You will be notified within one month of any extension and the reasons for it.
We will provide the information requested under section 13 free of charge unless a request is unfounded or excessive, particularly if repeated, in which case we may charge a reasonable fee to cover administrative costs, or we may refuse to act on the request.
If we have reasonable doubts about your identity in connection with a request, the Company may ask for additional information.
