We can only respond to your request if it is verifiable.

We may ask for additional information that will help us do so. We will only use that additional information in the verification process, and not for any other purpose.
 
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded.
