We will explain the  consequences of deletion at that time to assist you in your decision.

Before providing you with access to your information, we may ask you for specific information to help us confirm your identity and right of access, and to provide you with the personal  information we hold about you, or to make the requested changes. In some cases, applicable  law requires us to refuse to provide you with access to some or all of the personal information  we hold about you, or that we may have destroyed, erased or made anonymous in accordance  with our legal record-keeping obligations and privacy best practices. If we are unable to  provide you with access to your personal information, we will inform you of the reasons why,  subject to any legal or regulatory restrictions.
