These additional disclosures and rights apply only to personal data we receive from individuals located in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom (collectively, “Europe”). Terms have the meaning ascribed to them in the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”).

Data Controller

JLG acts as a controller with respect to personal data collected as you interact with our Service.

Data protection laws in Europe require a “lawful basis” for processing personal data. Our lawful bases include where: (a) you have given consent to the processing for one or more specific purposes, either to us, our Service Providers, our partners, or our clients; (b) processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you; (c) processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation; or (d) processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or a third party, and your interests and fundamental rights and freedoms do not override those interests.

JLG complies with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (“EU-U.S. DPF”), the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (“Swiss-U.S. DPF”) (together, the “DPF”) as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce. JLG has certified to the U.S. Department of Commerce that it adheres to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles (“EU-U.S. DPF Principles”) with regard to the processing of personal data received from the European Union in reliance on the EU-U.S. DPF and from the United Kingdom (and Gibraltar) in reliance on the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF. JLG has certified to the U.S. Department of Commerce that it adheres to the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles (“Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles”) with regard to the processing of personal data received from Switzerland in reliance on the Swiss-U.S. DPF. If there is any conflict between the terms in this privacy policy and the EU-U.S. DPF Principles and/or the Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles, the Principles shall govern. The Federal Trade Commission has jurisdiction over JLG’s compliance with the EU-U.S. DPF, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. DPF.

JLG’s responsibility for personal data it receives in reliance on the DPF and subsequent transfers of personal data to third parties is detailed in the DPF Principles. Where JLG relies on the DPF Principles for onward transfers from the EU, UK, and Switzerland, including the onward transfer liability provisions, JLG remains responsible under the DPF Principles for third-party agents processing personal data on its behalf.

In the event that you have any inquiry, dispute, or claim arising out of or relating to our reliance on the DPF, please contact us as set out in the “Contact Us” section below. If we are unable to resolve your complaint regarding personal data transferred in reliance on the DPF directly, you may submit your complaint at no cost to you to JAMS at https://www.jamsadr.com/DPF-Dispute-Resolution. In the event there are residual complaints regarding personal data transferred in reliance on the DPF that have not been resolved by JAMS, or any other means, you may seek a non-monetary remedy through binding arbitration to be provided to you in accordance with the DPF.

To learn more about the DPF, and to view JLG’s certification, please visit https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/.
