We ask individual users to identify themselves and the information requested to be accessed, corrected or removed before processing such requests, and we may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information residing on backup tapes), or for which access is not otherwise required. In any case where we provide information access and correction, we perform this service free of charge, except if doing so would require a disproportionate effort.

Privacy Policy changes:
• This policy may change from time to time. We expect most changes to be minor. We will post all changes to this page and, if the changes are significant, we will provide prominent notice (which may include e-mail notice). Each version of this policy will be identified at the top of this page by its effective date, and we will keep prior versions in an archive for your review.
