7. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES
Most
web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications
include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to
signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online
browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage no uniform
technology standard 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.

Right to Non-Discrimination for the Exercise of a Consumer’s Privacy Rights
We will not discriminate against you if you exercise your privacy rights.
Verification process
Upon
receiving your request, we will need to verify your identity to
determine you are the same person about whom we have the information in
our system. These verification efforts require us to ask you to provide
information so that 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.

may request correction of your personal data if it is incorrect or no
longer relevant, or ask to restrict the processing of the data.
