purpose in this notice
will require us keeping
your personal

When we have no ongoing
legitimate business need

any personal information
we process. However,
despite our safeguards
and efforts to secure
your information, no
electronic transmission
over the Internet or
information storage
technology can be
guaranteed to be 100%
secure, so we cannot
promise or guarantee
that hackers,
cybercriminals, or other
unauthorized third
parties will not be able
to defeat our security
and improperly collect,
access, steal, or modify

reasonable measures to

8. CONTROLS FOR
DO-NOT-TRACK
FEATURES
Most web browsers and
some mobile operating
systems and mobile
applications include a
Do-Not-Track ("DNT")
feature or setting you
can activate to signal
your privacy preference
not to have data about
your online browsing
activities monitored and
collected. At this stage
no uniform technology
standard for recognizing
and implementing DNT
signals has been
finalized. As such, we
do not currently respond
to DNT browser signals
or any other mechanism
that automatically
communicates your choice
not to be tracked
online. If a standard
for online tracking is
adopted that we must
follow in the future, we
will inform you about
that practice in a
revised version of this
privacy notice.

request you submit, we
may ask you to provide
certain information so
that we can match the
information you provide
with the information we

through a communication
method (e.g., phone or

previously provided to
us. We may also use
other verification
methods as the

dictate.

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.
