(4) Investigate, establish, exercise, prepare for, or defend legal claims.
(5) Provide a product or service specifically requested by a consumer, perform a contract to which the consumer, or a parent of a child, is a party, including fulfilling the terms of a written warranty, or take steps at the request of the consumer or parent before entering into a contract.
(6) Take immediate steps to protect an interest that is essential for the life or physical safety of the consumer or of another individual, if the processing cannot be manifestly based on another legal basis.
(7) Prevent, detect, protect against, or respond to security incidents, identity theft, fraud, harassment, malicious or deceptive activities, or any illegal activity, investigate, report, or prosecute those responsible for any such action, and preserve the integrity or security of systems.
(8) Engage in public or peer reviewed scientific or statistical research that is in the public interest and that adheres to all applicable ethics and privacy laws and is approved, monitored, and governed by an institutional review board, or a similar independent oversight entity, that determines if:
(A) the information is likely to provide substantial benefits that do not exclusively accrue to the controller;
(B) the expected benefits of the research outweigh the privacy risks; and
(C) the controller has implemented reasonable safeguards to mitigate privacy risks associated with research, including any risks associated with re-identification.
(9) Assist another controller, processor, or third party with any obligation described in this section.
(b) Processing personal data for a purpose expressly identified in subsection (a)(1) through (a)(9) does not by itself make a person a controller with respect to such processing.
