Insofar as your consent also extends to the storage of cookies or the access to any information on your device (e.g. device fingerprinting) as outlined in the TTDSG (German Federal Act on Privacy in Telecommunications and Telemedia), your data will furthermore be processed on the basis of Sec. 25 Sec. 1 TTDSG. You may withdraw your given consent regarding the use of your personal data for the future without cause at any time by sending an e-mail to [email protected]. 

2. Server Log Files

Rather, this information is technically required to deliver the content of our website correctly, to ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website and to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for law enforcement in the event of a cyber-attack.

The data stored in the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

3. Cookies

In order to optimize the functionality and usability of the website, we use so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies help make our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser. 
 
Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies." They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain in your device's memory until you delete them. These cookies allow to recognize your browser when you next visit the site. 
 
Cookies that are necessary to allow electronic communications or to provide certain functions you wish to use are processed by us pursuant to Art. 6(1) lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies to ensure an optimized service provided free of technical errors. 
We will inform you separately about all cookies by means of which personal data are processed and which are not technically necessary for the provision of the website (e.g. cookies set by third-party companies or cookies used for analysis purposes) within the scope of this privacy policy and only use these personal data only with your prior consent (Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR or Section 25 para. (1) TTDSG).

You can change your cookie settings taken when first visiting the website at any time by clicking on the “Cookie Settings” icon that you find on the bottom right corner of the window.

You can also configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies so that you can decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept or reject a cookie. Alternatively, your browser can be configured to automatically accept cookies under certain conditions or always reject them, or automatically delete cookies when closing your browser. You can also individually administer the cookies of many companies and functions that are used for advertising. Use the relevant user tools, which can be found at https://www.aboutads.info/choices  or http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website. In addition, most browsers offer a so-called “Do-not-track function”, with which you can state that you do not wish to be “tracked” by websites. If this function is activated, the respective browser informs advertising networks, websites, and applications that you do not want to be tracked for the purpose of behavioral advertising.

4. Subscription to Our Newsletter

We inform our customers and business partners at regular intervals by means of a newsletter about offers and news from us. You can subscribe to our newsletter on this website. If you wish to do so, we require that you provide us with your email address. The processing of this data solely serves the purpose of the orderly delivery of the newsletter. Legal basis for this is Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR or Section 25 (1) TTDSG.

For the subscription, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that a confirmation email will be sent to the email address provided by you for the delivery of the newsletter. In this confirmation email, we ask you to confirm the subscription to our newsletter. If you do confirm by clicking on the link provided in the confirmation email, we will save your email address and the other information you might have provided us with, until you unsubscribe from the newsletter. When you click on the link in the confirmation email, we also store the IP address from which access is made and the time of access to prevent possible misuse.

The personal data collected as part of the newsletter service is not passed on to third parties. You can cancel the subscription to our newsletter with effect for the future at any time. To withdraw your consent to the subscription you can click on the corresponding link provided in every newsletter. You can also unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by sending an email to the email address mentioned at the beginning of this privacy policy.

Newsletter tracking
Our newsletters contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in emails that are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This enables a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns to be carried out. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, J.A.M.E.S can recognize whether and when an email was opened by you and which links in the email were clicked by you. Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and evaluated by us in order to optimize the sending of the newsletter and to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the person concerned. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Legal basis for this is Article 6(1) lit. a and f. GDPR. 

You are entitled at any time to withdraw your consent relating to this by sending an email to [email protected]. After you withdraw your consent, your personal data will be deleted. If you unsubscribe from the newsletter, J.A.M.E.S automatically interprets this as withdrawal of your consent and will also delete your data.

The legal basis for this is Sec. 26 BDSG, Art. 6(1) lit. b GDPR. Your personal data will be processed within our company exclusively by people who are involved in the processing of your application (these are the employees of the personnel department and the decision-makers of the respective departments).

If the application is successful, the data submitted by you will be processed based on Art. 6(1) lit. b GDPR in conjunction with Sec. 26 BDSG for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. 

If we are unable to offer you an employment relationship, if you reject an offer of employment or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have provided for up to 2 (two) months from the termination of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). Thereafter, the data will be deleted, and the physical application documents destroyed. Retention serves in particular for purposes of proof in the event of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the data will be required after the 2-month period has expired (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), the data will not be deleted until the purpose for continued storage no longer applies.

11. Third-party Tools

In order to provide and continuously improve our services, we rely on the services of the following third-party providers, through which personal data may also be processed. We have selected these third-party providers carefully and in accordance with the provisions of applicable data protection legislation.

Google Analytics

The website uses "Google Analytics 4" ("Google Analytics"), a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. The responsible entity for users in the EU/EEA and Switzerland is Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"). The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics and the data processing is Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR or Section 25 para. (1) TTDSG (consent). We use Google Analytics to analyze the use of our website and to continuously improve individual functions and offers as well as the user experience. Through the statistical evaluation of user behavior, we can improve our offering and make it more interesting for you as a user. We also use the data reports generated by Google Analytics to provide these reports to companies with which we have entered into partnerships, in order for them to gain a better understanding of the AME industry through different levels of information, e.g. potential leads, frequency of visits to our partners’ websites, download of our partners’ material or interest of different users in our partners’ products/designs/papers. You can find a list of our partner companies here. This list is amended from time to time.

Google Analytics uses its own cookies for these purposes. If users click pages of our website, the following data may be processed:

- Browser type/version,
- operating system used,
- Referrer URL (the previously visited page),
- host name of the accessing computer (IP address) and
- time of the server request,

This data is usually transferred to and processed on a Google server in the United States. 

In order to oblige Google to process the transmitted data only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with applicable data protection law, we have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) with Google pursuant to Article 28 (3) GDPR.

To ensure compliance with European data protection standards in the US, we have also concluded the new EU standard contractual clauses (Decision EU/2021/914) with Google. The parent company of Google Ireland, Google LLC, is based in California, United States. A transfer of data to the US and access by US authorities to the data stored by Google cannot be ruled out. The US is currently considered a third country from a data protection perspective. You do not have the same rights there as within the EU/EEA. You may not be entitled to any legal remedies against access by authorities.

We would like to point out that we have extended the tracking code of Google Analytics with "anonymizeIp()" on this website to ensure anonymized collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the US and shortened there. On our behalf, Google will use this information to compile reports on the activities on our website for us and to provide other services related to website and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google. In the context of data sharing, we have selected the settings so that Google cannot access your data for the purpose of improving Google's own products and services. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however, please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of the website.

You can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).

You can also revoke your consent in whole or in part at any time with effect for the future by changing your cookie settings at any time by clicking on the “Cookie Settings” icon that you find on the bottom right corner of the window.

For more information on terms of use and privacy, please visit www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/.
You can stop the use of the activities and information of your Google account under "Advertising settings" on https://adssettings.google.com/anonymous?hl=de via checkbox.

HubSpot

On our website we use the cloud-based customer relationship management (CRM) tool HubSpot, which is operated by HubSpot, Inc., 15 First Street, 2nd Floor, Cambridge, MA 02141 USA (“HubSpot”). With the help of HubSpot, we can manage our contacts and sales and analyze our online marketing. 
HubSpot processes usage data (e.g. web pages visited, interest in content, access times), content data (e.g. entries in online forms), and meta/communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses).

The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6(1) 1 lit. f GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in managing data in a simple and inexpensive way. Provided that we have asked for your consent, your data will be processed exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR.  Insofar as your consent also extends to the storage of cookies or the access to any information on your device (e.g. device fingerprinting) as outlined in the TTDSG, your data will furthermore be processed on the basis of Sec. 25 Sec. 1 TTDSG.  You may revoke your consent at any time.

The data will be deleted when the purpose for which it was collected no longer applies and there is no obligation to retain it.  

We have entered into a data processing agreement with HubSpot pursuant to Article 28 (3) GDPR.

Within the scope of data processing by HubSpot, data may be transferred to the United States. In order to ensure compliance with European privacy standards in the United States, we have also entered into the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) issued by the EU Commission implementing decision 2021/914 of 4 June 2021 with HubSpot, which are incorporated into the data processing agreement we have entered into with HubSpot. HubSpot agrees to abide by and process EU Data in compliance with the SCCs.

12. Amazon Partner Program

We participate in the Amazon Partner Program that is provided and operated by Amazon Europe Core S.à.r.l., Amazon EU S.à.r.l., Amazon Services Europe S.à.r.l. and Amazon Media EU S.à.r.l., all having their registered offices at 38 avenue John F. Kennedy L-1855, Luxembourg, and Amazon Digital Germany GmbH, at Domagkstr. 28, 80807 Munich, as data controllers (within the meaning of Art. 4 no. 7 GDPR) as well as Amazon Deutschland Services GmbH, Marcel-Breuer-Str. 12, 80807 Munich, Germany as data processor (the aforementioned Amazon entities hereinafter jointly referred to as ”Amazon”). Through the use of the Amazon Partner Program, your data may be transferred to, and stored and processed by Amazon. 

Like every affiliate program, also the Amazon Partner Program is based on the principle of commission payments. Amazon or ourselves place advertising or partner links on our website and if you click on them and purchase a product via Amazon, we receive a remuneration in form of a commission payment. To that end, it is necessary that Amazon can identify you and trace the fact that you were referred to the respective product through the promotional ad placed on our website and that you have executed the respective transaction (e.g., purchase of a product). For this purpose, Amazon uses cookies or comparable recognition technology (e.g., device fingerprinting).

If you click on an advertising or partner link, Amazon collects data from you. In doing so, Amazon distinguishes between information that you actively provide to them and information that is collected and stored automatically. The "active information" may include, e.g., your name, postal address, e-mail address, telephone number, age, payment information or location information. The "automatic information" is primarily stored via cookies and may include, in particular, information on your user behaviour, IP address, device information (browser type, location, operating systems etc.) or the referrer URL. Amazon also stores the clickstream, which means the path (sequence of pages) that you as a user take to get to a certain product. Amazon also stores cookies in your browser to be able to trace the origin of an order. In doing so, Amazon recognizes that you have accessed our website and have clicked on an Amazon advert or a partner link. If you have an Amazon account and are logged in to your account while you are visiting our website, the automatically collected data can be assigned to your account. You can prevent this by logging out of your Amazon account before visiting our website.

Your personal data is stored by Amazon for as long as it is necessary for providing its business services or the data has to be stored for legal reasons. Since Amazon has its headquarters in the USA, the collected data is also stored and processed on servers in the United States. 

Amazon is certified under the new EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, which governs the legitimate and secure transfer of personal data from the EU to the US and for which the European Commission in July 2023 has issued an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45/3) GDPR. Further information on this can be found at https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/IP_23_3721. 

Amazon also relies on so-called standard contractual clauses (within the meaning of Art. 46 para. 2 and 3 GDPR). Standard contractual clauses (SCCs) are templates provided by the EU Commission and are intended to ensure that your data also complies with European data protection standards when they are transferred to third countries (such as the USA) and stored there. Through the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and the standard contractual clauses, Amazon undertakes to comply with data protection standards that are comparable to those applicable in the EU when processing your data, even if the data is stored and processed in the USA. The SCCs are based on an implementing decision of the EU Commission (914/2021/EU). Such decision and the  corresponding SCCs can be found here: https://eurlex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?locale=de 

The Amazon Data Processing Terms (AWS GDPR DATA PROCESSING), which correspond to the Standard Contractual Clauses, can be found at https://d1.awsstatic.com/legal/aws-gdpr/AWS_GDPR_DPA.pdf 

Further information on how Amazon processes your data can be found under https://www.amazon.de/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201909010&language=en_GB#GUID-9DFA0CFF-9E83-4207-8EE5-5B1B8CFC3F4A__SECTION_59D17962BEAC4806A83E752ECC5FC54D.

The legal basis for the data that is processed in the course of the Amazon Partner Program is Art. 6(1) lit. a) GDPR (consent) and, insofar the consent includes the storage of cookies or the access to information in the user’s end device (e.g., device fingerprinting), Sec. 25 para. (1) TTDSG. This consent can be revoked at any time.

As website operator we also have a legitimate interest in using the Amazon Partner Program in order to improve and optimize the offering on our website and being remunerated by our marketing partners. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1) lit. f) GDPR (legitimate interest). However, we nevertheless only use the Amazon Partner Program and collect and process the data related thereto insofar as you have given your consent.

You have the right to receive personal data concerning you, which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from us, where the processing is based on Article 6(1)(a) or (b) or Article 9(2) GDPR. 

f)      Right to object
If your personal data is processed on the basis of legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6(1) lit. f) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR, provided that there are grounds for doing so that arise from your particular situation. Your personal data will then no longer be processed unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the assertion or defence of legal claims 

g)    Right to withdraw consent
To the extent the processing of your personal data is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR or Section 25 (1) TTDSG, you may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by sending an email to contact @j-ames.com.

h)    Right to file a complaint with a supervisory authority
Regardless of other legal remedies, you have the right to file a complaint with the responsible supervisory authority if you are of the opinion that the processing of your data violates provisions of the GDPR.
