Data Protection

JRS welcomes your visit to our website and your interest in our company.

Data protection is a top priority at JRS. Therefore, we would like to inform you here about how we implement data protection regulations at JRS, what information we collect during your visit to our websites, and how it is used. First and foremost: Your data will be used exclusively for the following purposes and will not be used otherwise, e.g., for advertising purposes, without your consent.

II. Name and Address of the Data Protection Officer

Email: Datenschutzbeauftragter@jrs.de

III. General Information on Data Processing

We generally collect and use personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The collection and use of personal data of our users regularly takes place only with the user’s consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of data is permitted by legal provisions.

1. Legal Basis for the Processing of Personal Data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.

When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.

2. Data Deletion and Storage Period

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union law regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned norms expires, unless there is a necessity for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

IV. Provision of the Website and Creation of Log Files

1. Description and Scope of Data Processing

Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer.

The following data is collected:

• Information about the browser type and version used
• The user’s operating system
• The user’s internet service provider
• The user’s IP address
• Date and time of access
• Websites from which the user’s system accesses our website
• Websites accessed by the user’s system via our website.

The log files contain IP addresses or other data that allow assignment to a user. This could be the case, for example, if the link to the website from which the user accesses the internet page, or the link to the website to which the user switches, contains personal data.

The data is also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.

The user data collected in this way is pseudonymized by technical measures. Therefore, it is no longer possible to assign the data to the accessing user. The data is not stored together with other personal data of the users.

2. Legal Basis for Data Processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

3. Purpose of Data Processing

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the delivery of the website to the user’s computer. For this purpose, the user’s IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.

Storage in log files takes place to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data serves to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.

Our legitimate interest in data processing according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR also lies in these purposes.

4. Storage Duration

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of data collection for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.

5. Right to Object and Erasure

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the internet page. Consequently, there is no possibility for the user to object.

V. Use of Cookies

1. Description and Scope of Data Processing

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in the internet browser or by the internet browser on the user’s computer system. For data protection reasons, our website generally does not store cookies on the user’s computer. To use PHP sessions, only session cookies are used.

The session cookies used by Weblication are only stored in the browser’s main memory, meaning they are lost again after the browser is closed. This is also why you generally have to log in again after closing the browser. Visit data that must be persistently retained during a session includes, for example, form data, to display it again in case of incorrect entry. At the latest when the form is submitted, these are also deleted.

2. Legal Basis for Data Processing

The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

3. Purpose of Data Processing

The purpose of using necessary cookies is to simplify the use of websites for users and to facilitate website navigation.

Our legitimate interest in processing personal data according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR also lies in these purposes.

4. Storage Duration

Cookies are not stored on the user’s computer.

5. Evaluation using Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics also uses so-called cookies, which are text files stored on your computer that enable an analysis of your use of the website (cf. IV 1 – 4 above).

The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, we have activated the Google Analytics IP anonymization function on this website, so your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area beforehand. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.

Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

You can prevent the collection and transmission of the data generated by the cookies and related to your use of the website (incl. your IP address) to Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: Google Analytics Opt-Out.

An opt-out cookie will be set that prevents the future collection of your data when visiting this website.

Further information on the terms of use and data protection of Google Analytics can be found at www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/.

VI. Contact Form, Online Application, and Email Contact

1. Description and Scope of Data Processing

a.) Our website contains a contact form / application form that can be used for electronic contact. If a user takes advantage of this option, the data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to us and stored. This data includes:

• Salutation, First and Last Name
• Company
• Industry/Application Field
• Street, House Number, Postcode, City, and Country
• Phone
• Email
• Possible Salary Expectation
• Application Documents

At the time the message is sent, the following data is also stored:

• The user’s IP address
• Date and time of registration

For the processing of data, your consent is obtained during the submission process, and reference is made to this privacy policy.

b.) Alternatively, contact can be made via the provided email address. In this case, the personal data of the user transmitted with the email will be stored.

c.) No data is passed on to third parties. The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation or for the application procedure.

2. Legal Basis for Data Processing

a.) The legal basis for data processing, if the user’s consent is present, is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

b.) The legal basis for processing data transmitted in the course of sending an email is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If the email contact aims at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

3. Purpose of Data Processing

The processing of personal data from the input mask serves solely to process the contact. In the case of contact via email, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in processing the data.

The other personal data processed during the submission process serve to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

4. Storage Duration

a.) The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. For personal data from the contact form’s input mask and those transmitted via email, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is considered ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter concerned has been conclusively clarified.

b.) For personal data from the online application form and those submitted via email as an application, this is the case when the relevant application process is concluded and no legal objections are anticipated. By submitting the declaration of consent as part of the online application, you agree that we may store the applications for a period of 2 years to consider them for future vacancies.

Any additional personal data collected during the submission process will be deleted no later than seven days.

5. Right to Object and Erasure

Users have the right to withdraw their consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If a user contacts us via email, they can object to the storage of their personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued, or the application cannot be further considered.

Please send your withdrawal of consent and objection to storage via email to info@jrs.de or bewerbung@jrs.de, or in writing to our aforementioned company address.

All personal data stored during contact will be deleted in this case.

VII. Rights of the Data Subject

If your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller:

1. Right of Access

You can request confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed by us. If such processing exists, you can request information from the controller regarding the following:

1. the purposes for which the personal data is processed;
2. the categories of personal data being processed;
3. the recipients or categories of recipients to whom your personal data has been or will be disclosed;
4. the planned duration for which your personal data will be stored or, if specific information on this is not possible, the criteria for determining the storage period;
5. the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of your personal data, a right to restriction of processing by the controller, or a right to object to this processing;
6. the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;
7. all available information about the origin of the data if the personal data is not collected from the data subject;
8. the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Art. 22 (1) and (4) GDPR and – at least in these cases – meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.

You have the right to request information as to whether your personal data is transferred to a third country or an international organization. In this context, you can request to be informed about the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.

2. Right to Rectification

You have the right to obtain from the controller the rectification and/or completion of inaccurate or incomplete personal data concerning you. The controller must carry out the rectification without undue delay.

3. Right to Restriction of Processing

Under the following conditions, you can request the restriction of processing of your personal data:

1. if you contest the accuracy of your personal data for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
2. the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and instead request the restriction of their use;
3. the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but you require them for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or
4. if you have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override your grounds.

If the processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data may – apart from storage – only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.

If the processing has been restricted under the aforementioned conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

4. Right to Erasure

a) Obligation to Erase

You can request from the controller that your personal data be erased without undue delay, and the controller is obliged to erase this data without undue delay if one of the following reasons applies:

Your personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.

You withdraw your consent on which the processing is based pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR, and there is no other legal ground for the processing.

You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR.

Your personal data has been unlawfully processed.

The erasure of your personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.

Your personal data has been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Art. 8 (1) GDPR.

b) Information to Third Parties

If the controller has made your personal data public and is obliged pursuant to Art. 17 (1) GDPR to erase it, they shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, to inform controllers who are processing the personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data.

c) Exceptions

The right to erasure does not apply to the extent that processing is necessary

1. for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
2. for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
3. for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with Art. 9 (2) (h) and (i) as well as Art. 9 (3) GDPR;
4. for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 (1) GDPR, insofar as the right referred to in section a) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing, or
5. for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
   

5. Right to be Informed

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to communicate this rectification or erasure of data or restriction of processing to all recipients to whom your personal data has been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.

You have the right to be informed by the controller about these recipients.

6. Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to the controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data has been provided, provided that

1. the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR and
2. the processing is carried out by automated means.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to have your personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be adversely affected by this.

The right to data portability does not apply to processing of personal data that is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

7. Right to Object

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Art. 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions.

The controller shall no longer process your personal data unless they demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

Where personal data concerning you is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.

If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, your personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.

In the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you may exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

8. Right to Withdraw Data Protection Consent

You have the right to withdraw your data protection consent declaration at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

9. Automated Individual Decision-Making, Including Profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision

1. is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between you and the controller,
2. is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or
3. is based on your explicit consent.

However, these decisions shall not be based on special categories of personal data referred to in Art. 9 (1) GDPR, unless Art. 9 (2) (a) or (g) applies and suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests have been put in place.

In the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express their point of view and to contest the decision.

10. Right to Lodge a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR.

The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant on the progress and the outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR.

VIII. Use of Social Media Buttons

We use so-called social plugins (hereinafter referred to as buttons) of social networks such as Facebook and LinkedIn.

These buttons, if displayed on the website, do not yet establish contact with the servers of Facebook and LinkedIn. Only by clicking these buttons do you give your consent to communicate with Facebook and LinkedIn, and a connection is activated. The button remains active until you deactivate it again or delete your cookies. Further information on cookies can be found in our cookie policy.

After activation, a direct connection is established with the server of the respective social network. The content of the button is then transmitted directly from the social networks to your browser and integrated into the website by it.

After activating a button, the respective social network can already collect data, regardless of whether you interact with the button. If you are logged into a social network, it can assign your visit to this website to your user account.

If you are a member of a social network and do not want it to link the data collected during your visit to our website with your stored membership data, you must log out of the respective social network before activating the buttons.

We have no influence on the scope of the data collected by social networks with their buttons. For the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by the respective social networks, as well as your related rights and settings options for protecting your privacy, please refer to the privacy policies of the respective social networks.

IX. Our Social Media Presences

Data Processing by Social Networks

We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The social networks we use in detail can be found below.

Social networks such as Facebook, Google+, etc., can generally analyze your user behavior comprehensively when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g., like buttons or advertising banners). Visiting our social media presences triggers numerous data protection-relevant processing operations. In detail:

If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. However, your personal data may also be collected even if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, data collection occurs, for example, via cookies stored on your device or by recording your IP address.

With the help of the data thus collected, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. In this way, interest-based advertising can be displayed to you within and outside the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the respective social network, interest-based advertising can be displayed on all devices on which you are or were logged in.

Please also note that we cannot trace all processing operations on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, further processing operations may be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. For details, please refer to the terms of use and data protection regulations of the respective social media portals.

Legal basis

Our social media presence is intended to ensure the most comprehensive presence on the Internet. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal bases, which must be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g. consent within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR).

Controller and assertion of rights

When you visit one of our social media sites (e.g. Facebook), we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. You can assert your rights (access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and complaint) against us as well as against the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g. against Facebook).

Please note that despite the joint responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence on the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our options depend largely on the company policy of the respective provider.

Storage period

The data collected directly from us via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for its storage no longer applies, you request us to delete it, you revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

We have no influence on the storage period of your data that is stored by the operators of social networks for their own purposes. For details, please contact the operators of the social networks directly (e.g. in their privacy policy, see below).
