General information on data processing

1. Scope of processing of personal data

.

The JC and the BA process data for the purpose of their statutory task performance in accordance with the German Social Code (SGB). They are obliged to provide cash benefits, benefits in kind and services in an economic manner. This includes services for counseling, ending or reducing the need for assistance, in particular through integration into training or work and securing livelihood. In addition, personal data is also processed when carrying out claims for reimbursement from other benefit providers or other agencies or combating benefit abuse. The same applies to the issuance of certificates. In addition, personal data are processed for purposes of labor market and occupational research as well as for statistical purposes of the BA.

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

In so far as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO) serves as the legal basis.
For the processing of personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b DSGVO serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.
In so far as processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. c DSGVO serves as the legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make processing of personal data necessary, Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. d DSGVO serves as the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the former interest, Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the processing.

3. Data erasure and storage period

.

For data on the use of counseling and placement services, there is a retention period of five years after termination of the case. A termination of the case is when a need-covering employment subject to social insurance has been taken up, the customer has deregistered into a need-covering self-employed activity or for other reasons a further support by the JC does not take place (e.g. retirement, parental leave, etc.), unless special support services are granted or legal disputes are not concluded. The five years serve accounting purposes in accordance with the principles of the Federal Budget Code.

For data on the claiming of cash and non-cash benefits under SGB II, there is a storage period of ten years after the case has ended. In this context, a case is terminated when the need for assistance has ceased to exist or there is no longer any entitlement to benefits for other reasons, unless special support benefits are granted or legal disputes have not been concluded. The period of ten years is based on the legal possibility of reclaiming benefits if it becomes known during this period that benefits were wrongly granted.

If a grant was awarded by the European Social Fund, the data is stored for 13 years after the case is closed because this serves the purpose of accounting to the EU and is based on EU regulations (Art. 140 Regulation (EU) No. 1303/2013).

If a claim of the JC's (recovery / refund notice / loan) is still open, the data are stored in accordance with the provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure and the Civil Code for 30 years, because only then the claims become time-barred. The period is calculated depending on the enforcement attempt.

If the medical service, the medical service of the health insurance fund or municipality, other commissioned doctors or the occupational psychological service of the BA were involved, the data accrued by these specialist services will be deleted after ten years in accordance with the respective professional regulations.

  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Host name of the accessing computer
  • Date and time of server request
  • IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources. The collection of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website - for this purpose, the server log files must be collected.
The location of the server of the website is geographically in Germany.

7. Revocation of consent

The JC may also collect personal data from other public and non-public bodies or persons, subject to compliance with the statutory requirements. These can be, for example, other social benefit providers, employers, training companies, contracted doctors, measure/education providers, etc. In addition, personal data can also be obtained from public sources such as the Internet, civil registers, commercial registers, land registry offices, etc. However, the principle always applies to first collect the data from the data subject.

9. Automated decision-making

In the course of the placement process, job requirements are automatically matched with the competencies of an applicant in order to enable a precisely fitting placement (so-called matching). The following criteria, among others, are used:

Working hours, places of practice, professions, training positions, entry date, knowledge and skills, language skills, training, fixed-term, fixed-term duration, disability (with consent), school grades, driver's licenses, vehicles (mobility), highest educational qualification, willingness to travel and assemble, weekly hours, work experience, industry, German language skills, company size.

10. Change of purpose

The use of personal data for purposes other than the purpose of collection is only permissible within the scope of the purposes stated in item 3 and provided that the new purpose is compatible with the purpose of collection.

11. Plugins used

We use the plugin operated by Google from YouTube, the YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA and its representative in the Union Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter: Google). We use the plugin from YouTube to embed videos from YouTube on our online presence. When accepting the loading of YouTube videos, your browser establishes a connection with the servers of YouTube. As a result, personal data can be stored and evaluated, especially the user's activity (in particular, which pages have been visited and which elements have been clicked on) as well as device and browser information (in particular, the IP address and operating system).

We use the extended data protection mode to embed the videos. This means that no user activity data is collected to personalize video playback. Instead, video recommendations are based on the actual video. Videos played in enhanced privacy mode do not affect which videos are recommended to a user on YouTube.

We have no control over the content of the plug-in. If you are logged into your YouTube account during the visit, YouTube can assign your online presence visit to this account. By interacting with this plug-in, this corresponding information is transmitted directly to YouTube and stored there.
