When you visit our LinkedIn company profile, LinkedIn also sets cookies on your device. Cookies are small files that are stored on a visitor's device (e.g. computer or smartphone).

Regarding further information on the use of cookies by LinkedIn, we refer to LinkedIn's cookie policy at https://de.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy.

3.4 Your profile, contact requests and contributions
For us as operators of a LinkedIn company profile, only your public profile on LinkedIn is visible. What information is viewable there depends on your settings in your profile. In addition, we process your personal data (such as your name and the content of your messages, inquiries or other contributions to us or on our site) when you contact us via our LinkedIn company profile.

We process this data for the purpose of processing your contributions accordingly or, if necessary, responding to them. This processing is based - depending on the reason for and content of the conversation - either on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR, in particular in order to be able to contact you in response to your inquiries or contributions, or on Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR, if your inquiry is aimed at concluding a contract with us.

3.5 Page Insights
In addition, LinkedIn provides us with Page Insights. When you as a member visit, follow or otherwise interact with our LinkedIn company profile, LinkedIn processes personal data to provide us with Page Insights. In particular, LinkedIn processes data that you have provided as a LinkedIn member, such as your position in the company, country, industry, duration or your employment with the company, company size and employment status. In addition, LinkedIn processes information about how you interact with our LinkedIn company profile, e.g. whether you follow our profile.

LinkedIn only provides us with aggregated, i.e. anonymized, data as part of Page Insights. LinkedIn does not provide us with any personal data of members in the Page Insights - regardless of the status as joint controller. LinkedIn also does not enable us to link the information from Page Insights to individual members.

This data processing is based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR, in particular in order to recognize usage preferences (e.g. number of so-called followers, number of views of individual page areas, user statistics by age, geography and language) and to be able to adapt and improve the offer on our LinkedIn company profile as closely as possible to the target group.

4. Transfer of personal data to third countries

Some of the information collected may also be processed outside the European Union by LinkedIn in the U.S. The U.S. are currently considered by the European Commission as a country that does not have an adequate level of protection for personal data. To ensure an adequate level of data protection, LinkedIn bases such transfers on Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission. For more information, please visit https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/62533. However, it is possible that authorities in the U.S., including law enforcement and intelligence agencies, may access or otherwise become aware of your personal data and you may not have a legal remedy for this.

5. Data deletion and archiving

We store your personal data on our systems, i.e. outside LinkedIn, if and as long as it is required for the purposes of collection or if there are legal retention obligations.
