d) Controller or controller responsible for the processing 

The controller or data controller is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

e) Processor

A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

f) Third party

Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.

g) Recipient

Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients. The processing of this data by the aforementioned authorities is carried out in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations in accordance with the purposes of the processing.

h) Consent 

Consent is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

3. Basic information on data processing

a) With regard to the terms defined in the GDPR, we refer to the other definitions in Art. 4 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in addition to the definitions listed above.

b) We process personal data in compliance with the relevant data protection regulations. This means that personal data is only processed if we have legal permission to do so or on the basis of your consent.

c) We process personal data that we receive from our interested parties, customers, business partners and users when they visit our websites or as part of our business relationship. In addition, we process - to the extent necessary for the provision of our services - personal data that we have received from other companies of the JobRad Group or from other third parties in a permissible manner (e.g. for the execution of orders, for the fulfilment of contracts or on the basis of consent given by you). 

4. Legal basis for data processing

JobRad GmbH processes personal data in accordance with the provisions of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG):

a) Based on your consent (Article 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR)

If you have given us your consent to process personal data for specific purposes, the lawfulness of this processing is based on your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time. Please note that the revocation only takes effect for the future. Processing that took place before the revocation is not affected.

b) For the fulfilment of contractual obligations (Article 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR)

If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR. The same applies to the implementation of pre-contractual measures that take place at your request.

c) Due to legal requirements (Article 6(1)(1)(c) GDPR)

d) In the context of the balancing of interests (Article 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR)

The processing of personal data that is not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases is based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of JobRad GmbH or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. According to Recital 47 of the GDPR, a legitimate interest exists, for example, if there is a relevant and appropriate relationship between the data subject and the controller, e.g., if the data subject is a customer of the controller or is employed by the controller.

e) Applicant data 

The legal basis for the processing of applicant data is Art. 88 GDPR in conjunction with § 26 BDSG.

5. Nature and purpose of the processing of personal data

a) When visiting the website

When you visit our website jobrad.org and the meinJobRad or specialist dealer portal, the browser used on your device automatically sends information to the server of our website. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file. The storage serves internal system-related and statistical purposes. The transmitted data is also used to provide information. The following information is collected without any action on your part and stored until it is automatically deleted:

  • IP address of the requesting computer,
  • Date and time of access,
  • name and URL of the accessed file
  • amount of data transferred, 
  • Notification of successful retrieval,
  • Website from which the access was made (referrer URL),
  • browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer and the name of your access provider.

We process the aforementioned data for the following purposes:

  • Ensuring a smooth connection to the website,
  • ensuring a comfortable use of our website,
  • evaluation of system security and stability and
  • for other administrative purposes.
  • legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, unless Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR is already fulfilled.

User data may be stored in our ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system.
We also use cookies and analysis services when you visit our website. You can find more detailed explanations on this in the "Cookies" and "Analysis tools" sections of this data protection information.

b) When registering for our newsletter

By subscribing to our newsletter, you agree to receive it and to the procedures described.

  1. Content and consent: Our newsletter contains information on current products, offers, promotions from our company, from our partners and from the bicycle industry. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to subscribe to our newsletter. This means that after you have registered, we will send you an email to the email address you have provided, in which we ask you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. If you do not confirm your registration within 24 hours, your information will be blocked and automatically deleted after one month. In addition, we store the IP addresses you use and the times of registration and confirmation. The purpose of this procedure is to be able to prove your registration and, if necessary, to clarify any possible misuse of your personal data.
    Mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your name, your e-mail address and, if applicable, details of your interest group (e.g. employer, employee, specialist retailer). The provision of further, separately marked data is voluntary. After your confirmation, we will save your e-mail address for the purpose of sending you the newsletter. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
  2. Revocation:  You can revoke your consent to the sending of the newsletter at any time and unsubscribe from the newsletter. You can declare your revocation, for example, via a link at the end of each newsletter, by e-mail to newsletter@jobrad.org or by sending a message to the contact details given in the imprint. After revocation, your data will be deleted except for the e-mail address. The e-mail address is stored in a blacklist and is only used to ensure that we do not send any further e-mails to your e-mail address.
  3. Use of the mailing service provider "MailChimp": The electronic newsletter is sent using "MailChimp", a newsletter mailing platform of the US provider Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.
    The email addresses of our newsletter recipients, as well as their other data described in this notice, are stored on MailChimp's servers in the USA. MailChimp uses this information to send and analyze the newsletter on our behalf. Furthermore, MailChimp may, according to its own information, use this data to optimize or improve its own services, e.g. for the technical optimization of the dispatch and presentation of the newsletter or for economic purposes in order to determine from which countries the recipients come. However, MailChimp does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them itself or to pass it on to third parties. MailChimp therefore undertakes to comply with EU data protection regulations. Furthermore, we have concluded a "Data Processing Agreement" with MailChimp. This is a contract in which MailChimp undertakes to protect the data of our users, to process it on our behalf in accordance with its data protection regulations and, in particular not to pass it on to third parties. You can view MailChimp's privacy policy here.
  4. Evaluation of user data (tracking): We would like to point out that we evaluate your user behaviour when sending the newsletter. For this analysis, the emails sent contain so-called web beacons or tracking pixels, which are one-pixel image files stored on our website. For the evaluations, we link the data mentioned in section 4 and the web beacons with your e-mail address and an individual ID. Links contained in the newsletter are also enriched with this ID. We use the data obtained in this way to create a user profile in order to tailor the newsletter to your individual interests. We record when you read our newsletters, which links you click on in them and deduce your personal interests from this. We link this data to the actions you take on our website.
    Such tracking is not possible if you have deactivated the display of images in your e-mail program by default. In this case, the newsletter will not be displayed in full and you may not be able to use all the functions. If you display the images manually, the above-mentioned tracking will take place.
  5. Online access and data management: There are cases in which we direct newsletter recipients to the MailChimp websites. For example, our newsletters contain a link that newsletter recipients can use to access the newsletter online (e.g. in the event of display problems in the email program). Newsletter recipients can also correct their data, such as their email address, at a later date. MailChimp's privacy policy is also only available on their website.
    In this context, we would like to point out that cookies are used on MailChimp's websites and that personal data is therefore processed by MailChimp, its partners and the service providers used (e.g. Google Analytics). We have no influence on this data collection. Further information can be found in MailChimp's privacy policy. We would also like to draw your attention to the options for objecting to the collection of data for advertising purposes on the websites www.aboutads.info/choices/ and www.youronlinechoices.com/ (for the European area).
    We are interested in using a user-friendly and secure newsletter system that serves both our business interests and the expectations of users.

c) When using our contact forms

If you have questions of any kind, we offer you the opportunity to contact us using a form provided on the website. This requires you to provide a valid e-mail address and other personal data so that we know who sent the request and can respond to it.
Data processing for the purpose of contacting us is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR on the basis of your voluntarily given consent.
The personal data collected by us for the use of the contact form will be deleted within one year after your inquiry has been dealt with.

d) When contacting us using the chat function

We offer various communication channels on our website so that you can contact us quickly and directly. This also includes the chat function.
Technical data: When you access and actively use the live chat, the following technical data is processed: Location information, IP address, network provider, browser language setting, platform, screen resolution, web browser used including version and operating system.
Data entered: To establish contact via this communication channel, we process the data required to establish contact and process your request. The data required for this is determined on the one hand by the input screen and on the other hand by the subject of the contact. At the beginning of the chat function, you will be asked to enter your name and contact details and, if applicable, contract data in order to assign your request.  You can decide for yourself which additional data you make available to us when contacting us and processing your request.
Note on third country processing: When using the chat function, technical data (which may also be personal data - such as your IP address) is processed by our processor in the third country USA. In order to ensure adequate protection of your data, we have obliged our service provider to comply with a level of data protection in accordance with EU law by using the corresponding EU standard contractual clauses. 
The chat function is used on a voluntary basis. You are free to contact us by other means.

e) When registering in our online portals

To implement the JobRad concept, you have the option of registering on our online portals. Which personal data is processed for this purpose is determined by the respective input mask used for registration. The purpose of registering the data subject by providing personal data is to offer the data subject content and services that can only be offered to registered portal users as part of the JobRad concept. The personal data provided will be processed for the purpose of implementing the JobRad concept. 

f) For the fulfilment of the contract

If you provide or have provided us with personal data, we will only use it to respond to your inquiries, to manage your registration, to prepare and execute JobRad contracts and the associated JobRad processes, for technical administration, if necessary for the utilization of the leasing object by means of a takeover offer and for the contractual and pre-contractual purposes mentioned under 4.

Relevant personal data in the prospective customer process or during the application/registration process, when creating master data, can be Salutation, full name, address/other contact details (telephone/email address), employer or employee status, company affiliation, job position title. 
In addition to the aforementioned data, further personal data may be processed for the use of our services. Which data is collected in detail depends on the specifications of the respective input mask/form fields or on which data you transmit to us by other means (e.g. by sending e-mails). 

g) Registration for and participation in on-site events and webinars

As part of our activities, we offer events on the subject of service wheel leasing and related topics. Which personal data is processed as part of the registration process can be seen from the respective input mask used for the event offered. The personal data provided will be processed by us and, if applicable, by the specified processors/contractual partners for the purpose of preparing, implementing and, if applicable, following up on the service offered. You will receive event-related information from us by email in advance of and, if applicable, after the event date. If we do not carry out the event registration or the respective webinar event via our own technical platform, we use Evenito as an event and webinar management platform. We have concluded an order processing agreement with the provider evenito AG, Limmatquai 122, 8001 Zurich, which complies with the requirements of Art. 28 GDPR. For on-site events on our campus, the rooms and, if necessary, the catering are usually provided by our contractual partner - SV Business Catering GmbH.

h) Registration for and participation in GoToMeetings and GoToWebinars

We use the "GoToMeeting or GoToWebinar" tool to conduct telephone conferences, online meetings, video conferences and/or webinars (hereinafter: "Online Meetings"). "GoToMeeting and GoToWebinar" is a service provided by LogMeIn, Inc. based in the USA.
JobRad GmbH is responsible for data processing that is directly related to the implementation of "online meetings". If you access the LogMeIn website, this provider is responsible for data processing. However, accessing the website is only necessary for the use of "GoToMeeting" or "GoToWebinar" in order to download the software for use. You can also use the application if you enter the relevant meeting ID and any other access data for the meeting directly in the app. If you do not want to or cannot use the app application, the basic functions can also be used via a browser version, which you can also find on the LogMeIn website.
Various types of data are processed when using "Online Meetings". The scope of the data also depends on the data you provide before or during participation in an "online meeting". The following personal data may be processed: User details: first name, last name, telephone (optional), e-mail address, password (if "single sign-on" is not used), profile picture (optional), department (optional) Meeting metadata: Topic, description (optional), participant IP addresses, device / hardware information 2 For recordings (optional): MP4 file of all video, audio and presentation recordings, M4A file of all audio recordings, text file of the online meeting chat. When dialing in by telephone: information on the incoming and outgoing phone number, country name, start and end time. If necessary, further connection data such as the IP address of the device can be saved. Text, audio and video data: You may have the option of using the chat, question or survey functions in an "online meeting". In this respect, the text entries you make are processed in order to display them in the "online meeting" and, if necessary, to log them. In order to enable the display of video and the playback of audio, the data from the microphone of your end device and from any video camera of the end device will be processed accordingly for the duration of the meeting. You can switch off or mute the camera or microphone yourself at any time via the "Online Meeting" applications. In order to participate in an "online meeting" or enter the "meeting room", you must at least provide information about your name.
Insofar as personal data of employees is processed during registration and use of the "Online Meetings", Section 26 BDSG is the legal basis for data processing. If, in connection with the use of "GoToMeeting", personal data is not required for the establishment, implementation or termination of the employment relationship, but is nevertheless an elementary component of the use of "GoToMeeting", Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR is the legal basis for data processing. In these cases, we are interested in the effective conduct of online meetings. Otherwise, the legal basis for data processing when conducting "online meetings" is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR, insofar as the meetings are conducted within the framework of contractual relationships. If there is no contractual relationship, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Here too, we are interested in the effective conduct of "online meetings".
"GoToMeeting" is a service of LogMeIn Ireland Limited (Bloodstone Building Block C 70 Sir John Rogerson's Quay Dublin 2, Ireland), a subsidiary of LogMeIn Inc (Log-MeIn, 320 Summer Street, Boston, MA 02210, USA). Personal data is therefore also processed in a third country. We have concluded an order processing contract with the provider of "GoToMeeting", which complies with the requirements of Art. 28 GDPR. Further information on data protection and data security from LogMeIn can be found here: https://www.logmeininc.com/de/gdpr/gdpr-compliance.

The legal basis for data processing is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR.
You can withdraw your consent at any time. You can declare your revocation at any later time without giving reasons, e.g. via the unsubscribe link contained in every e-mail or by sending a message to the contact details given in the imprint. The revocation is valid for the future. The withdrawal of your consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on your consent before its withdrawal.

6. Disclosure of data

a) Data is only passed on to third parties within the framework of the legal requirements. We only pass on user data to third parties if

  • you have given your express consent to this in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR,
  • the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data,
  • in the event that there is a legal obligation for the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR and
  • this is legally permissible and necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR.

b) As part of the entire JobRad process, the data you enter will be transmitted to various third parties, e.g. to the supplier of your JobRad, your employer and the lessor. A service company other than the supplier is also to be understood as a third party in this sense. The lessor is also entitled to pass on personal data to third parties, e.g. refinancers, insurance companies, service providers and credit agencies, to the extent necessary to process the contract. The lessor will also provide the lessee, your employer, with reports (inventory report, HR report) containing personal data as part of the contract processing. In addition, your personal data will be passed on by the lessor to the respective insurer in the event of an insurance claim - regardless of whether it is a total loss, partial loss or use of the mobility guarantee - and used by the insurer to process the contract / claims.

c) Your data may also be transferred to companies that act as processors for JobRad in accordance with Article 28 GDPR. This means that JobRad remains responsible for all your data, has the right to issue instructions and has satisfied itself that the company commissioned with data processing handles personal data with due care and carries out checks in accordance with the statutory provisions. If we use subcontractors to provide our services, we take appropriate legal precautions and appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure the protection of personal data in accordance with the relevant statutory provisions.

d) If content, tools or other means from other providers (hereinafter jointly referred to as "third-party providers") are used within the scope of this data protection information and their registered office is located in a third country, it is to be assumed that data is transferred to the countries in which the third-party providers are based. Third countries are countries in which the GDPR is not directly applicable law, i.e. generally countries outside the EU or the European Economic Area. The transfer of data to third countries takes place either if the processing is based on special guarantees - such as the EU Commission's officially recognized determination of a level of data protection corresponding to the EU or compliance with officially recognized special contractual obligations (so-called "standard contractual clauses") - consent or other legal permission exists.

7. General storage periods

Your personal data will be stored by us for as long as is necessary for the fulfilment of our contractual and legal obligations. Statutory retention periods result, among other things, from the German Commercial Code (HGB) and the German Fiscal Code (AO).

Documentation periods are two to ten years. The storage period of your data is also determined by statutory limitation periods regarding the preservation of evidence. According to §§ 195 ff. of the German Civil Code (BGB), these limitation periods can be up to 30 years, whereby the regular limitation period is three years.

The personal data collected by us for the use of the contact form will be deleted within one year after your inquiry has been dealt with.

Personal data of registered portal users who have not submitted an application for the use of a JobRad or a leasing request (self-employed leasing) will be deleted after a maximum of one year, i.e., if a registered portal user who has not submitted an application does not exercise their right as a data subject in accordance with Art. 17 GDPR before one year has passed since the last contact.

c) Purement – Green Website Test

Purpose and processing

Purement is a cloud-based software that can calculate and display the CO2 consumption for websites, assets (images, videos, etc. ) as well as external resources (scripts, images, videos, etc.) by temporarily capturing the IP address to send a script. By recording, it can be analysed where measures can be taken to reduce the CO2 emissions of the website.

As part of the analysis, all loaded URLs and any loaded assets on our website are transmitted to Purement when the website is called up for the purpose of recording the associated CO2 emissions. Inevitably, the IP address of the person visiting the website is also transmitted, but this is neither further processed nor stored by Purement but deleted after the collection of the non-personal data for statistical analysis.
