Additionally, we may obtain personal information from other parties, such as our related companies, service providers, agents or representatives, your employer, your agents or representatives (such as your advisers), and publicly available sources of information.
​
What happens if you do not provide the information we request?
If you decide not to provide us with the personal information we request, we may be unable to fulfil your request or provide you with the product or service you seek.

In such cases, we will inform you of the law that requires us to collect this information and take reasonable steps to do so.

We are required by law to protect any information that comes into our possession, but we cannot guarantee the security of information transmitted over the Internet.
Sometimes we provide links to external websites that are not operated by us. These sites are not subject to our privacy standards, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices or content.
