As I understand it, U.S. jurisdiction would only apply to children who live in the U.S. or one of the territories under its control. The sentence structure in that quote makes it pretty clear. The "under U.S. jurisdiction" is clearly describing the "persons or entities" collecting the information, not the children they are collecting it about.
