The FTC Act and other laws that the Commission administers permit the collection of public comments to consider and use in this proceeding as appropriate. The Commission will consider all timely and responsive public comments that it receives on or before September 16, 2015. You can find more information, including routine uses permitted by the Privacy Act, in the Commission’s privacy policy, at https://www.ftc.gov/ftc/privacy.htm. Analysis of Proposed Consent Order To Aid Public Comment The Federal Trade Commission (‘‘FTC’’ or ‘‘Commission’’) has accepted, subject to final approval, a consent agreement applicable to IOActive, Inc. (‘‘IOActive’’). The proposed consent order has been placed on the public record for thirty (30) days for receipt of comments by interested persons. Comments received during this period will become part of the public record. After thirty (30) days, the Commission will again review the agreement and the comments received, and will decide whether it should withdraw from the agreement and take appropriate action or make final the agreement’s proposed order. This matter concerns alleged false or misleading representations that the company made to consumers concerning its participation in the Safe Harbor privacy Framework agreed upon by the U.S. and the European Union (‘‘EU’’) (‘‘U.S.-EU Safe Harbor Framework’’). The U.S.-EU Safe Harbor Framework allows U.S. companies to transfer data outside the EU consistent with EU law. To join the U.S.-EU Safe Harbor Framework, a company must self-certify to the U.S. Department of Commerce (‘‘Commerce’’) that it complies with a set of principles and related requirements that have been deemed by the European Commission as providing ‘‘adequate’’ privacy protection. These principles include notice, choice, onward transfer, security, data integrity, access, and enforcement. Commerce maintains a public Web site, www.export.gov/ safeharbor, where it posts the names of VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:48 Aug 21, 2015 Jkt 235001 companies that have self-certified to the Safe Harbor Framework. The listing of companies indicates whether their selfcertification is ‘‘current’’ or ‘‘not current.’’ Companies are required to recertify every year in order to retain their status as current members of the Safe Harbor Framework. IOActive provides security consulting services. According to the Commission’s complaint, the company has set forth on its Web site, www.ioactive.com/privacypolicy.html, privacy policies and statements about its practices, including statements related to its participation in the U.S-EU Safe Harbor Framework. The Commission’s complaint alleges that IOActive falsely represented that it was a current participant in the U.S.-EU Safe Harbor Framework when, in fact, from May 2012 until May 2015, IOActive was not a ‘‘current’’ participant in the U.S.-EU Safe Harbor Framework. The Commission’s complaint alleges that in May 2009, IOActive submitted self-certification to the U.S.-EU Safe Harbor Framework and and its status was changed to ‘‘current’’ on Commerce’s Web site. IOActive did not renew its self-certification in May 2012 and Commerce subsequently updated IOActive’s status to ‘‘not current’’ on its public Web site. Part I of the proposed order prohibits IOActive from making misrepresentations about its membership in any privacy or security program sponsored by the government or any self-regulatory or standard-setting organization, including, but not limited to, the U.S.-EU Safe Harbor Framework. Parts II through VI of the proposed order are reporting and compliance provisions. Part II requires IOActive to retain documents relating to its compliance with the order for a fiveyear period. Part III requires dissemination of the order now and in the future to persons with responsibilities relating to the subject matter of the order. Part IV ensures notification to the FTC of changes in corporate status. Part V mandates that IOActive submit an initial compliance report to the FTC, and make available to the FTC subsequent reports. Part VI is a provision ‘‘sunsetting’’ the order after twenty (20) years, with certain exceptions. The purpose of this analysis is to facilitate public comment on the proposed order. It is not intended to constitute an official interpretation of the proposed complaint or order or to modify the order’s terms in any way.

Analysis of Proposed Consent Order To Aid Public Comment

    The Federal Trade Commission (``FTC'' or ``Commission'') has 
accepted, subject to final approval, a consent agreement applicable to 
Just Bagels Manufacturing, Inc. (``Just Bagels Manufacturing'').
    The proposed consent order has been placed on the public record for 
thirty (30) days for receipt of comments by interested persons. 
Comments received during this period will become part of the public 
record. After thirty (30) days, the Commission will again review the 
agreement and the comments received, and will decide whether it should 
withdraw from the agreement and take appropriate action or make final 
the agreement's proposed order.
    This matter concerns alleged false or misleading representations 
that Just Bagels Manufacturing made to consumers concerning its 
participation in the Safe Harbor privacy frameworks agreed upon by the 
U.S. and the European Union (``EU'') and the U.S. and Switzerland 
(collectively, Safe Harbor Frameworks''). The Safe Harbor Frameworks 
allow U.S. companies to transfer data outside the EU and Switzerland 
consistent with EU and Swiss law. To join the Safe Harbor Frameworks, a 
company must self-certify to the U.S. Department of Commerce 
(``Commerce'') that it complies with a set of principles and related 
requirements that have been deemed by the European Commission and 
Switzerland as providing ``adequate'' privacy protection. These 
principles include notice, choice, onward transfer, security, data 
integrity, access, and enforcement. Commerce maintains a public Web 
site, www.export.gov/safeharbor, where it posts the names of companies 
that have self-certified to the Safe Harbor Frameworks. The listing of 
companies indicates whether their self-certification is ``current'' or 
``not current.'' Companies are required to re-certify every year in 
order to retain their status as ``current'' members of the Safe Harbor 
Frameworks.
    Just Bagels Manufacturing is a wholesale bagel manufacturer that 
distributes bagels to restaurants, hotels, supermarkets, retail stores, 
airlines, and schools around the United States. According to the 
Commission's complaint, since at least January 2015, Just Bagels 
Manufacturing set forth on its Web site, https://www.justbagels.com/privacypolicy/, privacy policies and statements about its practices, 
including statements related to its participation in the U.S.-EU Safe 
Harbor Framework and the U.S.-Swiss Safe Harbor Framework.
    The Commission's complaint alleges that Just Bagels Manufacturing 
falsely represented that it was a participant in the U.S.-EU Safe 
Harbor Framework and the U.S.-Swiss Safe Harbor Framework when, in 
fact, Just Bagels Manufacturing was never a participant in the Safe 
Harbor Frameworks. Commerce has never included the company on its 
public Web site.

[[Page 51269]]

    Part I of the proposed order prohibits Just Bagels Manufacturing 
from making misrepresentations about its membership in any privacy or 
security program sponsored by the government or any other self-
regulatory or standard-setting organization, including, but not limited 
to, the U.S.-EU Safe Harbor Framework and the U.S.-Swiss Safe Harbor 
Framework.
    Parts II through VI of the proposed order are reporting and 
compliance provisions. Part II requires Just Bagels Manufacturing to 
retain documents relating to its compliance with the Order for a five-
year period. Part III requires dissemination of the order now and in 
the future to persons with responsibilities relating to the subject 
matter of the order. Part IV ensures the notification to the FTC of 
changes in corporate status. Part V mandates that Just Bagels

``sunsetting'' the order after twenty (20) years, with certain 
exceptions.

proposed order. It is not intended to constitute an official 
interpretation of the proposed complaint or order or to modify the 
order's terms in any way.
