Commitment to Data Privacy Protection

Protecting the security and privacy of your Personal Information is important to JIG and to the way We conduct Our business in compliance with laws on privacy, data protection and data security. The policy outlined below (the “Privacy Policy”) sets out what information (including Personal Information) JIG may collect, how JIG uses and safeguards that information and with whom we may share it.

By using the Website, you are deemed to accept and be bound by, and to consent to the processing and handling of your personal data and the use of Cookies as set out in this Privacy Policy. If you do not wish to be bound by this Privacy Policy, you should not attempt to access this Website.

Disclosing your Personal Information

To support Our relationship with you We may store and process Personal Information and share it with the JIG Member Companies (which can be found here) to better understand your business needs and how we can improve Our products and services.

We may disclose Personal Information to third parties if We are required to do so by law or to comply with a reasonable request from a law enforcement authority, to enforce or apply Our terms of use or other agreement with you, or to protect Our rights and property. We may also disclose Personal Information to third parties who are prospective sellers or buyers of any or all of Our business or assets.

We may link to third-party sites or offer third-party services via the Website. Information collected by third-party operators is governed by their own policies.

You may also be able to use the Website to send messages to other users and upload public content. Of course, once you provide this information to others, they will be able to access and use it, and content you upload may be publicly accessible over the Internet, so think carefully before disclosing any Personal Information or other information that could be used to identify you.

We may use this information and share it with the JIG Member Companies to measure the use of Our Website and improve its content.
