Privacy Statement

1. General information
Protecting your personal data is very important to us. We therefore adhere strictly to the rules of the Data Protection and Telemedia Act. When dealing with your personal data, our staff are obligated to comply with all relevant data protection regulations.  

This privacy statement serves to inform you about the type, scope and purpose of the collection, processing and use of personal data, and about your rights. The term “personal data” is defined in the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (EU-GDPR) as all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, a person’s name, address, telephone number and email address.

2. Collection, processing and use of personal data
JOST only collects, processes and uses personal data to the extent permitted or required by the EU-GDPR or another legal provision or as authorised by the person concerned. It is generally possible to use our website without entering any personal data. Where personal data (for example name, address or email address) is collected on our website, this is always on a voluntary basis. 

Please note that unencrypted data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating via email) may entail security risks. It is not possible to protect data completely against third-party access.

3. Cookies
Our website uses cookies. A cookie is a text file that is sent and stored on your hard drive when you visit a website. If you, the website user, access our website’s server again, the browser on your computer sends the cookie it received back to the server. The server can analyse the information it receives through this process in different ways. For example, cookies can be used to manage the advertisements displayed to you and help simplify the navigation on a website. If you, as the user of the website, would like to block cookies, you can do this by changing the local settings in your browser, i.e. the program on your device you use to open and display websites (e.g. Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera or Safari).

4. Registration on our website
(online recruiting, job newsletter, supplier portal)

The following personal data is collected when you register on our website: your name/company, address, telephone number and email address. Once registered, you can log in to our website at any time using your user name and password. Registering on our website enables you to modify or delete your personal data. The data you enter is used solely for the purposes you originally defined.

5. Transmission of data to third parties
Your data is not passed on to third parties without your explicit consent. 

6. Storage of data
We only store data for as long as legally required or as needed to process your enquiry. Once this purpose has been fulfilled or the period has expired, the relevant data is blocked or deleted.

7. Information, correction and objection
You have the right to request information about the personal data we have saved and to have us correct or delete it. You can also retract your permission for the future use of your data at any time, or request that your data is transmitted to another service provider. All it takes is an email to the following address: datenschutz@jost-world.com. You also have the right to file a complaint with the data protection supervisory authority.

8. Advertising
The website operators hereby expressly object to third parties using the contact data disclosed in the legal notice for the purpose of distributing unsolicited advertising and information material. The website operators expressly retain the right to take legal steps where unsolicited advertising information is sent (e.g. spam emails).

9. Use of Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”).

Google Analytics uses cookies, which are text files saved on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

However, activating IP anonymisation on this website means that Google will first shorten your IP ad-dress within member states of the European Union or other states party to the Agreement on the Eu-ropean Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases, the full IP address is transmitted to a Google server in the United States and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to analyse your use of the website, compile reports on website activity and provide the website operator with further services in connection with use of the website and the Internet in general. Google will not link the IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics with any other data.

You can block the use of cookies by selecting the corresponding settings on your browser. However, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (incl. your IP address) from being recorded and/or processed by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en-GB.

As an alternative to the browser plug-in or in browsers on mobile devices, please click on the link below to place an opt-out cookie, which will prevent recording by Google Analytics on this website in future. (This opt-out cookie only works in this browser and for this domain. If you delete your cookies in this browser, you will need to click the link again.): Deactivate Google Analytics

You can find more information on this at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en-GB and https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en (general information on Google Analytics and data protection). Please note that, on this website, the code “gat._anonymizeIp();” has been added to Google Analytics in order to guarantee anonymised recording of IP addresses (known as IP masking).

10. Changes to our privacy statement
JOST retains the right to make adjustments and amendments to the privacy statement in order to adhere to current legal requirements. The latest version of our privacy statement is available on our website at all times.
