The processing of your personal data takes place exclusively on the basis of the following legal grounds: 

Consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR

“the data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes”

Performance of a contract and pre-contractual requests pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR

Art. 88 GDPR, Section 26 of the new German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG-neu)

Data processing in the employment context or data processing for the purposes of the employment relationship

Transfer to third parties and third countries

As a matter of principle, your data remains within our company. The transfer or disclosure of your personal data to a third party only takes place 

  • on the basis of a statutory authorisation,
  • with your consent,
  • where we are legally obliged to do so, or
  • on the basis of a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(f) GDPR.

Insofar as we use external service providers as processors, they are obliged by contracts pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR to process personal data exclusively in accordance with our instructions and to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the rights of data subjects.

As a matter of principle, your personal data is not transferred directly to third countries (outside the European Union or the European Economic Area). The tools, software solutions and service providers we use are generally based in the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA). In individual cases, however, data may indirectly reach third countries outside the EU/EEA via parent companies or affiliated companies.

In such cases, we ensure that a transfer only takes place subject to the following conditions:

  • an adequacy decision of the EU Commission exists for the country concerned,
  • appropriate safeguards within the meaning of Art. 46 GDPR exist, e. g. standard contractual clauses,
  • the country offers an adequate level of protection pursuant to Art. 45 et seq. GDPR, or
  • one of the derogations under Art. 49 GDPR applies.

In this way, we ensure that your personal data remains protected as effectively as possible even in the event of such a transfer.

Duration of storage

Your personal data is routinely deleted, or its processing restricted or blocked, at the latest upon expiry of the respective statutory retention periods (e.g. retention periods under commercial and tax law), provided that this data is no longer required for the performance of a contract and/or there is no legitimate interest on our part in continuing to store it.

Use of the website and creation of log files

When you visit our website, the following information is automatically transmitted by your browser to our provider’s server:

  • IP address of your end device
  • date and time of access
  • name and URL of files retrieved
  • website from which access is made or from which you were directed to our site (referrer URL)
  • browser used and, where applicable, the operating system of your device
  • name of the access provider.

This data is not merged with other data sources. The IP address is anonymised.

This data is collected in order to ensure the proper use of the website, to optimise the website and to ensure the security of our IT systems. These aforementioned purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in the data processing pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

This data is regularly deleted automatically. In the event of misuse of the website, the relevant data whose further storage is necessary for evidentiary purposes is retained until the matter has been resolved.

Hosting

We use the hosting service of Telekom, Landgrabenweg 149, 53227 Bonn, for the purpose of providing the website on the basis of processing carried out on our behalf. All data collected on our website is processed on the servers of Telekom . This may in particular involve IP addresses, contact requests, meta and communication data, contract data, contact data, names, website accesses and other data generated via a website.

Contact

As a rule, our website can be used without providing personal data. 

Should you contact us by other means, such as email or telephone, the data collected here will be treated as confidential and will not be passed on to third parties without your consent. 

The respective purpose of the data processing results from

  • the voluntary disclosure by the data subject pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR
  • the performance of a contract or the taking of pre-contractual steps pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR
  • the legitimate interest in the effective handling of enquiries addressed to the company pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

A contact form is available on our website for electronic contact. If this option is used, the data entered in the input mask is transmitted to us and stored.

This personal data is:

  • Name
  • Email address

In addition, the following data is stored at the time the message is sent:

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

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. 

The user has the option of objecting to the processing of personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued. All personal data stored in the course of making contact will be deleted in this case.

Contractual and business partners

The data of our contractual and business partners is processed by us primarily to fulfil our contractual obligations and for communication. Processing also takes place for proper and economically sound business management and to safeguard our rights. Processing therefore takes place

  • for the performance of a contract and pre-contractual requests pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR,
  • on the basis of a legal obligation pursuant to Art. 6(1)(1)(c) GDPR, or
  • on the basis of legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR.

Data is only passed on to third parties insofar as this is necessary to fulfil legal obligations or where this is stated in the contract or in this privacy policy. 

Applicants

By submitting their application, applicants consent to the processing of their data for the application procedure in accordance with our privacy policy.

The legal basis for processing applicant data is Art. 88 GDPR, Section 26 of the new German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG-neu) and, where applicable, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for the initiation or performance of contractual relationships.

Insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9(1) GDPR are voluntarily provided in the course of the application procedure, their processing additionally takes place pursuant to Art. 9(2)(b) GDPR (e.g. health data, such as severe disability status or ethnic origin).

Insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9(1) GDPR are requested from applicants in the course of the application procedure, their processing additionally takes place pursuant to Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR (e.g. health data, where this is necessary for carrying out the profession)

In the event of a successful application, the data provided by applicants may be further processed by us for the purposes of the employment relationship. Otherwise, if the application for a job offer is unsuccessful, the applicant’s data will be deleted. The applicant’s data will also be deleted if an application is withdrawn, which applicants are entitled to do at any time. Deletion takes place after a period of six months has elapsed, so that we can answer any follow-up questions regarding the application and meet our obligations to provide evidence under the German General Equal Treatment Act (AGG). Invoices for any reimbursement of travel expenses are archived in accordance with the requirements of tax law.

Your rights

As a data subject, you have the option of asserting your rights in connection with the General Data Protection Regulation against us. These include the following rights:

Right of access pursuant to Article 15 GDPR

You have the option of requesting the data we have stored about you. In particular, you may request information about the purposes of processing, the category of personal data, the categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing or objection, the existence of a right to lodge a complaint, the origin of your data if it was not collected by us, as well as the existence of automated decision-making including profiling and, where applicable, meaningful information about the details thereof. An informal request by email or by post is sufficient for this purpose. You will receive the information you have requested within one month of receipt of the letter.

Right to rectification pursuant to Article 16 GDPR

In the event that we have recorded/stored incorrect data about you, you can request the rectification or completion of this data by means of an informal request. Within one month of receipt of the letter, you will receive information about the change to your data.

Right to erasure pursuant to Article 17 GDPR

You have the option of requesting the erasure of your personal data stored by us, unless the processing is necessary for exercising the right to freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. However, this requires that the purposes of the processing no longer apply, or that you have objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21 GDPR, that you withdraw your consent pursuant to Article 7 GDPR, or that the processing is unlawful.

Right to restriction of processing pursuant to Article 18 GDPR

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data insofar as you contest the accuracy of the data, the processing is unlawful but you refuse its erasure, we no longer need the data but you require it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR. You can also notify us of this informally.

Right to data portability pursuant to Article 20 GDPR

You have the option of receiving the data we hold about you in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, or of requesting its transmission to another controller.

Right to withdraw consent pursuant to Art. 7(3) GDPR

You have the right to withdraw any consent you have given at any time with effect for us. As a result, we may no longer continue the data processing that was based on this consent in the future.

Right to object pursuant to Article 21 GDPR

Insofar as your personal data is processed on the basis of legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data, provided that there are grounds for doing so arising from your particular situation or that the objection is directed against direct marketing. In the latter case, you have a general right to object, which we will implement without you having to state a particular situation. If you wish to exercise your right of withdrawal or objection, an email to info(at)jufol.de is sufficient.

Right to lodge a complaint pursuant to Article 77 GDPR

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. For this purpose, you may contact the supervisory authority of your habitual residence or place of work or of our registered office.

A list of the German supervisory authorities (for the non-public sector) with addresses can be found at:

SSL/TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser’s address bar changes from „http://“ to „https://“ and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.

When SSL/TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
