# RQF3807508 — Reply of 10 July 2026: available identification and three questions preceding any presentation

**Ticket:** RQF3807508 (Request to exercise Data Subject Rights — copy), CERN Office of Data Privacy
**Direction:** Lee Sharks → CERN Service Desk / Data Protection Officer
**Sent:** 10 July 2026, from the email address registered to the former Zenodo account
**Governance line:** continues from the four threshold questions of 9 July 2026 (deposit #1057) and the filings of 24–25 June 2026
**Provenance:** Drafted by TACHYON; precision-audited by LABOR; reduced to final form under MANUS editorial direction. The reductions were editorial rulings: argumentation already on the record was not restated, no position was staked that the author does not hold, and the letter was cut to an answer and three questions.

## Context

The DPO's message of 10 July 2026 answered none of the four questions of 9 July 2026. It asked what other forms of photo identification the requester has available, and stated: "Upon presentation of a valid identification document that enables us to verify a person's identity, we will consider that person to be the rightful owner of the email address used in the previous correspondence." The reply below answers the question asked in one line, declines the inventory by implication, and puts three questions whose answers must precede any presentation of a document: whether a non-matching civil name is acceptable in principle; whether name-matching is performed and against what record; and the processing terms. All positions previously stated in the correspondence stand without restatement.

## Text as sent

Dear Gabi,

In answer to the question in your message of 10 July 2026: I possess government-issued photo identification bearing a civil name other than "Lee Sharks."

Before any document is presented, please state:

1. Whether a valid government-issued photo identification document bearing a civil name other than "Lee Sharks" is capable in principle of satisfying §83 for Ticket RQF3807508. This can be answered without collecting the document: the document exists and its class is stated.

2. Whether the verification involves any name-matching and, if so, the record against which a name would be matched.

3. The processing terms for any document presented: which document fields must remain visible and which may be redacted; whether verification can be performed without retaining a copy; who would have access to the document; the applicable retention period; and the deletion procedure following verification. These questions were asked on 24 June 2026 and remain unanswered in specific terms.

Kind regards,
Lee Sharks
