In the event that keeping the information is required for us or our service provider(s) to:
Perform as per our agreement with you, which includes completing the transaction for which we gathered the personal information, offering the service you requested, acting in a way that is reasonably expected given our continuing business relationship with you, and so forth.

- Participate in openly accessible or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that complies with all other relevant ethical and privacy laws, in cases where the removal of the information would probably make the research impossible or materially hinder its success if you had previously given informed consent.
- Permit only internal uses that, given your relationship with us, are logically consistent with what customers would expect.
- Fulfil a legal requirement.
- Utilize that information for additional internal, legal purposes that make sense given the circumstances in which you gave it.
Using the Rights to Access, Data Portability, and Deletion:
Please send us a verifiable consumer request using one of the following methods to exercise your rights to access, data portability, and deletion:
- We can be reached by phone at (631) 997-7300. Only you, or an authorized representative under law, may submit a verifiable consumer request regarding your personal information. For your minor child, you may also submit a verifiable consumer request.
- Within a 12-month period, you are limited to making two verifiable consumer requests for access or data portability.
- In order for us to reasonably confirm that you are the person about whom we are collecting personal information, or that you are an authorized representative, the verifiable consumer request must contain enough information.
- Please provide enough information about your request so that we can fully comprehend, assess, and handle it. If we are unable to confirm your identity or your authority to make the request, we will not be able to respond to your request or give you access to your personal information. You are not required to register for an account with us in order to submit a verifiable consumer request. Personal information submitted in a verifiable consumer request will only be used by us to confirm the identity or authorization of the requestor.
Time and Format of Response:
When a verifiable consumer request is received, we try to reply to it within forty-five (45) days. We will give you written notice of the reason and the extension period if we need more time—up to ninety days.
You can choose to receive our written response electronically or by mail.
Any disclosures we make will only be for the twelve months leading up to the receipt of the verified consumer request. If necessary, we will also provide an explanation in our response for why we are unable to fulfil a request. In response to requests for data portability, we will choose a format that makes your personal data easily accessible and should enable you to transfer the data without difficulty from one entity to another.
Except in cases where your verified consumer request is excessive, repetitive, or obviously unfounded, we do not charge a fee to process or respond to it. Before fulfilling your request, we will give you a cost estimate and explain our reasoning if we think the request calls for a fee.
Non-Discrimination:
You won’t face any discrimination from us if you use any of your CCPA rights. If not allowed by the CCPA, we won’t:
- refuse to provide you with any services
- charge you varying amounts for the services you receive, either by offering you incentives like discounts or other benefits or by enforcing penalties.
- offer you services at a different caliber or level.
- Make a suggestion that the amount or quality of the goods or services you receive may differ, as well as the price or rate at which you receive them.
