If you do not provide the personal information we request, we may not be able to assist you with your referral or process your inquiry.

Where this occurs, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that these recipients handle your information in accordance with the APPs and maintain confidentiality and data security.
We require all third-party partners to comply with strict privacy and confidentiality obligations and to use your personal information only for the purpose of responding to your inquiry or providing the services you have requested.
Please note: Once you are referred to a third-party provider, their own privacy policy and terms will apply to any information you provide directly to them.
