2. What sources of information and data are used by Jansen?

We 'process' as defined in Art. 4. No. 2 of the GDPR personal data that we receive from you in connection with a business relationship or your use of our online services. We also process personal data that we obtain from third parties with your consent and from publicly accessible sources, such as the commercial register or insolvency register, and are allowed to process.
In this case, the term 'personal data' covers information in the form of your name, address, date of birth, legitimisation information such as ID data, data related to our performance of contractual obligations (e.g. turnover data), promotional and sales data and data on your use of our online services (e.g. time you accessed our website, pages clicked on and other similar data).

3. Why does Jansen process your data (processing purpose) and what is the legal basis for this?

It is necessary for us to process your personal data in order to comply with our contractual responsibilities towards you. We also need to process this data in order to comply with our duties of disclosure and documentation that, for example, are specified under German commercial and tax laws. It is also possible in some circumstances that processing may be necessary to meet the requirements of anti-money laundering legislation. All processing is undertaken in compliance with the stipulations of the GDPR and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG).

3.1. Processing in order to comply with contractual responsibilities. In this case, the legal basis is defined in Art. 6, No. 1 (b) of the GDPR.

We process your personal data for the purposes of the performance of any contract to which you are a party, to fulfil your orders and the management of all our commercial, development and production activities. The primary objective of our data processing is to ensure the quality of the services you require (supply of products, advice, production of paints, etc.)

3.2. Processing for the purposes of our legitimate interests. In this case, the legal basis is defined in Art. 6, No. 1 (b) of the GDPR.

When necessary, we may need to process your data for reasons other than complying with our contractual responsibilities when we or third parties have a related legitimate interest. Such legitimate interests include the review and optimisation of needs analysis processes for the direct contact with customers for promotional or survey purposes (assuming you have not prohibited the use of your data in this connection), the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims in cases of legal disputes, the safeguarding of the operation and security of the Jansen IT system, the prevention and investigation of offences, the maintenance of building and plant security (e.g. access controls), the safeguarding of domiciliary rights, measures for business management and the improvement of products and services, and risk management.

3.3. Processing in order to comply with legal obligations or as a matter of public interest. The legal basis for this is defined in Art. 6, No. 1 (c) of the GDPR.

Because of the products we sell and the services we provide, we may in some circumstances be subject to specific legal requirements, such as those stipulated in anti-money laundering legislation. In addition, we are required under commercial and tax legislation to retain certain data in order to meet our control, reporting and documentation obligations.

3.4. Processing on the basis of your given consent. The legal basis for this is defined in Art. 6, No. 1 (a) of the GDPR.

If you have consented to allow us to process your personal data for particular purposes (e.g. in connection with promotional or marketing purposes, photos of you taken at events, your Jansen ID/newsletter subscription), the legality of processing is based on your consent.  Please note that you can withdraw your given consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent to data processing cannot be made retrospective.

4. Who gets to see your data?

Within Jansen, this will be the personnel who need your data to complete their assignments and duties. Your data may also be revealed to processors (Art. 28 GDPR) commissioned by us. These may be an IT or telecommunication service provider or a printer employed by us (e.g. when you order our catalogue). Under certain circumstances, we may be legally required to reveal your data to public offices and institutions (such as law courts or tax authorities). In addition, we also reveal your data to payment service providers and shippers whose cooperation we require in order to comply with our contractual obligations towards you (supply of our products). Please note that Jansen uses payment service providers who are located in a country outside the EU. Personal data is only forwarded to these when this is necessary in order to comply with contractual obligations.

5. Duration of data retention

We will only process your data for as long as this is necessary for us to comply with our obligations towards you. Data is regularly deleted as soon as retention is no longer required for contractual or legal reasons. In addition, we are required to retain certain data for periods of 2 - 11 years by the German Commercial Code (HGB), Fiscal Code (AO) and anti-money laundering legislation.

6. Transfer of data to third countries

We do not transfer data to third countries (i.e. countries outside the EU or EEA) unless the payment service provider you have nominated is located there.

In order to comply with anti-money laundering legislation, we may be compelled to identify you with the help of an ID document and to record your name, place of birth, date of birth, nationality and address. To enable us to comply with this requirement, it will be necessary for you to provide this information. If you are unwilling to do so, we will be unable to enter into the desired business relationship with you.

These will be transferred to the cache of your browser to avoid the necessity for repeated uploading. When the script and font libraries are activated, a connection to Google is automatically established.

11. Use of Facebook and Facebook Fanpage
 
Jansen maintains a Facebook Fanpage to communicate with its customers, users and other interested parties, where they can find out about the services it offers.
 
We should like to point out that your data may also be processed outside the European Union. This may pose risks to your data because e.g. it may be more difficult to enforce your rights. In respect of US-based providers certified under the Privacy Shield, Jansen draws your attention to the fact that these providers are under an obligation to comply with the data protection standards of the EU.
 
Your data is used regularly for market research and advertising purposes. User profiles may be created on the basis of your user behaviour and the interests that it indicates. In turn, these may be used to e.g. place advertisements within and outside Facebook which it is hoped match your interests. To that end, cookies are regularly stored on your device. They store your user behaviour and interests. Moreover, the user profiles may also store data independently of the devices used (in particular if you are a member of Facebook and logged into it).
 
The processing of your data takes place on the basis of our legitimate interests in effective information and communication with you pursuant to Art. 6(1) letter f GDPR. If you are asked for a consent to the aforementioned data processing by the respective providers of the platforms, the legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1) letter a, Art. 7 GDPR.
 
For a detailed description of the respective processing and the possibilities to object (opt-out), we refer you to the following linked information from the providers.
 
If you wish to request information and assert your user rights, Jansen would like to point out that this can be done in the most effective way by contacting Facebook. Only Facebook has access to your data in this regard and can adopt corresponding measures and provide information. If you nonetheless require assistance, you can contact us.
