These verification efforts
require us to ask you to provide
information so that we can match it

provided us.
For instance, 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 the
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 dictate.
<br>
We will
only use 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.
However, if we cannot
verify your identity from the
information already maintained by us,
we may request that you provide
additional information for the
purposes of verifying your identity
and for security or fraud-prevention
purposes.
We will delete such
additionally provided information as
soon as we finish verifying
you.

request submission.
