This sensitive information will only be used to fulfill our obligations under any privacy rules and no other purpose. Similarly, where personal information provided to us includes a 'government identifier' (such as a license number on a driver's license), we will only use or disclose such identifiers where it is reasonably necessary to verify your identity, or as required or permitted by law.

Where possible, sensitive information will not be collected and will otherwise be deleted where practicable once any obligations under any rules have been fulfilled.
