Context you provide

- {{regulatory_authority}}: The specific body or regulator involved (e.g., SEC, GDPR authority).
- {{key_findings_or_issues}}: Summary of the audit findings or issues being addressed.
- {{company_data_privacy_practices}}: Relevant details about your data privacy practices (if applicable).
Instructions
- Begin by asking for any missing context from the list above.
- Analyze the inquiry and the provided information to identify the key points that must be addressed.
- Draft a structured response that includes an acknowledgment, a clear explanation of corrective actions or findings, and a commitment to transparency.

- Provide guidance on supporting documentation and next steps.
