by law or for legitimate business purposes. 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. Some of our services have different procedures to access, correct or delete
users' personal information. We provide the details for these procedures in the
