You can provide the information, tell the consent authority you agree to provide it, or tell them you refuse to provide it. You must tell the consent authority in a written notice if you agree or refuse to provide the information.

If you agree to provide the information, the consent authority will tell you when you must give it to them. They will set a reasonable time for you to provide the information and tell you the date by which you must do so.
