  1. Advertising Cookies & Tracking Technologies  

These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by these partner companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising. 

We also use cross-device tracking technologies to help us carry out marketing analytics, create custom audiences and show you targeted advertising on other websites based on your visit to our websites.   

The legal basis for this data processing is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) 1a of the GDPR if you have given your consent via our consent banner.  

Your consent is voluntary and can be withdrawn at any time. 

How does tracking work? 

When you visit our websites, it is possible that the third-party providers listed below may retrieve identification characteristics of your browser or terminal device (e.g., a browser fingerprint), evaluate your IP address, save or extract identification characteristics on your terminal device (e.g., cookies) or gain access to individual tracking pixels. 

The individual characteristics can be used by these third parties to identify your terminal device on other websites. We may commission these third-party providers to show you advertisements based on the pages visited on our website. 

What does cross-device tracking mean? 

If you log on to the third-party provider with your user data, the respective identification characteristics of different browsers and end devices can be linked with each other. For example, if the third-party provider has created a unique identifier for each laptop, desktop personal computer, smartphone or tablet you use, these individual identifiers can be associated with each other as soon as you log in to a third-party service using your login credentials. This allows the third party to target our advertising campaigns across multiple devices. 

Which third-party providers do we use in this context? 

The third-party providers with whom we work for advertising purposes are listed below. If the data is processed outside the EU or EEA in this context, please note that there is a risk that local authorities may access the data for security and monitoring purposes without you being informed or having the right to appeal. Where we use providers in third countries without an adequate level of protection and you give your consent, the transfer to this third country is based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR.

  1. Embedded Videos 

On our websites, we embed videos that are not hosted on our servers. In order to ensure that accessing our websites containing embedded videos does not automatically lead to the download of third-party content, we only show locally hosted preview images of the videos as a first step. As a result, the third-party provider does not receive any information. 

Only after you click on the preview image, is content from the third-party provider downloaded. This provides the third party with information that you have accessed our site and with the usage data technically required for this purpose. Furthermore, the third-party provider is then able to implement tracking technologies. We have no influence on the further data processing by the third-party provider. By clicking on the preview image, you give us your consent to download content from the third-party provider. 

The embedding is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) 1 a GDPR, provided that you have given your consent by clicking on the preview image. Please note that the embedding of many videos leads to your data being processed outside the EU or EEA. In some countries, there is a risk that authorities may access the data for security and surveillance purposes without informing you or allowing you to take legal action. Where we use providers in third countries without an adequate level of protection and you give your consent, the transfer to this third country is based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR.

  1. Map Services 

On our web sites, we embed map services which are not stored on our servers. In order to prevent the automatic downloading of third-party content when you visit our web sites with embedded map services, we only show locally stored preview images of the maps as a first step. This does not provide the third-party provider with any information. 

Only after you click on the preview image, will third-party content be downloaded. This provides the third party with information that you have accessed our site and with the usage data technically required for this purpose. We have no influence on the further data processing by the third-party provider. 

By clicking on the preview image, you give us the consent to download contents of the third-party provider. 

The legal basis for the embedding processing is your consent according to Art. 6 (1) 1 a GDPR, provided that you have previously given your consent by clicking on the preview image.  

Please note that the embedding of some map services means that your data may be processed outside the EU or EEA. In some countries, there is a risk that authorities may access the data for security and surveillance purposes without informing you or allowing you to take legal action. Where we use providers in third countries without an adequate level of protection and you give your consent, the transfer to this third country is based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. 

  1.  Contact Us  

You may contact us via our contact form on this website or via telephone.  

When you use our contact form, we will require you to provide the data marked as mandatory. 

We process the data that is necessary to answer your enquiry on the basis of Art. 6 (1) 1 b GDPR. Information that you voluntarily provide to us (data fields that are marked with a *) is processed on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) 1 a GDPR. You declare this consent by sending the form.  

Your data will only be processed to answer your request. We will delete your data if they are no longer required and there are no legal obligations to retain them. 

When you contact our Customer Service by phone, we may collect audio recordings of your call, based on your explicit consent. We will also inform you about this in the corresponding telephone message. The data is used to respond to your customer service requests. Where calls are recorded, the data is used for training and customer care purposes.   

Where the processing of your data is based on legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 (1) 1 f GDPR, you have the right to object to that processing at any time. To do so, please use the email address provided in the imprint.  

In addition, you can withdraw any consent to the processing of your voluntarily provided information at any time. To do so, please use the email address provided in the imprint. 

The personal data processed by Customer Service is deleted 6 months after the resolution of the case for which it was collected. 

  1. Captcha  

To protect our web forms from automated requests, we use the system Google reCAPTCHA by Google LLC. Within the captcha function you may be asked to carry out a specific task or click on certain checkboxes. The user input required in this context and, if necessary, the mouse movements are used to determine whether the input comes from a person or an automated program. 

As the Captcha function is provided by a third party, displaying the captcha will cause third-party content to be downloaded. This provides the third party with information that you have accessed our site and with the usage data technically required for this purpose. We have no influence on the further data processing by the third-party provider. 

The legal basis for this data processing is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You declare your consent by using our web forms that are protected by reCAPTCHA. A corresponding indicator is displayed on these pages. 

Please note that the use of the Captcha function may result in your data being processed outside the EU or EEA. In some countries, there is a risk that authorities may access the data for security and surveillance purposes without informing you or allowing you to take legal action. Where we use providers in third countries without an adequate level of protection and you give your consent, the transfer to this third country is based on Art. 49(1) (a) GDPR. 

  1. Social Media Plugins  

We may enable the usage of social media plugins such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube on our website. However, for data protection reasons, we only integrate these social media plugins in a deactivated form. Therefore, when you visit our websites, no data is transmitted to social media services unless you activate the respective social plugin by clicking on the preview image or icon connected to the desired social media platform.  

If you click on a plugin, the social media platform receives information about your visit to our websites. This happens regardless of whether you have registered an account with the respective social media service. If you are logged in, the data can be directly assigned to your social media profile. They may also use this information to create user profiles based on your data and use them for the purpose of personalized advertising. 

JDE is not responsible for the privacy policies and/or practices of third parties. When activating or linking to another website or platform, you should read the privacy policy on that site or platform.  

The legal basis for this integration is your consent according to Art. 6 (1) 1 a GDPR, if you have given your consent by clicking on the preview image. Please note that the integration of many social plugins means that your data is processed outside the EU or EEA. In some countries, there is a risk that authorities may access the data for security and surveillance purposes without you being informed or having the right to appeal.  

If we use providers in third countries without an adequate level of protection and you give your consent, the transfer to this third country is based on Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR. 

If you no longer wish your personal data to be processed by the activated social plugins, you can prevent future processing by not clicking on the preview image or icon of the respective Social Plugin. 

 

 

  1. Newsletter Registration and Delivery 

You may register to receive our newsletter on our website. Please note that we require certain data (your e-mail address at the minimum) to complete the newsletter registration.  

We will only send you the newsletter if you have given us your  consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) 1 a GDPR. After you have completed the newsletter registration on our website, you will receive a confirmation e-mail at the e-mail address you provided (double opt-in).

This may include storing the complete IP address at the time of the registration or confirmation of the newsletter, as well as a copy of the confirmation mail sent by us.  

The legal basis for the data processing is our legitimate interest to be able to account for the legality of the newsletter delivery according to Art. 6 (1) 1 f GDPR. 

If you register for our newsletter, we may ask you to agree to further newsletter tracking as part of the registration process. 

If you give us the appropriate consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) 1 a GDPR, we will include individual tracking technology in our newsletters, with which we can recognize when the newsletter sent to you was accessed or opened and individualize the links in the newsletter to determine when you clicked on which link.

Where required, the appropriate data processing agreements and transfer mechanisms have been put in place. JDE is not responsible for the policies of the third-party providers. 

  1.  Data Security 

We take technical and organizational measures to protect your data as comprehensively as possible from unauthorized access. These measures include encryption procedures on our web pages. Your data is transferred from your computer to our server and vice versa via the internet using TLS encryption. 

You can recognize this by the lock symbol in the status bar of your browser and the address line beginning with https://.
