We process personal data exclusively within the scope of legal requirements (GDPR). Information submitted via the contact form is used solely to handle your request.

Controller: Jahnke Fachkräftevermittlung GmbH, Königstr. 56, 42929 Wermelskirchen · [email protected]

Applicant data and sharing with employers: When you apply to us – via the applicant form on this website, a personal application link or a link provided by a partner – we process the details you provide for the purpose of job placement. This includes in particular name, contact details, date of birth, nationality, place of residence, information on language skills, qualifications, education and work experience, residence and visa status, as well as documents you upload (e.g. CV, references, language certificates, passport) and, if you provide it, a photo. With your explicit consent, we share this information and these documents with potential employers in Germany in order to place you in a suitable position. Recipients are exclusively companies that may be considered as employers for you. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you can withdraw at any time with effect for the future – informally by email to [email protected]. Your data is stored for up to 12 months after the last contact or until your withdrawal and is then deleted unless statutory retention obligations apply. Providing the data is voluntary; however, without the required information placement is not possible.

AI-assisted processing: To support our placement work, our internal system uses AI services provided by Anthropic Ireland Limited (Ireland; processing also takes place on servers in the USA). The following data may be processed in this context: your application documents such as CV, certificates and language certificates, to check them for completeness and usability; your application photo, solely to check whether it meets our photo guidelines – there is no assessment of you as a person or of your appearance, and no biometric analysis; your messages to us, for translation, categorisation and the preparation of draft replies; your profile data, to prepare official application forms (drafts), to help interpret correspondence from authorities and for internal look-ups in our system. Identity documents (passport, ID card) are not transmitted to Anthropic; they are read exclusively on our own systems in Germany. Anthropic deletes the transmitted data and the generated results within 30 days; where a violation of its usage policies is suspected, Anthropic may retain data for up to two years. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of the placement relationship) and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (our legitimate interest in efficient and careful processing). A data processing agreement (Art. 28 GDPR) is in place with Anthropic; transfers to the USA are safeguarded by the EU standard contractual clauses, and Anthropic does not use the data to train AI models. Every AI analysis is a suggestion that our staff review. All decisions about your application and placement are made by a human being – no automated decision-making within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR takes place.

Communication via Telegram: Applicants may voluntarily communicate with us and submit documents via the Telegram messenger. Telegram (Telegram Messenger Inc.) processes your message and connection data under its own responsibility and privacy policy. Use is optional – you can always reach us by email or via the form on this website. Content you send us via Telegram is added to your application file (legal basis: your consent or the initiation of the placement relationship, Art. 6(1)(a) and (b) GDPR).

Communication via WhatsApp: You may contact us voluntarily via WhatsApp. The provider is WhatsApp Ireland Limited (Ireland), a company of the Meta group; WhatsApp processes your message and connection data under its own responsibility and privacy policy, and data may also be transferred to the USA. Use is optional – you can always reach us by email, by phone or via the form on this website. We use content you send us via WhatsApp to handle your request and, where necessary, add it to your file (legal basis: your consent or the initiation of a contractual relationship, Art. 6(1)(a) and (b) GDPR).

Hosting and technical infrastructure: This website and our systems run on servers of Hetzner Online GmbH (Germany) and on our own hardware in Germany; a data processing agreement (Art. 28 GDPR) is in place with Hetzner. When you visit the website, technically necessary server logs are generated (including IP address, time, page accessed), stored briefly to ensure operation and analyse errors (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). For secured connections between our systems we use tunnelling services of Cloudflare, Inc. (USA) as a processor; transmission is transport-encrypted throughout and safeguarded by the EU standard contractual clauses. Backups of our systems are stored encrypted on servers in Germany.

Email communication (Microsoft 365): Our mailboxes are hosted with Microsoft 365 (Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited, One Microsoft Place, South County Business Park, Leopardstown, Dublin 18, Ireland). When you send us an email or we reply to you, your email address and the content and attachments of the message are processed there. A data processing agreement (Art. 28 GDPR) is in place with Microsoft; any transfer to third countries is safeguarded by the EU standard contractual clauses.

Your rights: You have the right to access, rectification, erasure and restriction of the processing of your data, to data portability, and to withdraw consent you have given with effect for the future. You may also lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority; the authority responsible for us is the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of North Rhine-Westphalia. To exercise your rights, an informal message to [email protected] is sufficient.

Web analytics (Umami): This website uses Umami, a self-hosted, privacy-friendly analytics tool – no cookies, no IP storage and no cross-site tracking. No consent is required; data is processed on our own server in Germany (analytics.damntools.de). Requests to this server are routed through the network of Cloudflare, Inc. (USA), which we use as a processor to protect the server against attacks; for technical reasons Cloudflare processes your IP address in the process. Transmission is encrypted and safeguarded by the EU standard contractual clauses.

Booking a call (Calendly): On the contact page you can book a call directly via Calendly. The provider is Calendly LLC (USA). The calendar only loads when you click “Open the calendar and pick a time”; until then no data is sent to Calendly. When it loads, Calendly receives your IP address and information about your browser for technical reasons and may set cookies. If you book an appointment, Calendly processes the details you enter there (such as name, email address, preferred time and notes) and passes them on to us to prepare the call. The legal basis for loading the calendar is your consent given by clicking (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, Section 25(1) TDDDG); for the booking itself it is the preparation of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). Calendly is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by not opening the calendar again and deleting Calendly cookies in your browser. Further information: calendly.com/privacy.

Lead list / informational emails: When you request our guide or sign up for information, we process your email address, optionally your name and company, the time of sign-up, your IP address at sign-up and your confirmation status. Sign-up uses the double opt-in procedure: after registering you receive an email with a confirmation link, and only after clicking it is your address added and the requested information sent. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw your consent at any time – informally by email to [email protected] or via the unsubscribe link in every email. Your data is stored until you withdraw.

Email delivery (Amazon SES): For the technical delivery of our emails (sign-up confirmation, informational and follow-up emails) we use Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) provided by Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL, 38 Avenue John F. Kennedy, L-1855 Luxembourg. Delivery runs via the AWS data centre in the EU region Stockholm (eu-north-1). The email address as well as the subject and content of each message are processed. A data processing agreement (Art. 28 GDPR) is in place with AWS; any transfer to third countries is safeguarded by the EU standard contractual clauses.
