identify an individual.

For example, providing a name and address to receive a publication, or a name and telephone number to obtain an answer to a question, is considered implied consent to the collection of information containing personal information. In determining the appropriate type of consent, we take into account the sensitivity of the personal information involved, the purposes for which it is collected and the reasonable expectations of a similarly situated individual.If we want to use personal information for a new purpose, we will describe the intended use and ask for consent again.It is not always possible, particularly in the case of government requests, to obtain consent for the collection, use or disclosure of personal information. We will never disclose such information other than in accordance with this Policy, except as required or permitted by law.
