Once you have registered, you may add various other personal information to your profile and upload documents such as CV and certificates to complete it. Any additional information is provided voluntarily. Your data will be processed accordingly on the basis of your consent.

We use your required and voluntary additional information exclusively for purposes of providing the job portal and its functionalities. This also applies to data that you enter in the uploaded documents. You may define the visibility of your data in the settings of your profile. If you share your information as part of an application or make it publicly visible in your profile, we will transmit it accordingly or present it in such a way that it can be viewed by these users.

If you apply for a job posting via the application function of the portal, we will send your application documents to the respective employer. In all other cases, the data is collected directly via a frame by the employer or the service provider used for the candidate search.

As a rule, the legal basis for the processing of your data is the necessity to fulfill our contractual obligations. If you submit an application independently, the legal basis consists of your consent to share your data.

5. Resume review

You can upload your resume to JobLeads; it will be saved on our site until you remove it or your account is deleted. Your resume is stored at JobLeads subject to your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

Resumes in German and English

Upon your consent, we will share your resume in German or English, your first and last name, and your email address with TopCV or TopResume for a free analysis (i.e., CV review).

The results of the reviews are hosted and displayed in an iframe on the job portal. TopCV’s or TopResume’s free resume review is conducted in accordance with Talent Worldwide’s Terms of Use and is in line with Talent Worldwide’s own responsibilities under data protection law. Further information on data privacy and protection at Talent Worldwide is available here.

Resumes in other languages

The free analysis of your resume in another language is supported by one of our data processors. Your data will be transferred to the USA on the basis of the standard contractual clauses during this process. Your data will be deleted by our data processor immediately after the review and will not be stored. You will be able to see the review results in our job portal.

6. Resume optimization with third-party AI technology

After uploading your resume, we offer you the chance to have AI tools analyze its match potential with suitable job openings and for you to receive advice on how to optimize the presentation of your applicant profile. Data will also be extracted from your resume to generate a new document optimized for a suitable job opening and to improve our CV review and optimization services. This improvement process may include training specialized language models via an API solution, using your data temporarily to enhance our optimization algorithms. However, this training data will be deleted after use and will not be retained by our API providers or used to train their general-purpose large language models. Depending on the best expected results for your specific needs as our customer, we will therefore transmit your resume to one of our data processors via an interface.

11. Email notifications/Newsletters

An essential component of our services offered on the job portal is to notify you of interesting job opportunities. If you register, we will also use your email address to send you email notifications and newsletters informing you about suitable job opportunities and services offered by JobLeads. You can unsubscribe from these notifications at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link at the bottom of each newsletter and in the notification settings in the “My Account” section of your account. You will not incur any additional costs. To the extent required for the processing of services offered on the job portal and for the provision of information about our own range of services, the legal basis for the processing of your data is our legitimate interest in maintaining and expanding existing usage arrangements.

12. Participation in surveys

You may complete surveys aimed at helping us improve the use of our services. We shall process your responses to the respective questions with this aim in mind. Participation in the surveys is voluntary and based on your consent granted in accordance with Section 25 (1) of the New German Telecommunications-Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDSG) in conjunction with our legitimate interest in gaining knowledge about the use of our platform in line with Art. 6 (1) (f) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

13. Google Maps

On our website, we use the map service Google Maps (API) from Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google") to show our location.

When you enter the page on which the Google map is integrated, our website sends various pieces of information including your IP address to Google USA where they will be stored on its servers. If you have a Google Account and are logged in at the time you visit our site, the information will be associated directly with your account. But even without a user account, Google will create a user profile about you. This happens regardless of whether Google provides a user account that you are logged in to or no such user account exists.

Our transfer of data to Google supports our legitimate interest in offering you the map function of Google Maps on our website.

You can prevent the linking of the data we transmit to your user account by logging out of Google before you visit our website. To completely stop the data transfer to Google, you have to switch off the JavaScript application in your browser. The map display can then no longer be used.

More information about Google and the use of Google Maps can be found here:

• Google Terms of Service: http://www.google.de/intl/en/policies/terms/regional.html
• Terms of use for Google Maps: https://www.google.com/intl/en_US/help/terms_maps.html
• Google Privacy Policy: http://www.google.de/intl/en/policies/privacy/

14. Google Fonts

The website www.jobleads.company uses so-called web fonts from Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”) to display fonts.

When a page is loaded, your browser loads the requisite web fonts into your browser in order to display texts and fonts correctly. To do so, the browser you use connects to Google’s servers and then tells Google that our website was accessed via your IP address.

Google Fonts are used in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our website. If your browser does not support Google Fonts or web fonts, a standard font from your terminal device will be used.

Further information on Google Fonts and the Google Privacy Policy can be found at the following online addresses:
https://fonts.google.com/

15. Sentry

To permanently improve our performance, we constantly analyze our systems for errors and weak points. To do this we also use the Sentry service of Functional Software, Inc., 132 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, California, USA ("Sentry"). When an error occurs, information is sent to Sentry, including the user who has encountered the error. As a rule, only one user ID is sent, but under certain circumstances the following data can also be transmitted to Sentry, some of which may also have personal reference:

• Browser type / version
• Operating system / version
• Retrieved data volume

We thus also collect data on usage behavior when you visit our website and evaluate it for this purpose.

The tracking and analysis cookies listed below are also used on our websites.

1. Google (Universal) Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service by Google. Using a cookie, Google collects information about your use of this website (including your IP address) in the USA and stores this information. We use Google Analytics exclusively using an anonymization feature. This means that, before transmitting it, Google will shorten the IP address of users within member states of the European Union or in other countries that are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in rare cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Analyzing the information collected, Google sends us reports on usage activities on our website while providing us with additional services for this purpose. The IP address transmitted by your browser via Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

In addition to your browser blocking all cookies, you can prevent Google from processing your data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en

As an alternative to the browser plug-in or within browsers on mobile devices, please click on the following link to set an opt-out cookie that will prevent Google Analytics from collecting information from this website in the future. This opt-out cookie only works in this browser and only for this domain. If you want to delete your cookies in this browser, you must click the link again: Disable Google Analytics.

Further information on Google Analytics can be found in the Google Privacy Policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en

2. Google AdWords

Our website uses Google’s AdWords advertising tool including its conversion and remarketing function.

The remarketing tool allows us to display targeted advertising on other websites you visit. For this purpose, Google analyses your use of our website and stores a corresponding ID in your browser. This ID allows us to assign you to a specific user group and to recognize you when you visit websites that are part of Google’s advertising network. These websites can then display advertisements related to your use of our website. During this process, Google does not collect any personal data; you are assigned to a specific user group exclusively through your browser. The collected data is stored and processed in the USA.

We use conversion tracking to determine how successful advertising for our services is on other websites. To do this, a conversion cookie is set when you click on one of our ads. We use this cookie to recognize that you came to our site through this ad. With such usage statistics, we create statistics to evaluate the conversion of our ads. We do not obtain any personal information. The conversion cookie that is set in your browser is unique and cannot be used by other Google AdWords customers for their statistics.

You can prevent remarketing by deactivating the function at https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin.
Further information on the Google Privacy Policy is available on the following websites:
https://policies.google.com/privacy
https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/7664943

3. Doubleclick

JobLeads also uses Google’s Doubleclick service. As part of this service, a cookie is set and a pseudonymous identification number (ID) is assigned to your browser. The cookie determines whether and which advertisements were displayed and clicked in your browser. This enables us to tailor your advertising even closer to your interests. Since we have activated Google’s IP anonymization on this website, your IP address is also shortened within the scope of Doubleclick before being transmitted by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area and only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to Google in the USA and only shortened there. Analyzing the information it collects, Google sends us reports on usage activities on our website while providing us with additional services for this purpose. The IP address transmitted by your browser via Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

In addition to the above-mentioned general options for preventing cookies, you can also prevent Google from saving the Doubleclick cookie by downloading a browser plugin. It is available here.

4. Facebook Custom Audience

We use Facebook pixels on our websites. This pertains to the function of a web analysis service provided by Facebook. Facebook pixels are invisible graphic files built into our website. When you visit our website, information from the pixel is stored in your browser. This enables us to track which of our subpages you have visited. We share this information with Facebook to better match our ads there to your real interests and to analyze the effectiveness of our ads on Facebook. Depending on your use of our website, Facebook assigns you to certain groups of interested parties known as custom audiences. The information generated by the cookies are usually transferred to a Facebook server in the USA and stored there. Further information on how Facebook’s tracking pixel captures data is available at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/ or at https://business.facebook.com/pixels/tos/.

We have no control over Facebook’s data processing operations. Facebook uses the data for purposes of advertising, market research and offerings optimization. These activities are governed by Facebook’s Privacy Policy. It should be noted that the use of such a tracking procedure makes possible the identification of users via numerous websites. You can deactivate this function in your Facebook account settings for all the devices you use: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads. For further information, please refer to Facebook’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.

5. LinkedIn Insight tag

On our website we also use the Insight tag provided by the LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, represented by LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland (“LinkedIn”). By doing this, a cookie is placed on your browser that allows for the collection of various data when accessing our website. Your IP address will also be collected and sent to LinkedIn. If you are an active member of LinkedIn, more information from your profile might be added.

The data is first encrypted at LinkedIn and anonymized within 7 days. LinkedIn does not share personal data with us, but only provides general reports on the use of our website. The data can also be used by LinkedIn for retargeting. This allows us to review the success of our advertising campaigns.

The anonymized data will be deleted by LinkedIn after 90 days. As a LinkedIn member, you can prevent LinkedIn from processing data to display ads in your account settings. Click on the following link to opt out of LinkedIn Retargeting:
https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls/retargeting-opt-out

Further information on how LinkedIn processes data is available in its privacy policy https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy#choices and in its cookie policy https://www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy.

Irrespective of this, you can generally object to the use of such cookies via various third-party sites, e.g.:

• Network advertising initiative: (http://optout.networkadvertising.org/)
• AboutAds: (http://www.aboutads.info/choices)
• YourOnlineChoices: (http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/)

The legal basis of our data processing activities for analytical purposes is our legitimate interest in obtaining a statistical analysis of your user activities in order to improve services and marketing of our website on an ongoing basis.

During your visit to our website, data processing for usage analysis only occurs until the time you withdraw your consent.

6. Bing Ads/Universal Event Tracking

Our website uses the Universal Event Tracking (UET) service of Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited, One Microsoft Place, South County Business Park, Leopardstown, Dublin 18, Ireland.

UET is a mechanism that allows us to notify Microsoft Advertising of user activity on our website after a user has clicked on our ad. It enables us to determine the effectiveness of our advertising. According to Microsoft, no personal information on the user’s identity is shared in this process.

Should you wish to opt out of UET, you can, for example, use your browser’s controls to define the extent to which the websites you visit may use cookies, and you can revoke consent by deleting or blocking cookies.
