you are suitable for a position within JKTech,
or as a sub-consultant for a current or

for further contact with you, then you should
inform JKTech of such and we will respect
your wishes.

JKTech or third parties may process this
information and send it overseas, solely

SECURITY AND QUALITY

complete and/or up-to-date then, you may
ask JKTech to amend it.
