Use of Automated decision-making and algorithmic tools
We may use automated decision making, and algorithmic tools for the performance of our contract with you, to fulfil our obligations or to improve our platforms and Services. For example:

You will not be subject to decisions that will have a significant impact on you based solely on automated decision-making, unless we have a lawful basis for doing so and we have notified you. If you want to object to this type of processing and exercise your rights, you can contact us via our privacy form. We will then proceed to reassess the situation and/or provide you with more information about why and how such an automated decision was made.

JET, as a globally operating company, has to take into account various local data retention requirements. We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we take into account the following criteria:
(i) the period required to serve the respective business purpose;
(ii) to the extent reasonably necessary to comply with an applicable legal requirement; or
(iii) as advisable in light of an applicable statute of limitations.
In the event the data falls into more than one retention terms category, the category with the longer retention requirement shall prevail, other requirements (such as access, security etc.) notwithstanding.
In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case we may use such information without further notice to you. If you have any questions on the way we retain your personal data you can contact us via our privacy form.
