You may also use the complete Compromised Account Information, including any passwords, to determine if the data can be used to log in to your employees’ or customers’ accounts. You may then, solely at your option, notify your employees or customers that their accounts have been compromised, initiate automatic password reset procedures, or take any other lawful action in your discretion.  
    4. Business Email Service: You may query our database using your company’s employees’ or customers’ email addresses, anonymized at your discretion (by obscuring the first to fourth characters).
