What is Personal Information?

"Personal Information" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person; an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person. Under specific laws, Personal Information may include any information relating to a household.

We will require certain Personal Information for you to use our Services or for us to be able to contact you. There may also be circumstances where providing Personal Information is optional and does not impact your access to Services.

The mobile applications provide an alternative option to register with a Facebook or Google account, and web applications may also offer your Twitter ID or Apple ID as a login option.

Cookies and comparable tracking technology

We (and the third-party service providers working on our behalf) use various technologies to collect Personal Information. This may include saving cookies to your device. For information on what cookies are, which ones we use, why we use them, and how you can manage their use, please see our Cookie Policy below.

Cookie Policy

Types of Cookies

As we explain in the Privacy Policy, a cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user’s computer for record-keeping purposes. When you visit or access the J+ website (“Site”) or J+ Products (together, the “Platform”), we (or certain third parties) may, by means of cookies, beacons, tags, scripts, and/or similar technologies, automatically collect technical information about the devices and software you use to access the Platform. This includes the type of Internet browser or mobile device you use, the website or source that linked or referred you to the Site, your IP address or device ID (or other persistent identifier that uniquely identifies your computer or mobile device on the Internet), the operating system of your computer or mobile device, and other similar technical information.

Why cookies?

By definition, a web server has no memory. Cookies help fill this void by telling the server what it knows so that the user doesn't have to remember or start navigating the site all over again. For this to happen, a hosted website you are visiting, such as our Site, transfers a cookie file of the browser on your computer’s hard drive in order to enable the website to remember who you are and your preferences. This message exchange allows the server to use this information to present you with customised pages. So, for example, instead of seeing just a generic welcome page you might see a welcome page with your name on it.

Cookies serve different purposes: some are necessary to ensure optimal performance of the Platform (i.e., ‘session’ or ‘strictly necessary’ cookies), while others provide information about the Platform so that we may perform analytics or suggest additional features (i.e., ‘analytics’ or ‘tracking’ cookies).

First and foremost, as explained above, cookies help our Site and the J+ Products work better so that you can have a flawless experience – like logging in easily, and moving from page to page, or from device to device, and basically allowing you to easily pick up where they left off.

Other cookies collect information about how visitors use our Platform – for instance, which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies don't collect information that identifies a visitor. All of the data that these cookies collect is aggregated and used to improve our Platform.

There are also cookies that collect information about your browsing habits in order to make advertising delivered to you more relevant to you and your interests. These are what we often call ‘tracking’ cookies. They are usually dropped by advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited our Site (and others) and this information is shared with other organisations such as advertisers.

Lastly, you should also know that when you use our Site, your device or browser may be sent cookies from third parties, for example when using embedded content and social network links. It's important for you to know that we have no access to or control over cookies used by these companies or third-party websites. We suggest you check the third-party websites for more information about their cookies and how to manage them.

Controlling Cookies

Most web and mobile device browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you prefer, you can set your browser to refuse cookies or to notify you each time a cookie is set. You can learn more about cookies by visiting www.allaboutcookies.org, which includes additional useful information on cookies and how to block cookies using different types of browsers or mobile devices. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of our Platform may become inaccessible or not function properly.

How we use your Personal Information

We use your Personal Information to operate our Services, deliver products, find and book charging stations, fulfill our contractual obligations in our service contracts with customers, to review and enforce adherence to our Terms, to analyze the use of the Services in order to understand how we can improve our content and service offerings and products, and for administrative and other business purposes. We process Personal Information for our business purposes, including sales leads, subscriptions services, payments, employee training, data analysis, security monitoring, auditing, research, and to comply with applicable laws, exercise legal rights, and meet tax and other regulatory requirements.

In this context, the legal basis for our processing of your Personal Information is either the necessity to perform contractual and other obligations, our legitimate business interest as a provider of services, regulatory requirements, or in some instances your explicit consent.

Sharing of Personal Information

We may share your Personal Information in the following circumstances:

Third-party Service Providers. We may share information we collect about you with third-party service providers to perform tasks on our behalf in supporting the Services. The types of service providers, or sub-processors, to whom we entrust Personal Information include: (i) payment providers; (ii) providers of hosting services; (iii) sales and marketing providers; (iv) providers of analytic data services; and (v) other services such as system support.
Regulatory Bodies, Agencies, and Law Enforcement. We may access and disclose your Personal Information to regulatory bodies if we have a good-faith belief that doing so is required under applicable law or regulation. This may include submitting Personal Information required by tax authorities. We may disclose your Personal Information in response to lawful requests by public authorities or law enforcement, including to meet security or law enforcement requirements. If we are going to release your Personal Information in this instance, our policy is to provide you with notice unless we are prohibited from doing so by law or court order.
Merger, Sale, or Other Asset Transfers. If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing due diligence, reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership, sale of company assets, or transition of service to another provider, then your Personal Information may be transferred as part of such a transaction as permitted by law and/or contract. Should such an event occur, J+ will endeavor to direct the transferee to use Personal Information in a manner that is consistent with the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such Personal Information was collected.
Other Disclosures. We may also disclose your Personal Information to exercise or defend legal rights; to take precautions against liability; to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Services, of any individuals, or of the general public; to maintain and protect the security and integrity of our services or infrastructure; to protect ourselves and our services from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful uses; or to investigate and defend ourselves against third-party claims or allegations. Disclosures may be made to courts of law, attorneys and law enforcement, or other relevant third parties in order to meet these purposes.
Please note that we share aggregated information and non-identifying information with third parties for industry research and analysis, demographic profiling, and other similar purposes. In addition, our Services may contain links to other websites not controlled by us, and these other websites may reference or link to our Services; we encourage you to read the privacy policies applicable to these other websites.

CCPA (For California Residents).

The categories of Personal Information we have disclosed about consumers for a business purpose in the preceding 12 months are:

Identifiers such as a real name, alias, postal address, email address, unique personal or online identifier, Internet Protocol address, or account name;
Debit card number, credit card number, and other financial information;
Products or services purchased, obtained, or considered; other purchasing or consuming histories or tendencies;
Internet or other electronic network activity information, including, browsing history, search history, and information regarding a consumer’s interaction with an internet website, or advertisement;
Geolocation data;
Visual information;
Professional or employment-related information; and
Inferences drawn from any of the information identified to create a profile about a consumer reflecting the consumer’s preferences, intelligence, abilities, and aptitudes.

Again, we do not sell Personal Information.

Retention of Personal Information

J+ retains Personal Information for a reasonable time period to fulfil the processing purposes mentioned above. Personal Information is then archived for time periods required or necessitated by law or legal considerations. When archival is no longer required, Personal Information is deleted from our records.

We retain your account information, including Personal Information in your profile, while your account is active. After termination or deactivation of your account, we delete your account as part of our standard delete function. If you participated in market research, your contribution becomes part of the market data is retained indefinitely, with data anonymized and aggregated.

We retain purchase information for a relevant time to align with warranties associated with the product. Please note we may retain information within our internal systems for backup, archival, audit, or other purposes.

We retain Personal Information that we are required to retain to meet our regulatory obligations including tax records and transaction history. We regularly review our retention policy to ensure compliance with our obligations under data protection laws and other regulatory requirements. We regularly audit our databases and archived information to ensure that Personal Information is only stored and archived in alignment with our retention policies.

Protection of Personal Information

J+ uses technical and organizational measures to protect the Personal Information that we store, transmit, or otherwise process, against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access. We regularly consider appropriate new security technology and methods as we maintain and develop our software and systems.

However, you should keep in mind that the Services are run on software, hardware, and networks, any component of which may, from time to time, require maintenance or experience problems or breaches of security beyond our control. Please also be aware that despite our best efforts to ensure the security of your data, we cannot guarantee that your information will be 100% secure.

Please recognize that protecting your Personal Information is also your responsibility. We urge you to take every precaution to protect your information when you are on the Internet, such as using a strong password, keeping your password secret, and using two-factor authentication.

International data transfer

Your Personal Information may be transferred to, and maintained on, computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction. If you are located outside the United States and choose to provide your Personal Information to us, we will transfer your Personal Information to the United States and process it there. Where we transfer your Personal Information, we will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your privacy rights continue to be protected.

In the case of transfers of data out of Europe, we have committed to comply with EU General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") as well as with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (“FADP”) and implement Standard Contractual Clauses as required. We endeavor to utilize third-party service providers from the United States that provide adequate protections that are compliant with the GDPR and the FADP such as implementing Standard Contractual Clauses or Binding Corporate Rules.

Our commitment to the privacy shield

J+ complies with the GDPR and the FADP regarding the collection, use, and retention of Personal Information transferred from the EEA and UK to the United States. If there is any conflict between the terms in this Privacy Policy and the GDPR, the GDPR shall govern.

If you have not received a timely or satisfactory response to your question or complaint, please contact one of the independent recourse mechanisms listed below:

EU Data Protection Authorities (“DPAs”)

https://ec.europa.eu/justice/article-29/structure/data-protection-authorities/index_en.htm.

Please note that this independent dispute resolution body is designated to address complaints and provide appropriate recourse free of charge to the individual.

Privacy rights

In compliance with the GDPR and the FADP, individuals have the right to access Personal Information and to correct, amend, restrict, or delete that information where it is inaccurate, or has been processed in violation of GDPR or FADP, except where the burden or expense of providing access is disproportionate to the risks to the individual's privacy in the case in questions, or where the rights of persons other than the individual will be violated.

If you have a J+ account, we rely upon you to keep your information up to date. You may edit your profile information at any time through your account settings. For email subscriptions, you may opt-out at any time by selecting the “Unsubscribe” link at the end of the email communication. Similarly, for email communication of a marketing nature, we provide the ability for you to unsubscribe directly from the email.

If you demonstrate the inaccuracy or incompleteness of Personal Information, J+ will amend the information as required. If appropriate, we will send the amended information to service providers to whom the information has been disclosed.

Where we rely upon consent as a legal basis for processing, you may withdraw your consent at any time. Please note the withdrawal of your consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before withdrawal.

Individuals in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland have certain rights that may be subject to limitations and/or restrictions. These rights include the right to: (i) request access to and rectification or erasure of their Personal Information; (ii) obtain restriction of processing or to object to processing of their Personal Information; and (iii) ask for a copy of their Personal Information to be provided to them, or a third party, in a digital format.

Comply with a legal obligation.

Exercising Rights under the CCPA

If you are a California resident, to exercise the rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by one of the following methods:

Emailing us at: hello@jplusbooster.com

Calling us at +1-706-802-2826

Only you, or, if you are a California resident, a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child. You may make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability only twice within a 12-month period.

To verify the identity of an individual making a request, a two-step process will need to be completed. A verifiable consumer request must:

Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
Separately provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.

Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will use Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request only to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Response Timing and Format

For verifiable requests made by California residents under the CCPA, we will endeavour to provide an initial response to a verifiable user request within 10 days of receipt and will attempt to fulfil a verifiable user request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.

Any disclosures we provide will cover only the 12-month period preceding our receipt of a verifiable user request. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable user request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against anyone for exercising any of their rights under this Policy or any applicable information privacy or data protection law. Unless otherwise permitted, we will not:

Deny you goods or services;
Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties;
Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services; or
Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

But if any part of our Services involves a financial transaction with you, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by applicable laws that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any financial incentive permitted under applicable law that we offer will reasonably relate to your personal information’s value and contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt-in consent, which you may revoke at any time. However, we do not currently provide any financial incentives.
