a revised version of this privacy notice.

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
