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.

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.
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
