CALIFORNIA CUSTOMER PRIVACY RIGHTS

If you are a resident of California, Colorado, Nevada or Virginia, you have certain privacy rights under the applicable privacy laws in your state (“State Privacy Laws”). This section describes those rights and how you can exercise them with JBT.

Right to Opt out of the Sale and Sharing of Personal Information

Residents of California, Colorado and Virginia have the right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of their personal data, as such terms are defined under State Privacy Laws.

Under California law, “share” means disclosing your personal information by us to a third party for cross-context behavioral advertising, in exchange for money or anything else of value. Thus, when we use the term “share” under this section, we are using it in the narrow meaning of how it is defined under California law. Other State Privacy Laws do not use the term “share,” but describe the concept as using personal information for targeted advertising.

Under the laws of California and Colorado, “sell” means exchanging your personal information by us with a third party for money or anything else of value. Under Virginia law, “sell” is the exchange of personal information for money only.

Currently, we participate in digital advertising networks to deliver advertising that is tailored to your interests. The participation in certain ad networks can constitute a “sale” or “sharing” of personal data under State Privacy Laws. The categories of third parties to whom information may be disclosed in this context is our third party partners (e.g., advertisers and marketing partners and data analytics providers). 

We may “sell” the following categories of Personal Information:

  • Online Identifiers
  • Geolocation information;
  • Internet/electronic activity;
  • Commercial information; and
  • Inferences drawn from the categories described above in order to create a profile about you to reflect your preferences, characteristics, preferences, behavior and attitudes.

You can opt-out of being tracked by these third parties by clicking HERE or the “DO NOT SELL OR SHARE MY PERSONAL INFORMATION” link at the bottom of our website.

You can also opt-out  by broadcasting an Opt-Out Preference Signal, such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC) (on the browsers and/or browser extensions that support such a signal).  Note that we will only apply the request to that specific device or browser and only for cookie or pixel based selling and sharing.  Thus, you will need to opt out on each browser and device where you use our services. If you clear your cookie history on a particular browser or device, your opt out request will no longer be saved.

To learn more about these advertising practices or to opt out of this type of advertising of your personal data, please visit https://optout.aboutads.info/ and https://www.networkadvertising.org/ to opt-out. You can also opt out of the re-sale of your personal data by other participants in these digital advertising networks by visiting this site and opting out of each participant’s digital property.

Please note that, otherwise, JBT does not presently exchange Personal Information for money with anyone, nor does JBT otherwise share Personal Information within the meaning of “sale.”  Also, JBT does not currently disclose Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.

Consumer Privacy Requests

If you are a resident of California, Colorado or Virginia, you have legal rights in addition to the choices listed above.  These rights include the following: 

  1. Access:  to learn the categories of information we collect and use, and for those in California, the categories of sources of collection and disclosure and the business purpose for collection;
  2. Portability: a copy of (Virginia) or specific pieces of (California) personal information collected;
  3. Deletion: to have us delete information we collected from you;
  4. Correction: asking us to fix your information; and
  5. Non-retaliation: not to be discriminated against for exercising one or more of these rights.

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 may not delete all of your personal information if one of the following exceptions applies:

  • Transactional: to complete a transaction for which the personal information was collected, provide a good or service requested by you, or perform a contract we have with you;
  • Security: to detect data security incidents;
  • Error Correction: to debug or repair any errors;
  • Legal: to protect against fraud or illegal activity or to comply with applicable law or a legal obligation, or exercise rights under the law, such as the right to free speech; or
  • Internal Use: to use your personal information, internally, in a lawful manner that is compatible with the context in which you provided the information (i.e. to improve our services).

Please note that if we delete your personal information, many of our services will not work the same. For example, your previous opt out requests will not be saved, you will not have an account, and any saved preferences and information will no longer be available.

To submit a request to access, delete, correct or portability, please send us an email at [email protected]. You must use “Consumer Privacy Request” in the subject line of your email. Alternatively, you may call use toll free at 1-866-973-0846.  In order to verify your identity, we will request you to provide contract identification number, or similar data known only to you. To designate an authorized agent to act on your behalf, you must send a signed, written authorization containing your and the authorized agent’s name, email address, phone number, and address. You must also note what requests the authorized agent is able to make (i.e. deletion requests). We cannot respond to your request, or one made on your behalf, if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request.  If you wish to make multiple requests under this section, we recommend sending the deletion request last, as we will not be able to fulfill your other requests once we have deleted your information. Note that we may also maintain a record of your Consumer Privacy Request.

Right to Limit Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information

If you are a California resident, you have a right to limit the processing of your Sensitive Personal Information (as defined by California law).  We do not collect or process any Sensitive Personal Information.

Right to Appeal

If you are a Virginia or Colorado resident and we were unable to fulfill your request, you may appeal our request by emailing us at [email protected] within fourteen days of our decision, and provide a detailed reason for your appeal, as well as your state of residence. 

Notice to Nevada Residents/Your Nevada Privacy Rights With respect to Nevada SB220’s amendment of the Nevada Privacy of Information Collected on the Internet from Consumers Act, JBT. does not sell for monetary consideration the personal information of Nevada consumers for the purpose of resale to other entities.

SECURITY

We use physical, technical, and procedural security safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of personal information to protect it from loss or theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification. These safeguards include physical measures, such as restricted access to offices and equipment, organizational measures, such as security clearances, and publishing this policy to appropriate personnel with instructions to act in accordance with its principles (for example, limiting access on a “need to know” basis), and technological measures, such as the use of passwords and/or encryption. However, no data transmission over the internet or other network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.  As a result, while we strive to protect information, we cannot and do not guarantee the security of any information you transmit on or through the services, and you do so at your own risk.

Further public disclosure here of our security measures could aid those who might attempt to circumvent those security measures. If you have additional questions regarding security, please feel free to contact us directly at [email protected]. To ensure that our employees comply with our privacy policies, we provide employees with the tools and knowledge to protect the personal information they may handle. Any employee who violates our privacy policies is subject to disciplinary action, including possible termination and civil and/or criminal prosecution.

RESPONSE TO “DO NOT TRACK” SIGNALS

Some Internet browsers include the ability to transmit “Do Not Track” signals. Since uniform standards for “Do Not Track” signals have not yet been adopted, JBT does not process or respond to “Do Not Track” signals and JBT may continue to collect information in the manner described in this Privacy Policy. You can learn more about “Do Not Track” signals at https://allaboutdnt.com.
