Your Rights and Choices

Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights

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. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you:

- the categories of personal information we collected about you,

- the categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you,

- our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information,

- the categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information

- the specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called a data portability request),

- if we sold your personal information, a list identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient purchased, and

- if we disclosed your personal information for a business purpose, a list identifying the personal information categories disclosed.

Deletion Request Rights

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, 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 pursuant to certain exceptions provided in the CCPA, including to take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, to comply with legal obligations, or to make other internal and lawful uses of your person information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it. The response we provide will explain the reason for denying your request.

Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights

To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:

- calling us at 631-536-6333, or

- visiting excelsis.com/contact us.

Only you or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

- provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are either the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative of that person, and

- describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

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 that the personal information relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us.

Response Timing and Format

We will endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time (we may take up to 45 additional days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. 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 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. Unless permitted by the CCPA, your exercise of your CCPA rights will not result in us:

- denying you services,

- charging you different prices or rates for services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties,

- providing you a different level or quality of services, or

- suggesting that you may receive a different price or rate for services or a different level or quality of services.
