Data protection information for visitors of our LinkedIn page

The purpose of data processing in connection with our LinkedIn page is to provide information about our company, our products and services and to enable users to interact with us in a targeted manner. The legal basis for this type of data processing is article 6, section 1, letter f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is, in particular, the business interest to share information with users and to be able to communicate with them.
Data is only passed on to authorities if overriding legal provisions apply.
Where images of persons are published, this will only take place with their consent (legal basis: article 6, section 1, letter a GDPR) based on a contractual arrangement (legal basis: article 6, section 1, letter b GDPR) and in exceptional cases based on legitimate interests (legal basis: article 6, section 1, letter f GDPR in conjunction with section 23, paragraph 1, no. 3 of the German Art Copyright Act (Kunsturhebergesetz)).

We advertise on LinkedIn and we use insight data provided by LinkedIn for analysing the behaviour of our target group and users in the context of their interaction with our page. Target-group based advertising control is a legitimate interest of our company. Users of LinkedIn are informed about this; LinkedIn has the main responsibility for data collection. An agreement about joint responsibility has been concluded with LinkedIn. There are no overriding, protection-worthy opposing interests of the users (displaying customised advertising optimised for the target group). The legal basis that applies for us here is article 6, section 1, letter f GDPR in conjunction with the shared responsibility. The agreement regarding joint responsibility can be found here:
legal.linkedin.com/pages-joint-controller-addendum. If you contact us to assert your data subject rights, we are going to refer you to LinkedIn, as provided for in the agreement.

It cannot be ruled out that user data will be processed using systems outside the European Union. LinkedIn has undertaken to comply with the EU data protection standards. Data will only be transferred to systems outside the EU, if the requirements of article 44 et seq. are met. More information is available here: https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/62533?trk=microsites-frontend_legal_privacy-policy&lang=de

You can exercise your right of access, rectification and erasure of data at any time. Just contact us as outlined above. If you would like for your data to be erased, while we are still legally bound to retain it, access to your data will be restricted (blocked). The same rule applies in case of an objection. You can exercise your right of data portability, provided that this is technically possible for us and the recipient.
As far as your rights have to be asserted against LinkedIn, we are going to pass on your concern to LinkedIn. Further information about exercising your data subject rights towards LinkedIn is available in item 4.2 of LinkedIn’s privacy policy:
https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy?trk=homepage-basic_footer-privacy-policy.

You may submit a complaint to a data protection authority at any time.

The application process cannot be handled without your correct details. We may not be able to consider your application as part of an ongoing process, if you fail to provide such data.

We reserve the right to adjust the content of this data protection statement at any time. This is usually the case when the services used are adjusted or developed further. You can view the latest version of the data protection statement on our website at any time.
