Personal information is used for taking care of membership service, membership satisfaction and other surveys and membership communication. JAMKO is taking special notice that privacy, personal data protection and good data processing practices of members, clients, and actives are in place.

The personal data is collected mainly from members, customers and actives themselves. JAMKO can also collect data on its www-pages regarding the device of users on its web pages using cookies and other similar techniques like www-analytics. The collected data is in general not given out.

According to data protection laws every person have a right to check and request what data has been stored of him / her. The data request cannot be made by phone but it hast to be written and signed.
