we
can
match
it
with
information
you
have
previously
provided
us.
For
instance,
depending
on
the
type
of
request
you
submit,
we
may
ask
you
to
provide
certain
information
so
that
we
can
match
the
information
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.
If,
however,
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.
