Overview Of Your Rights Under GDPR
PT JAC Indonesia and our related companies in other countries forming the JAC Recruitment Group ("JAC") are committed to protecting the confidentiality of information and privacy of our candidates, clients and other users of our websites and services.
All organisations that process personal data are required to comply with data protection legislation. This includes in particular the Data Protection Act 1998 (or its successor) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (together the 'Data Protection Laws'). The Data Protection Laws give individuals (known as 'data subjects') certain rights over their personal data whilst imposing certain obligations on the organisations that process their data.
JAC considers your right to privacy and the careful handling of your personal data to be extremely important. We make every effort to ensure that the information you provide us with remains private and is only used strictly in accordance with the policy detailed below.
This document provides details regarding JAC's Privacy Policy and the measures taken to ensure that your personal information is managed with due care and attention. The policy will be reviewed from time to time to take into account new laws and technology, changes to our operations and practices and to make sure it remains appropriate to the changing environment. Any information we hold will be governed by the most current version of the JAC Privacy Policy.

The reason that JAC uses your personal information is so that we can provide you with our recruitment services and help you find a new job that might be suitable for you. We use your personal information so that we can understand your skills, experience and qualifications in order to find new job opportunities that match your profile.

Our Legal Bases For Processing Your Data
JAC processes personal data in relation to its own staff and candidates and is a data controller for the purposes of the Data Protection Laws.
JAC will only process personal data where it has a legal basis for doing so:
Consent
JAC requires that you give your consent to the processing of your personal data in relation to JAC's recruitment services. We believe this explicit consent is essential for both JAC and you and ensures both parties clearly understand their rights and the intentions of all involved in the consultation process. This basis for processing is in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR, which states "[you] have given consent to the processing of his/her personal data for one or more specific purposes"
Legitimate Interests
As a recruitment consultancy, it is in both JAC's interest and yours, as a candidate, for JAC to process your information in order to provide you with the most effective and efficient service. This basis for processing is in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, which states "processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by [JAC] or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights or freedoms of [you] which require protection of personal data."
Contract
Whilst JAC does not require a formal contract to be signed by you, the candidate, we believe that there is an agreement between you and JAC for JAC to provide you with recruitment services. This agreement is made explicit after you provide JAC with your personal information for the purposes of JAC providing you with recruitment services and after you provide your consent for JAC to hold and process your information. As such, in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, JAC processes your personal information "for the performance of a contract to which the [you] are party or in order to take steps at the request of [you] prior to entering into a contract".
Disclosure Of Personal Data
JAC may disclose your personal data to third parties:
To introduce you to potential employers (JAC's clients) and so that they can judge your suitability as an applicant for a position within their organisation
To a professional association or registration body that has a legitimate interest in the disclosure of your personal and sensitive information
In order to comply with any requests from regulatory or law enforcement authorities to release such personal data if they so require.
To share your information with other consultants within the JAC group (again, upon gaining your consent) for the purposes of providing you with recruitment services in other locations
To utilise third party service providers who perform functions on our behalf (including external consultants and professional advisers such as lawyers, auditors and accountants, technical support functions and IT consultants carrying out testing and development work on our IT systems) where we have an appropriate processing agreements (or similar protections) in place
Third party outsourced IT and document storage providers where we have an appropriate processingagreements (or similar protections) in place
Marketing technology platforms and suppliers
If JAC Group or its business merges with or is acquired by another business or company, we may share personal information with the new owners of the business or company. You would be sent notice of such event.
Transfer Of Information Internationally
JAC is an international company, headquartered in Japan. Our databases are located in Singapore and Tokyo and as such, upon receipt of your personal information, it will be transferred quickly (and securely) to our systems hosted in either of those two countries. Further, in order to ensure that your data is secure, when we transfer data outside of the EU, we will only transfer to those locations where the target location is compliant with data protection legislation and by means of transfer which have adequate safeguards applied.
In addition, consultants in our UK office may offer to share your information with consultants in another country. In such an event, a UK consultant will contact you to confirm that you consent to having your information shared with another JAC branch.
Management And Security Of Personal Data
JAC takes the responsibility of the management and security of your personal data extremely seriously. And in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation, JAC, acting as a data controller and data processor, follows the key principles of data protection. These require that personal data be:
Processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner;
Collected for specified and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes;
Adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed;
Accurate and kept up to date; every reasonable step is taken to ensure that personal data that are inaccurate, having regard to the purposes for which they are processed, are erased or rectified without delay;
Kept for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data are processed;
Processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the personal data, including protection against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage, using appropriate technical or organisational measures; and that
JAC shall be responsible for, and be able to demonstrate, compliance with the principles.

Your Rights Under GDPR
Under GDPR, the data subject has certain important rights. These include (but are not limited to) the following:
The right for access to data and data portability
You have the right to receive your personal data, which you have provided to us previously, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. Further you have the right to request us to transmit your personal data to another data controller in circumstances where:
Where feasible, JAC will send the personal data to a named third party upon your request.
The processing is based on your consent or a contract; and
The processing is carried out by automated means
The right to have data rectified
You may request JAC to rectify any inaccurate or incomplete personal data concerning yourself. If JAC has given your personal data to any third parties we will tell those third parties that we have received a request to rectify your personal data unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. Those third parties should also rectify the personal data they hold. However, JAC is not in a position to audit those third parties to ensure that the rectification has occurred.
The right to "be forgotten"
This refers to your right to have your personal data completely deleted from our database, including from any third parties who may have access to that data. Further, the request to "be forgotten" must be as easy as it was to give consent.
You may request, at any time, to have your personal data deleted completely from all JAC's databases. Upon receipt of such a request, we will ask you whether you want your personal datato be removed entirely or whether you are happy for your details to be kept on a list of individuals who do not want to be contacted in the future (for a specified period or otherwise). We cannot keep a record of individuals whose data has been erased completely so you may be contacted again by JAC should we come into possession of your personal data at a later date.
If JAC has given the personal data to any third parties, it will tell those third parties that we have received a request to erase the personal data, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. Those third parties should also rectify the personal data they hold. However, JAC is not in a position to audit those third parties to ensure that the rectification has occurred.
It should be noted that where there are legal requirements for JAC to store data for a certain period of time, related to our business, which includes elements of your personal data, we will not be able to delete that data until after the statutory retention period.
The right to restrict the processing of your data
You have the right to ask JAC to restrict its processing of your personal data where:
You challenge the accuracy of the personal data we are storing;
The processing is unlawful but you oppose its erasure;
JAC no longer needs your personal data for the purposes of the processing, but your personal data is required for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; or
You have objected to processing (on the grounds of a public interest or legitimate interest) pending the verification of whether the legitimate grounds of JAC override those of the individual.
If JAC has given your personal data to any third parties we will tell those third parties that we have received a request to restrict the personal data, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. Those third parties should also rectify the personal data they hold. However, JAC is not in a position to audit those third parties to ensure that the rectification has occurred.
The right to lodge a complaint
You have the right to object to your personal data being processed based on a public interest or a legitimate interest. You also can object to the profiling of your data based on a public interest or a legitimate interest.
Upon receiving a claim from you, JAC shall cease processing unless it has compelling legitimate grounds to continue to process the personal data which override the individual's interests, rights and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
You also have the right to object to your personal data being used for direct marketing
The right to object to automated decision making
JAC will not subject individuals to decisions based on automated processing that produce a legal effect or a similarly significant effect on the individual, except where the automated decision:
Is necessary for the entering into or performance of a contract between the data controllerand the individual
Is authorised by law; or
The individual has given their explicit consent.
JAC will not carry out any automated decision-making or profiling using the personal data of a child.
The right to receive damages in the event of a breach of regulations
Under the GDPR, should there be a breach of the regulations and it is judged that that breachhas occurred due to causes within the control of the data controller or data processor, and that the breach has caused material damage, the data subject may be due to receive compensation.
Enforcement Of Rights
All requests regarding individual rights should be sent to the person whose details are listed at the bottom of this policy document. JAC shall act upon any data subject access request, or any request relating to rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability or objection or automated decision making processes or profiling within one month of receipt of the request. JAC may extend this period for two further months where necessary, taking into account the complexity and the number of requests.
Where JAC considers that a request is manifestly unfounded or excessive due to the request's repetitive nature then we may either refuse to act upon the request or may charge a reasonable fee, taking into account the administrative costs involved.
Changes To This Privacy Policy
JAC may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time. We suggest that you visit our website regularly to keep up to date with any changes.
Implementation of Policy
This Policy shall be deemed effective as of 15th May 2018. No part of this Policy shall have retroactive effect and shall thus apply only to matters occurring on or after this date.
