As is true of most websites, the JCK websites collect certain information automatically and store it in log files. The information may include internet protocol (IP) addresses, the region or general location where your computer or device is accessing the internet, browser type, operating system and other information about the use of the Websites, including a history of the pages you view. We use this information to help us design our site to better suit our users’ needs. We may also use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our website, analyse trends, track visitor movements, and gather broad demographic information that assists us in identifying visitor preferences. The Websites also use cookies and web beacons. These do not track users when they cross to third-party websites and do not provide targeted advertising to them, and therefore do not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals.

JCK has a legitimate interest in understanding how members employees, potential employees, customers and potential customers use the Websites. This assists us with providing more relevant information on our products and services, with communicating value to our sponsors and corporate members, and providing appropriate staffing to meet member employee and customer needs.

JCK collects personal information about its existing (potential) customers, business relations, employment candidates and employees, social media followers, website visitors, physical visitors on our local sites. Regarding our website visitors, this information is mostly limited to the types of information that can be found on a business card: first name; last name; job title; employer name; work address; work email; and work phone number. We use this information to provide the required information to other JCK businesses and the right customer contacts, as well as other parties related to our business.

We will only use your personal information for the purposes for which JCK collected it unless it is reasonably considered to be needed for use due to another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If JCK need to use your personal information for an unrelated purpose, JCK will only do so if legally permitted and with appropriate notice.

JCK does not and will never sell any personal information to anyone and only share it with third parties who are facilitating the delivery of JCK services.

JCK has its headquarters in the UK. Information we collect from you will be processed mainly within the European Union, but this may also take place in countries outside of the European Union where we have local subsidiaries (Canada, USA, and Singapore).

The United States has not sought nor received a finding of ‘adequacy’ from the European Union under Article 45 of the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR). We rely on derogations for specific situations as set forth in Article 49 of the GDPR. JCK collects and transfers to non-members of the European Union personal data only: with your consent; to perform a contract with you; to comply with a legal obligation; or to fulfil a compelling legitimate interest of JCK in a manner that does not outweigh your rights and freedoms. We endeavour to apply suitable safeguards to protect the privacy and security of your personal data and use it only in a way that is consistent with your relationship with JCK, and the practices described in this Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. JCK also enters into data processing agreements and model clauses with its vendors whenever feasible and appropriate.

JCK will only transfer your personal information where we are satisfied that it will be subject to an appropriate level of protection and in accordance with any safeguards that may be legally required.

In order to provide you with a better service, your personal data may be made available to other branches of JCK, including those in countries outside of the European Economic Area (‘EEA’). These branches will use your data solely for the purposes for which it has been provided, for example for the performance of an agreement that has been concluded with you or for providing the information that you have requested. Also, where appropriate in order to facilitate this cross-border data exchange in a GDPR accountable manner.

As a data subject you are entitled to execute your rights according to the relevant privacy law, for instance the GDPR. JCK needs to receive such formal request to do so by e-mail or in writing accompanied with a copy of your ID. You will receive a written response from JCK within 30 days.

To help protect the privacy of data and the personally identifiable information that you transmit using the Websites, JCK always maintains a security level that is adequate, in accordance with the latest technical developments, to prevent unauthorised access to, adaptation, disclosure or loss of personal data. We maintain physical, technical, and administrative safeguards. We update and test our security technology on an ongoing basis. We restrict access to your personal data to those employees who need to know that information to provide benefits or services to you. In addition, we train our employees about the importance of confidentiality and maintaining the privacy and security of your information. We commit to taking appropriate disciplinary measures to enforce our employees’ privacy responsibilities.

The security of your personal data is also based on keeping the login details of your account (username and password) confidential. Never share your login details with anyone else and always take care when using them.

Your personal data is stored by JCK on its servers and on the servers of the cloud-based database management services JCK engages. These third parties do not use or have access to your personal information for any purpose other than cloud storage and retrieval. JCK will not engage third parties to mail information to you.

This Privacy Policy and Terms of Use does not apply to third-party websites that are associated with the Websites by means of links. JCK does not accept any responsibility or liability regarding how these third parties deal with your personal data. JCK therefore recommends that you always familiarise yourself with the privacy policy on the websites concerned.

JCK will not provide your personal data to third parties, unless:

As our organisation, membership and benefits change from time to time, this Privacy Policy and Terms of Use are expected to change as well. We reserve the right to amend the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use at any time, for any reason, without notice to you, other than the posting of the amended Privacy Policy and Terms of Use on the Websites. You should check the Websites frequently to see the current Privacy Policy and Terms of Use that are in effect and any changes that may have been made.
