Mandatory verification: The user’s identity must be verified before their request can be processed. Nevertheless, because the user cannot set up an account in the App, no information is provided directly by the user, and information is collected on an automatic basis, restricted verification methods can be used. To verify the user’s identity, in general, we will require the data in our systems to match with the information we can process when the user is making a request. In some instances, the request could be declined, mainly if the user’s identity cannot be verified, for example, if cookies are disabled, the device used to access the App is changed or if deletion of personal data has already been requested.
