For any questions regarding data protection on LinkedIn, feel free to contact us or LinkedIn at any time using the contact details above.
2 Purpose and legal basis
We process your data on the basis of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Belgian Act of 30 July 2018 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data, and all other laws relevant to us in terms of data protection.
2.1 Company presentation and communication
We use our LinkedIn channel to communicate with our customers, prospects and users and to inform them about our range of services. The purposes of data processing are the presentation of our company and interaction with users of the network. In this context, we may receive further information, e.g. as a result of user comments, private messages or because you follow us or share our content.
The legal basis for data processing is our legitimate interest in a company presentation, information provision and communication (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR), as well as the implementation of pre-contractual measures with interested parties (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR).
In case the data subject objects to data processing, we delete our own posts. The storage of data beyond this is subject to the rules of LinkedIn. You can adjust your privacy settings on LinkedIn at any time. Further information on data processing by LinkedIn and on the setting and objection options can be found in the LinkedIn Privacy Policy.
2.2 HR marketing
We also use LinkedIn for the purpose of recruitment. Based on the published information, we search for candidates for our vacancies and address them specifically as part of the personnel search.
The processing of users' personal data is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in an optimized company presentation (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR), as well as on the basis of the implementation of pre-contractual measures with interested parties (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR). Further information on the processing of applicant data by us can be found in our data protection notice for job applicants.
Information on data processing by LinkedIn and on the settings and objection options can be found in the LinkedIn Privacy Policy.
2.3 Insights and analytics data
In connection with the operation of our LinkedIn channel, we use the analysis functions provided there to obtain statistical evaluations of the users of our channel.
For this purpose, cookies and similar technologies such as pixels are used by LinkedIn when visiting our channel, and a unique user code is created. This user code can be linked to the data of those users who are registered with LinkedIn. The information stored on the user code is processed by LinkedIn, in particular when the user accesses these services.
The legal basis for the processing of data after interaction with the content of our LinkedIn profile is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR in the event of consent by the users, which they may have given to LinkedIn. Information on data processing by LinkedIn and on the settings and objection options can be found in the LinkedIn Privacy Policy.
3 Recipients of personal data
We will only pass on your data to third parties if this should become necessary for the fulfilment of the purpose. Furthermore, data may be passed on to authorities on the basis of legal provisions in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (c) and (e) GDPR.
In addition, in various cases we engage processors in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR, who may receive data from us or have access to your data in connection with their service. In this context, data transfers outside the EU may also take place. In doing so, we make sure that there is either an EU adequacy decision for the destination country in question in accordance with Art. 45 GDPR or that we have concluded a contract with the service providers concerned on the basis of the standard data protection clauses in accordance with Art. 46 (2) (c) GDPR (https://commission.europa.eu/publications/standard-contractual-clauses-international-transfers_en).
Since the parent company of LinkedIn is based in the United States of America, there is a possibility that LinkedIn may also process some of the information collected in the United States. LinkedIn is certified according to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework to ensure an appropriate level of data protection.
