Verification Process

We might also employ other verification methods depending on the situation.
We will use the personal information provided in your request solely for the purpose of verifying your identity or authority to make the request. As much as possible, we aim to avoid asking for additional information for verification purposes. However, if we cannot verify your identity with the information already available to us, we may request additional information for identity verification and for security or fraud prevention purposes.
