Privacy & Cookies

Definitions (a) “Company” refers to JCR Lanscaping a legally registered entity. (b) “GDPR” stands for the General Data Protection Regulation. (c) “Register of Systems” is a compilation of all systems or contexts within which personal data is handled by the Company.

Data Protection Principles

The Company is dedicated to handling data in alignment with its obligations under the GDPR. Article 5 of the GDPR mandates that personal data must be:

1. Handled lawfully, fairly, and transparently concerning individuals;

2. Collected for specific, clear, and legitimate reasons and not further processed in a way that contradicts those reasons; processing for archiving in the public interest, scientific or historical research, or statistical purposes is not considered to contradict the initial reasons;

3. Sufficient, relevant, and limited to what is necessary for the purposes they serve;

4. Accurate and, if necessary, updated; every effort should be made to ensure that any personal data that are inaccurate, considering the purposes for which they are processed, are either removed or corrected promptly;

5. Stored in a manner that allows for the identification of individuals for no more than the necessary period for the purposes for which the data are processed; personal data may be retained for longer durations, provided they are processed solely for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research, or statistical purposes, subject to the implementation of the appropriate technical and organizational measures required by the GDPR to protect the rights and freedoms of individuals;

6. Processed in a way that ensures the security of personal data, including protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, or damage, through the use of suitable technical or organizational measures.
