The Company may withhold all or part of the information if disclosure would fall under any of the following, and will notify the person without delay if it decides not to disclose.

3. The Company will notify the User without delay when it makes a Correction or decides not to.
Article 12 (Suspension of Use)

3. The Company will notify the User without delay when it carries out a Suspension or decides not to.
