This applies in particular to the use of interactive functions (e.g., sharing, rating, commenting).

Legal basis for use

The use of the LinkedIn page and the associated processing of personal data by us is based on our legitimate interests and, in the case of actions you take on our fan page (e.g., posting, liking, etc.), on your voluntary consent through the use of our offer.

Data processed by LinkedIn

The LinkedIn page is an online presence within the LinkedIn platform, which is offered by LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland (hereinafter "LinkedIn"). This means that LinkedIn is the data controller responsible for the processing of personal data on the LinkedIn platform as described below.

Information about which data is processed by LinkedIn and for what purposes can be found in LinkedIn's privacy policy: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy?trk=homepage-basic_footer-privacy-policy

We have no influence on the type and scope of data processed by LinkedIn, the type of processing and use, or the transfer of this data to third parties. Nor does it have any effective means of control in this regard. Likewise, we have no knowledge of the content of your data transmitted to LinkedIn and cannot provide any information about what data about you is stored through your use of the LinkedIn service.

When you use LinkedIn, your personal data is collected, transferred, stored, disclosed and used by LinkedIn Corporation. LinkedIn transfers your data to the United States. Further information is available on the following LinkedIn Help pages: https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin

You can view and download your own data on LinkedIn by going to your account navigation under "Settings and privacy" in the "Privacy" tab under "How LinkedIn uses your data" or at https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/member-data Information about LinkedIn's comprehensive data collection and other privacy settings can be found at: http://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy

You can find the option to disable interest-based advertising (not advertising in general) here: https://www.linkedin.com/mypreferences/g/guest-retargeting-opt-out

You also have the option of contacting LinkedIn with any questions about the privacy policy or user agreement via the LinkedIn contact form or via LinkedIn's responsible branch in Ireland: Online contact form. https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/ask/PPQ

You can request LinkedIn to delete some of your personal data (for example, if the provision of services to you is no longer necessary) using the contact details above. However, there are also uses of data that you cannot influence via the settings. If you fundamentally disagree with such use, your only option is to close your account: https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/account-management/close-submit If you are resident in one of the designated countries of the GDPR, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Irish Data Protection Commissioner.

Data processed by us

We also process your data. We do not collect any data about your LinkedIn account ourselves. However, we do process the data you enter on LinkedIn, in particular your username and the content published under your account, insofar as we may share or comment on your posts or write posts that refer to your account. The data you freely publish and distribute on LinkedIn is thus included in our offering and made available to its visitors. Furthermore, as the provider of our LinkedIn page, we do not collect or process any personal data from your use of our service. The page is used exclusively for information and communication purposes.

Joint controlling and data subject rights

We are jointly responsible with LinkedIn for certain processing of personal data of users of the LinkedIn page and have entered into a special agreement with LinkedIn for this purpose. This concerns the use of data collected by LinkedIn to provide it in anonymised form in statistics to the operators of LinkedIn pages. Further information on which data is included in the statistics can be found in the above-mentioned agreement.

This agreement also stipulates that LinkedIn is primarily responsible for data processing and that we do not have access to individual user data, but can only retrieve aggregated statistics, such as gender or age distribution. Furthermore, LinkedIn undertakes to observe the rights of data subjects and, for example, to respond to requests for information, objection or deletion. To exercise your rights as a data subject (see below), please contact LinkedIn directly regarding the processing of your data by LinkedIn. The joint controlling agreement concluded with LinkedIn stipulates that the Irish Data Protection Commission is the authority responsible for supervising the processing under joint responsibility. Visitors to the LinkedIn page have the right to lodge a complaint with the Irish Data Protection Commission in addition to the supervisory authority responsible for us.

Transfer of personal data to third parties / third countries

We do not disclose your personal data to third parties. However, please note that any data you enter on our website is visible to all visitors. If you do not want this to happen, you can use alternative means of contacting us.

Personal data may also be transferred to the US or other third countries. According to LinkedIn, these data transfers are necessary in order to provide the services described and to operate globally.

LinkedIn transfers European data on the basis of standard data protection clauses, but reserves the right to use alternative transfer options recognised by the GDPR (e.g., adequacy decisions). For more information on standard data protection clauses, please visit: https://de.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy?trk=homepage-basic_footer-privacy-policy

Your rights as a data subject

We hereby inform you that, under applicable data protection law, you have the right to obtain from us information about your personal data, as well as the right to rectification or erasure or restriction of processing, the right to object to processing, and the right to data portability, under the conditions defined therein. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you violates this regulation. If the processing is based on your consent, you also have the right to withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of your consent until withdrawal.
