You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request (see “Exercising Access, Data Portability, Deletion and Correction Rights” below), we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our (and service provider) records, unless an exception applies.

We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:

• Comply with a legal obligation.
• Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

Exercising Access, Data Portability, Deletion and Correction Rights.

To exercise the access, data portability, deletion and correction rights described above, you should submit a verifiable consumer request to us by one of the following methods:

• Emailing us here: Privacy@ampacet.com

• Accessing your online account that you maintain with us, if the Website then has such account functionality available.

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of a minor child for whom you are a parent or legal guardian.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a twelve (12) month period. The verifiable consumer request must provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify that you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative, which may include:

• Your name
• Your address
• Additional information depending upon the type of request and the sensitivity of the information involved with such request

We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Response Timing and Format

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.

For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily usable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights.

Retention of Personal Information

Our policy is to retain personal information only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the reason for which the personal information was collected and as necessary to process such personal information. In addition to the above, we will retain your personal information for the purposes of satisfying any professional or legal reporting requirements to which we are subject. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the scope, nature and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the personal information, the purposes for which we collected and processed your personal information and whether we can reasonably achieve those purposes through other means, as well as any applicable legal and professional requirements.

Your EU Privacy Rights

Persons who are residents of any of the member countries of the European Union (“EU”) or are other data subjects covered by the GDPR have certain additional privacy rights under applicable law. The following provisions of this Privacy Policy provide an overview of these additional rights.

Legal Bases for Processing Personal Information

When processing your personal information, we may rely on one or more of the following legal bases (or other available legal grounds), depending on the circumstances:

• Legitimate Interests. We may process your personal information where we have a legitimate interest in such processing for managing, operating or promoting our business, and that legitimate interest is not overridden by your interests, fundamental rights or freedoms.

• Contractual Necessity. We may process your personal information where such processing is necessary in connection with any contract that we have with you.
• Legal Requirements. We may process your personal information where such processing is required by applicable law.

Disclosures to Third Parties

Your personal information will not be disclosed to third parties except for where it is necessary for fulfillment of our obligations to you or where we are obliged or permitted to do so by law (including, without limitation, through the terms of any agreement we may have with you), or where we make disclosures that are otherwise consistent with the uses described in this Policy.

We may also disclose any information (including personal information) relating to you to law enforcement authorities or any regulatory or government authority in response to any request including requests in connection with the investigation of any suspected illegal activities.

We reserve the right to transfer any personal information that we have about you in the event we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets, or merge with another organization. Should such a sale, transfer or merger occur, we will use reasonable efforts seeking to require that the transferee uses personal information you have provided to us in a manner that is consistent with this Policy.

We will not sell, resell or lease your personal information to any third parties but we may, if required for the purpose(s) for which your personal information was collected and processed, share it with our partners and/or service providers to enable them to provide their services to us or to you, as applicable. The foregoing are in addition to the other uses described elsewhere in this Policy.

Security of Personal Information of EU Residents

We have policies and technical and organizational measures in place which are intended to safeguard and protect your personal information against unauthorized access, accidental loss, improper use and disclosure. However, you should be aware that information transmitted over the internet is not completely secure because of the nature of the internet and that systems and measures used to secure information are not flawless. For these reasons, although we will use reasonable efforts to protect your personal information, we do not warrant the security of personal information transmitted to us or stored by us, and personal information that is transmitted to us by you electronically is done at your own risk.

Retention of Personal Information of EU Residents

Our policy is to retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected such personal information, including for the purposes of satisfying any professional, legal, accounting or reporting requirements to which we are subject. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the scope, nature and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the personal information, the purposes for which we collected and processed your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and any applicable legal and professional requirements.

Your Rights as an EU Resident

• Right of Access. You have the right to be informed about what personal information we hold about you and to a copy of this personal information.

• Right to Restriction. You have the right to request that we stop using your personal information in certain circumstances including if you believe that the personal information that we hold about you is inaccurate or that our use of your personal information is unlawful. If you validly exercise this right, we will store your personal information and will not carry out any other processing until the issue is resolved.

You may exercise any of the above requests, and you may at any time request that we stop using your personal information for marketing purposes, in each case by writing to us by email through our GDPR Contact Form, or by regular mail at Ampacet Corporation, 660 White Plains Road, Tarrytown, NY  10591.
