When you create a CV or apply for a job
Purpose

We only collect and process your personal data in order to be able to fulfil our tasks, including job placement, temp services, recruiting and selection. More specifically, we process your personal data in order to be able to: 

1. Send you offers and/or information about our services and other activities as well as to coordinate these with your requirements and qualifications, conducted by our employees.

2. Assessment of your suitability or availability as to job placement in permanent or temporary positions, possibly including test results, reference evaluation etc.

What personal data do we collect?
We process the personal data, which you enter by means of the website as well as the information in your CV and possibly related documents, primarily:

JKS app
Usually it is necessary to download the "JKS Time" app to register working hours. This is typically done by manually entering your work hours. In some cases, a punch clock function is used, which utilizes your phone's location to confirm that you are checking in/out at the correct location. Therefore, you need to allow your phone to use “Location Service” when using the app. Your GPS position is not stored but is only used at the moment you check in or out. The personal data you provide in the app will be processed in the same way as any other personal data.

Transfer of personal data
Once we match your wishes and competences with job vacancies, your personal data will be transferred to the company with a relevant job. The company will then continue to process your personal data for employment purposes. If you apply for jobs within the hotel, restaurant and canteen industry, we may choose to transfer your data to Assistance HR Partners A/S, owned 100% by JKS, in order to increase you job options, since Assistance HR Partners A/S is specialised within this industry. 

Legal basis
The legal basis for processing and transferring your personal data is article 6,1, f) of the GDPR – also referred to as the balancing of interest regulation. The legitimate interest pursued is the wish to match the right temps with the right jobs. The legal basis for acquiring references is also article 6, 1, f) and the interest here is to confirm the information acquired during the recruiting process.

Retention period
Your personal data is stored as long as relevant, meaning as long as relevant jobs are possible. You can at all times request your personal data to be deleted and in most cases, you can do it yourself.
