If access cannot be provided, we will notify the individual making the request within 30 days, in writing, of the reasons for the refusal.
You may request that we change or delete your personal information in our possession. We reserve the right not to change any personal information if we do not agree that it is inaccurate or outdated, but will append any alternative text the individual concerned believes appropriate.

We generally keep personal information for only as long as it is needed to accomplish the purposes for which it was collected, or as otherwise needed to comply with applicable laws, protect our interests, or for authorized or legitimate purposes. When personal information is no longer necessary or relevant for the identified purposes, or is otherwise no longer required or permitted to be retained by applicable laws, we will take steps to have it deleted, destroyed, erased, aggregated or made anonymous. We use reasonable industry practices to ensure we have adequate controls, schedules and practices for information and records retention and destruction which apply to personal information.
