3. Specific Issues for the Disclosure of Personal Data to Third Parties

3.1 We respect the confidentiality of the personal data you have provided to us.

4.1 You may request to access and/or correct the personal data currently in our possession or control by submitting a written request to us. We will need enough information from you in order to ascertain your identity as well as the nature of your request, so as to be able to deal with your request.  If we deny your access or correction request, we will provide you with reasons for doing so.

4.2 We may also charge you a reasonable fee for the handling and processing of your requests to access your personal data. We will provide you with a written estimate of the fee we will be charging.
