§ 19 LinkedIn page

LinkedIn is a social network of LinkedIn Inc. based in Sunnyvale, California, USA, which enables the creation of private and professional profiles of natural persons and company profiles. Users can maintain their existing contacts and make new ones within the social network. Companies and other organizations can create profiles where photos and other company information can be uploaded in order to present themselves as employers and recruit employees. Other LinkedIn users have access to this information and can write their own articles and share this content with others. The focus of the network is on professional exchange on specialist topics with people who have the same professional interests. 

When using or visiting the network, LinkedIn automatically collects data from users or visitors during their use or visit, such as user name, job title and IP address. This is done with the help of various tracking technologies. LinkedIn provides users with information, offers and recommendations based on the data collected in this way, among other things. 

We only collect your data via our company profile in order to realize a possible provision for communication and interaction with us. This collection generally includes your name, message content, comment content and the profile information you provide "publicly". 

The processing of your personal data for the above-mentioned purposes is based on our legitimate business and communicative interest in offering an information and communication channel in accordance with Art. 6 GDPR. 

para. 1 f GDPR. If you as a user have given your consent to data processing to the respective provider of the social network, the legal basis for processing extends to Art. 6 para. 1 a, Art. 7 GDPR. 

Due to the fact that the actual data processing is carried out by the provider of the social network, our access options to your data are limited. Only the provider of the social network is authorized to have full access to your data. As a result, only the provider can directly take and implement appropriate measures to fulfill your user rights (request for information, request for deletion, objection, etc.). The most effective way to assert your rights is therefore to contact the respective provider directly. 

We are jointly responsible with LinkedIn for the personal content of our company profile. Data subject rights can be asserted with LinkedIn Inc. as well as with us. 

We do not make any decisions regarding the data collected on the LinkedIn site using tracking technologies.
