized representative, which may include:
- If you have a password-protected account within our systems, we may offer you the ability to verify your identity using the same authentication process used to access the password-protected account. Any verification using this process will require you to re-authenticate yourself in order to verify your identity.
- If you do not have a password-protected account, or if you do not use your password- protected account for verification, you will be required to provide at least two data points that match data points that we maintain. In the event that a request involves certain highly sensitive information, we will require you to provide at least three data points that match data points that we maintain in order to verify identity.

You do not need to create an account with us to submit a request to know or delete. However, we do consider requests made through your password protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to personal information associated with that specific account.
We will only use personal information provided in the request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make it.

If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.
