What if you don't want to give us your personal information?
We give people the option of not identifying themselves where it is lawful and practical.

There are some exceptions to these rights. For example, we can’t give you access to personal information about other people, or if it contains commercially sensitive information.
We’ll agree to your request if it’s reasonable and lawful for us to do so. If we don’t agree, or we only partially agree, we’ll:
- write to you to explain our decision (except if it’s unreasonable to do so), and
