Verify your identity

The Company may request specific information from a User to help the Company confirm its identity and its right to access and to provide such User with the personal data that the Company holds about it or make its requested changes pursuant to applicable privacy law. Applicable privacy law may allow or require the Company to refuse to provide a User with access to some or all of the personal data that the Company holds about such User, or the Company may have destroyed, erased, or made such User's personal information anonymous in accordance with the Company's record retention obligations and practices. If the Company cannot provide a User with access to its personal information, the Company will inform such User of the reasons why, subject to any legal or regulatory restrictions. In order for the Company to verify a User's identity, it will generally either require the successful login to such User's account and/or the matching of sufficient information a User provides to the Company to such User's personal information maintained within the Company's systems. Although the Company tries to limit the personal data collected in connection with a User request to exercise its rights, certain requests may require the Company to obtain additional personal information from the relevant User. In certain circumstances, the Company may decline a request to exercise a User's right to know and right to deletion, particularly where the Company is unable to verify such User's identity. You consent to an electronic database search by us in order to verify your identity. We shall retain records of the contents and results of such searches in accordance with (this Policy and) all current and applicable laws. We further reserve the right, if considered appropriate at our sole discretion, to provide relevant information regarding you and your transactions to law enforcement agencies
