We consider a request to exercise the knowledge or deletion rights made through your password-protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to Personal Information associated with that specific account. In addition, if you do not have, or cannot access, a passwordprotected account with us, we will generally require the matching of sufficient information you provide us to the information that we maintain about you in our systems in order to verify your identity. Although we try to limit the Personal Information collected in connection with a request to exercise the knowledge or deletion rights to the Personal Information identified in your request, certain requests may require us to obtain additional Personal Information from you, such as name and e-mail address. In certain circumstances, we may decline a request to exercise the knowledge and/or deletion rights, particularly where we are unable to verify your identity.
If you use an authorized agent to make requests to exercise of the knowledge or deletion rights on your behalf, we may require you to (1) provide the authorized agent signed permission to do so, (2) verify your own identity directly with us (as described above), and (3) directly confirm with us that you provided the authorized agent permission to submit the requests.
