to correct this data if it is inaccurate or to delete such data at the request of the User if it is not
otherwise required to be retained by law or for legitimate business purposes. Meals By Grace Inc. Products may ask
individual users to identify themselves and the information requested to be accessed, corrected or
removed before processing such requests. Meals By Grace Inc. may decline to process requests that are unreasonably
repetitive or systematic, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others,
