EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and UK Extension to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework

In this section, "Itron" refers only to Itron, Inc., the Itron entity that may receive in the United States of America and process personal data from the EU and the United Kingdom (UK).

Itron complies with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework ("EU-U.S. DPF"), and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce ("Department"). Itron has certified to the Department that it adheres to the EU-U.S. DPF and the UK Extension to the DPF Principles with regard to the processing of personal data received from the European Union in reliance on the EU-U.S. DPF and from the United Kingdom (and Gibraltar) in reliance on the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF. If there is any conflict between the terms of this Privacy Notice and the EU-U.S. DPF Principles and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF Principles ("Principles"), the Principles shall govern. To learn more about the Data Privacy Framework (DPF), and to view our certification, please visit www.dataprivacyframework.gov/.

In compliance with the EU-U.S. DPF and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, Itron commits to resolve DPF Principles-related complaints about our collection and use of your personal information. EU and UK individuals with inquiries or complaints regarding our handling of personal data received in reliance on the EU-U.S. DPF and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF should first contact Itron's Global Privacy Office.

The Federal Trade Commission has jurisdiction over Itron's compliance with the EU-U.S. DPF and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF.

In certain situations, Itron may be required to disclose personal information in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to satisfy national security or law enforcement requirements.

Itron may share EU Data and UK Data with a third-party service provider that processes the data solely on Itron's behalf for the legitimate business purposes previously discussed. For onward transfers, Itron is responsible for processing personal information it receives under the EU-U.S. DPF and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF and subsequently transfers to a third party acting as an agent on its behalf. Itron shall remain liable under the Principles if its agent processes such personal information in a manner inconsistent with the Principles, unless Itron proves that it is not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.

In compliance with the EU-U.S. DPF and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, Itron commits to refer unresolved complaints concerning our handling of personal data received in reliance on the EU-U.S. DPF and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF to JAMS, an alternative dispute resolution provider based in the United States. If you do not receive timely acknowledgment of your DPF Principles-related complaint from us, or if we have not addressed your DPF Principlesrelated complaint to your satisfaction, please visit https://www.jamsadr.com/DPF-DisputeResolution for more information or to file a complaint. The services of JAMS are provided at no cost to you.

Your Rights Under the EU-U.S. DPF and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF: Binding Arbitration Option

At Itron, we respect your rights regarding the protection of your personal data. As part of the EUU.S. DPF and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, we offer you the opportunity to invoke binding arbitration under certain conditions. The binding arbitration option described below applies to certain "residual" claims as to data covered by the EU-U.S. DPF and the UK Extension to the DPF. The purpose of this option is to provide a prompt, independent, and fair mechanism, at the option of individuals, for resolution of any claimed violations of the Principles not resolved by any of the other EU-U.S. DPF and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF mechanisms.

1. Scope

This arbitration option is available to an individual to determine, for residual claims, whether a participating organization has violated its obligations under the Principles as to that individual, and whether any such violation remains fully or partially unremedied. This option is available only for these purposes. This option is not available, for example, with respect to the exceptions to the Principles or with respect to an allegation about the adequacy of the EU-U.S. DPF and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF.

2. Available Remedies

Under this arbitration option, the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF Panel, the arbitration panel consisting of one or three arbitrators, as agreed by the parties, has the authority to impose individual-specific, non-monetary equitable relief (such as access, correction, deletion, or return of the individual's data in question) necessary to remedy the violation of the Principles only with respect to the individual. These are the only powers of the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and the Extension to the UK EU-U.S. DPF Panel with respect to remedies. In considering remedies, the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Panel and the Extension to the UK EU-U.S. DPF is required to consider other remedies that already have been imposed by other mechanisms under the EU-U.S. DPF and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF. No damages, costs, fees, or other remedies are available. Each party bears its own attorney's fees.

3. Pre-Arbitration Requirements

An individual who decides to invoke this arbitration option must take the following steps prior to initiating an arbitration claim: (1) raise the claimed violation directly with the organization and afford the organization an opportunity to resolve the issue within the timeframe set forth in section (d)(i) of the Supplemental Principle on Dispute Resolution and Enforcement; (2) make use of the independent recourse mechanism under the Principles, at no cost to the individual; and (3) raise the issue through the individual's DPA to the Department and afford the Department an opportunity to use best efforts to resolve the issue within the timeframes set forth in the Letter from the Department's International Trade Administration, at no cost to the individual.

4. Binding Nature of Decisions

This arbitration option may not be invoked if the individual's same claimed violation of the Principles (1) has previously been subject to binding arbitration; (2) was the subject of a final judgment entered in a court action to which the individual was a party; or (3) was previously settled by the parties. In addition, this option may not be invoked if a DPA (1) has authority under the Supplemental Principle on the Role of the Data Protection Authorities or the Supplemental Principle on Human Resources Data; or (2) has the authority to resolve the claimed violation directly with the organization. A DPA's authority to resolve the same claim against an EU data controller does not alone preclude invocation of this arbitration option against a different legal entity not bound by the DPA authority.

An individual's decision to invoke this binding arbitration option is entirely voluntary. Arbitral decisions will be binding on all parties to the arbitration. Once invoked, the individual forgoes the option to seek relief for the same claimed violation in another forum, except that if non-monetary equitable relief does not fully remedy the claimed violation, the individual's invocation of arbitration will not preclude a claim for damages that is otherwise available in the courts.

5. Review and Enforcement

Individuals and participating organizations will be able to seek judicial review and enforcement of the arbitral decisions pursuant to U.S. law under the Federal Arbitration Act. Any such cases must be brought in the federal district court whose territorial coverage includes the primary place of business of the participating organization.

This arbitration option is intended to resolve individual disputes, and arbitral decisions are not intended to function as persuasive or binding precedent in matters involving other parties, including in future arbitrations or in EU, UK, or U.S. courts, or FTC proceedings.

6. The Arbitration Panel

The parties will select arbitrators for the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF Panel from the list of arbitrators discussed below.

Consistent with applicable law, the Department and the Commission will develop a list of at least 10 arbitrators, chosen on the basis of independence, integrity, and expertise. The following shall apply in connection with this process:

Arbitrators:

(1) will remain on the list for a period of 3 years, absent exceptional circumstances or removal for cause, renewable by the Department, with prior notification to the Commission, for additional 3-year terms;

(2) shall not be subject to any instructions from, or be affiliated with, either party, or any participating organization, or the U.S., UK, EU, or any EU Member State or any other governmental authority, public authority, or enforcement authority; and

(3) must be admitted to practice law in the United States and be experts in U.S. privacy law, with expertise in EU data protection law.

The Department and the Commission have agreed, consistent with applicable law, to the adoption of arbitration rules that govern proceedings before the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF Panel.

7. Arbitration Procedures

1. An individual may initiate binding arbitration, subject to the pre-arbitration requirements provision above, by delivering a "Notice" to the organization. The Notice shall contain a summary of steps taken under Paragraph C to resolve the claim, a description of the alleged violation, and, at the choice of the individual, any supporting documents and materials and/or a discussion of law relating to the alleged claim.
2. Procedures will be developed to ensure that an individual's same claimed violation does not receive duplicative remedies or procedures.
3. FTC action may proceed in parallel with arbitration.
4. No representative of the U.S., EU, or any EU Member State or any other governmental authority, public authority, or enforcement authority may participate in these arbitrations, provided, that at the request of an EU individual, DPAs may provide assistance in the preparation only of the Notice but DPAs may not have access to discovery or any other materials related to these arbitrations.
5. The location of the arbitration will be the United States, and the individual may choose video or telephone participation, which will be provided at no cost to the individual. In-person participation will not be required.
6. The language of the arbitration will be English unless otherwise agreed by the parties. Upon a reasoned request, and taking into account whether the individual is represented by an attorney, interpretation at the arbitral hearing, as well as translation of arbitral materials will be provided at no cost to the individual, unless the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF Panel finds that, under the circumstances of the specific arbitration, this would lead to unjustified or disproportionate costs.
7. Materials submitted to arbitrators will be treated confidentially and will only be used in connection with the arbitration.
8. Individual-specific discovery may be permitted if necessary, and such discovery will be treated confidentially by the parties and will only be used in connection with the arbitration.
9. Arbitrations should be completed within 90 days of the delivery of the Notice to the organization at issue, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties.

8. Costs

Arbitrators should take reasonable steps to minimize the costs or fees of the arbitrations.

The Department will, consistent with applicable law, facilitate the maintenance of a fund, to which participating organizations will be required to contribute, based in part on the size of the organization, which will cover the arbitral cost, including arbitrator fees, up to maximum amounts ("caps"). The fund will be managed by a third party, which will report regularly to the Department on the operations of the fund. The Department will work with the third party to periodically review the operation of the fund, including the need to adjust the amount of the contributions or of the caps on the arbitral cost, and consider, among other things, the number of arbitrations and the costs and timing of the arbitrations, with the understanding that there will be no excessive financial burden imposed on participating organizations. The Department will notify the Commission of the outcome of such reviews with the third party and will provide the Commission with prior notification of any adjustments of the amount of the contributions. Attorney's fees are not covered by this provision or any fund under this provision.

Security and Retention

Itron is committed to setting appropriate standards for the quantity and quality of personal data it processes and takes reasonable physical, technical, and administrative measures and contractually requires our suppliers, vendors, consultants, or other service providers to help protect information about you from loss, theft, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.

We retain your personal information for as long as we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so, and in accordance with applicable statute of limitation periods, laws, our internal records management policy and retention schedule, and the terms of this Privacy Notice.

The criteria used to determine appropriate retention periods for personal information include:

• the length of time we have an ongoing business relationship with you;
• the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information we process; or
• whether legal obligation to retain personal information applies or whether retaining personal information is necessary to resolve disputes, including the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

Different types of information may be subject to different retention periods. For example, once a user account is deleted, the personal information associated with the account login credentials would also be deleted, but information related to an active order may be retained for longer periods due to other legal or compliance obligations.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you are located and how you interact with Itron, you may have certain legal rights over the personal information we hold about you, such as how we use the information and how we communicate with you.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to obtain a copy of your data in a structured, commonly used, and readily usable format.

Right to Withdraw your Consent

You may unsubscribe from our promotional communications or mailing lists by following the "Unsubscribe" link in our emails, or by emailing webinquiry@itron.com.
