In accordance with LinkedIn’s Terms of Use , which each user has agreed to as part of creating a LinkedIn profile, we may identify subscribers to the page and view their profiles and other information shared by them. For example, your LinkedIn name and profile picture will be visible to us (and other LinkedIn users) when you visit our page or comment on our posts. We therefore only collect the personal data that has become an obvious part of our LinkedIn page through corresponding cooperation on your part.

However, when you visit our LinkedIn page, LinkedIn collects and processes various usage data about your visit each time you visit it. This includes the usual log file data, such as IP address, which screen resolution you use, etc., but your use of the services is also tracked as part of the provision of the special LinkedIn services. This tracking captures, for example, viewing/clicking on content or ads, performing a search, sharing articles or applying for a job via LinkedIn. LinkedIn uses login credentials, cookies, device information, and IP addresses to identify you and log your usage. LinkedIn also tracks your user behaviour for advertising purposes. More detailed information about what data is collected by LinkedIn for what purpose and on what basis can be found in LinkedIn’s Privacy Policy and also in LinkedIn’s Cookie Policy .

To view content on our LinkedIn page, you do not need to be a LinkedIn member.
If you have created a LinkedIn profile, we can only see the information on your profile that you have made publicly available. In your LinkedIn settings, you can decide which specific information this concerns. For visitors with LinkedIn profiles and subscribers to the page, we also see first and last names, as well as the time of the visit.
In principle, we only store personal data until the respective purpose for which the data was collected has been achieved. In the context of a business relationship with you, for example, we store your personal data that is necessary for the fulfilment of the business relationship for at least as long as the business relationship lasts. This also includes the initiation and processing of a contract as well as the regular limitation period. In addition, we store the data if and to the extent that we are subject to statutory retention obligations. These may arise, for example, from the German Commercial Code (HGB) or the German Fiscal Code (AO).
We do not automatically collect and evaluate profile data from LinkedIn users. We do not carry out automated decision-making, including profiling, as defined by Article 22 GDPR does not apply.
