We may allow you to use social media sites to create your account or link your account to the relevant social media site. These social media sites may provide us with automatic access to certain personal data they hold about you (e.g. content viewed by you, content liked by you, and information regarding the advertisements you have been shown or may have clicked on).

However, we are unable to verify visitors’ ages. We therefore advise parents and/or legal guardians to monitor their children's online activities, to prevent their personal data being collected without parental consent. If you feel that we have collected personal data of a minor without consent, please contact us. We will then proceed to erase this data.

In the performance of the contract with you, and/or to the extent necessary to fulfil our obligations or where necessary to improve our platforms and Services for our legitimate interest, JET uses automated decision making and profiling.
