Yes, you can ask the CFTC for access to records about yourself or individuals for whom you may serve as an authorized representative or legal guardian. You can also ask the CFTC to correct records that are inaccurate, incomplete, untimely, or irrelevant. However, when a system is exempt from certain sections of the Privacy Act, there may be limitations on the disclosure or amendment of records . Systems are exempt, for example, if disclosure of the records may compromise the effectiveness of the CFTC’s regulatory or enforcement program, or reveal the identity of a confidential source, as stated further below and in CFTC Rule Part 146.12, 17 C.F.R. § 146.12 .

Reasonable identification:
The CFTC requires you to submit reasonable identification to ensure that information and records are disclosed only to the proper person. “Reasonable identification” is proof of identity that the CFTC deems satisfactory based on the circumstances of a particular request. Please consider contacting the Privacy Office prior to submitting a request regarding what would be appropriate identification given the nature of your request. See 17 C.F.R. § 146.12 for examples of what the Commission has defined as “Reasonable identification”. The CFTC may contact you if additional information is needed to verify your identity.
These documents are included in [Identify the system of records where you believe the information is located with as much specificity as possible. Please refer to the CFTC’s summaries of the holdings of its systems of records .]
The CFTC will acknowledge receipt in writing within ten business days of receiving your request.

If further arrangements for access are necessary, you will receive information regarding the name, address, and telephone number of the relevant contact at the CFTC.
If the record is available, you may view a copy of the record at a CFTC office during regular working hours or you can request a copy of the record subject to fees for copying records .
