When you exercise these rights and send a request to us, we or our partners may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the information (or to exercise any of your other rights).

These measures are another appropriate security measure to ensure that Personal Data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.

When you exercise your rights, we will not discriminate against you in any way. For example, we will not deny you goods or services, charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, deny you discounts or other benefits or impose penalties on you, or provide you with or suggest that you will receive a different level or quality of goods or services.
