b.) Access to Information. If the above exceptions do not apply, and you have not made this request

more than twice in a 12-month period, you have the right to request that we disclose certain

information to you about our collection and use of your Personal Information over the past 12 months

you (also called a “Data Portability Request”).

Personal Information that we collect from you and retain, subject to certain exceptions. Once we

receive and verify your request, we will delete and direct our service providers to delete your Personal

Information from our records unless an exception applies. We may deny your deletion request if

retaining the Personal Information is necessary for us or our service providers to:

Information is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of such research if you

previously provided informed consent.

-Enable solely internal and lawful uses of such Personal Information that are compatible with the

context in which you provided it.

d.) Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights. To exercise the access, data portability,

deletion rights, or any other rights mentioned herein, a consumer or a consumer's authorized agent may

submit a verifiable request to us by using the contact details mentioned herein.

e.) Requests. You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability in

relation to this Section. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information if

we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal Information is

related to you.

Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only

use Personal Information provided via a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or

authority to make the request.

f.) Authorized Agent. An authorized agent is any person or legal entity registered with the Secretary of

State or similar office that you have authorized to act on your behalf. If a request is made by an

authorized agent acting on your behalf, we may require the following:

request on your behalf;

-For you to directly acknowledge, via electronic communication, that the authorized agent is allowed to

act on your behalf;

-Require the authorized agent to verify their identity; or

-For a power of attorney document to be submitted that is signed in accordance with state law.

We reserve the right to deny a request from an agent that does not submit proof that they have been

authorized by you to act on your behalf and cannot verify their own identity to us.

g.) Response Timing and Format. As required under privacy laws, we agree to respond to any

verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time, with a maximum of

90 days, we will inform you, in writing, of the reason. Such notification will be by e-mail unless there

is another preferred communication method provided.

If applicable, the response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request.

For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your Personal Information that is

readily useable and should allow you to transmit the Personal Information from one entity to another

entity without hindrance.

No fee will be charged to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request.

h.) Right of Non-Discrimination. We do not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights

in this Privacy Policy and under applicable laws. Unless permitted by law, we will not:
