What are the legal bases for processing Personal Information?

Our processing of such Personal Information is carried out pursuant to the following legal bases:

• Perform a contract. We may process your Personal Information to administer and fulfill contractual obligations to you. We will also collect and process your Personal Information as necessary for the performance of a contract.
• Comply with legal obligations. We may process your Personal Information to comply with legal obligations to which we are subject. This may include any requirement to produce audited accounts, any legal obligation to share information with law enforcement agencies, public or governmental authorities, and to comply with legal processes.
• Our legitimate interests. We have a legitimate interest in carrying out the processing activity. For example, we have a legitimate interest to process your Personal Information to carry out fraud prevention activities and activities to increase network and information security, identify usage trends, determine the effectiveness of promotional campaigns, expand our business activities and improve our services and the content and functionality of our Services. Our legitimate interests also include providing you with the products and services you request, view, engage with, or purchase and communicating with you regarding your account or transactions with us. Generally, the legitimate interest pursued by us in relation to our use of your Personal Information is the efficient performance or management of (i) your use of our Services, and/or (ii) our business relationship with you. Where we rely on our legitimate interest for a given purpose, we are of the opinion that our legitimate interest is not overridden by your interests and rights or freedoms, given (a) the regular reviews and related documentation of the processing activities described herein, (b) the protection of your Personal Information by our data privacy processes, (c) the transparency we provide on the processing activity, and (d) the rights you have in relation to the processing activity.
• Consent. You have consented to the use of your Personal Information. After you consent, you can change your mind at any time.

Personal Information Transfers

JM is a global group of companies headquartered in the United States. As JM operates at a global level, we may need to transfer Personal Information to other countries outside of your home country. For example, Personal Information about you that you provide while in the EU, an EEA member state, Switzerland, or the UK may be transferred to the United States. The United States does not have adequacy decisions or adequacy regulations. The GDPR permits such transfers when necessary for the performance of a contract between you and JM, if we obtain your explicit consent to such transfer, or if it is in our legitimate interest to transfer the Personal Information. The laws in the United States may not be as protective as the GDPR or the laws of other jurisdictions where you may be located.

If we transfer Personal Information from the EU, EEA, or UK or another country with cross-border transfer obligations, we will provide an appropriate safeguard, such as using European Commission-approved Standard Contractual Clauses or with your consent. For example, JM’s US company and its EU subsidiaries have entered into an intercompany agreement incorporating the Standard Contractual Clauses. The intercompany agreement sets forth the legal requirements for JM’s use of Personal Information and describes the technical and organizational measures JM uses to protect and secure Personal Information. To obtain a copy of the safeguard(s), please contact us using the information provided in the “Contact Us” section above.

EEA and UK Resident Rights

As an EEA or UK resident, you may ask us to take the following actions in relation to your Personal Information that we hold, subject to certain conditions:

• Right of Access: You can ask for confirmation as to whether or not Personal Information concerning you is being processed, and, where that is the case, access to the Personal Information.
• Right to Rectification: You have the right to obtain from us the rectification of inaccurate Personal Information concerning you.
• Right to Erasure: Under certain circumstances, you have the right to obtain from us the erasure of Personal Information concerning you.
• Right to Restriction of Processing: Under certain circumstances, you can ask us to restrict the processing of your Personal Information.
• Right to Data Portability: Under certain circumstances, you have the right to receive Personal Information concerning you in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and have the right to transmit those data to another controller.

To exercise your GDPR rights, please fill out this form and submit. Or, you can email privacy@jm.com or by toll-free phone at 1-866-256-1943. We may request specific information from you to help confirm your identity prior to processing your request.

Note that these rights are subject to exceptions under the GDPR and applicable local laws. For example, access to your data may be refused if making the information available would reveal Personal Information about another person or if we are legally prevented from disclosing such information. If we decline your request, we will tell you why, subject to legal restrictions.

If you believe that the processing of your Personal Information violates the GDPR and/or other data protection laws, you may also lodge a complaint to the competent supervisory authority without prejudice to other legal remedies.

You can find more information about your data protection regulator here.
