9. Data protection provisions about the application and use of LinkedIn

The controller has integrated components of the LinkedIn Corporationon this website. LinkedIn is a web-based social network that enablesusers with existing business contacts to connect and to make newbusiness contacts. Over 400 million registered people in more than 200countries use LinkedIn. Thus, LinkedIn is currently the largest platformfor business contacts and one of the most visited websites in theworld.

The operating company of LinkedIn is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029Stierlin Court Mountain View, CA 94043, UNITED STATES. For privacymatters outside of the UNITED STATES LinkedIn Ireland, Privacy PolicyIssues, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland, is responsible.

With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internetsite, which is operated by the controller and on which a LinkedIncomponent (LinkedIn plug-in) was integrated, the Internet browser on theinformation technology system of the data subject is automaticallyprompted to the download of a display of the corresponding LinkedIncomponent of LinkedIn. Further information about the LinkedIn plug-inmay be accessed under https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins. During thecourse of this technical procedure, LinkedIn gains knowledge of whatspecific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in at the same time on LinkedIn,LinkedIn detects with every call-up to our website by the datasubject—and for the entire duration of their stay on our Internetsite—which specific sub-page of our Internet page was visited by thedata subject. This information is collected through the LinkedIncomponent and associated with the respective LinkedIn account of thedata subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the LinkedIn buttonsintegrated on our website, then LinkedIn assigns this information to thepersonal LinkedIn user account of the data subject and stores thepersonal data.

LinkedIn receives information via the LinkedIn component that thedata subject has visited our website, provided that the data subject islogged in at LinkedIn at the time of the call-up to our website. Thisoccurs regardless of whether the person clicks on the LinkedIn button ornot. If such a transmission of information to LinkedIn is not desirablefor the data subject, then he or she may prevent this by logging offfrom their LinkedIn account before a call-up to our website is made.

LinkedIn provides under https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls the possibility tounsubscribe from e-mail messages, SMS messages and targeted ads, as wellas the ability to manage ad settings. LinkedIn also uses affiliatessuch as Eire, Google Analytics, BlueKai, DoubleClick, Nielsen, Comscore,Eloqua, and Lotame. The setting of such cookies may be denied under https://www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy. The applicable privacypolicy for LinkedIn is available under https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy. The LinkedIn CookiePolicy is available under https://www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy.

10. Legal basis for the processing

Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processingoperations for which we obtain consent for a specific processingpurpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for theperformance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is thecase, for example, when processing operations are necessary for thesupply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is basedon Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processingoperations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractualmeasures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our productsor services. Is our company subject to a legal obligation by whichprocessing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment oftax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR.In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary toprotect the vital interests of the data subject or of another naturalperson. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injuredin our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vitalinformation would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or otherthird party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. dGDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. fGDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are notcovered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing isnecessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by ourcompany or by a third party, except where such interests are overriddenby the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subjectwhich require protection of personal data. Such processing operationsare particularly permissible because they have been specificallymentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimateinterest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of thecontroller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

11. The legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. fGDPR our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor ofthe well-being of all our employees and the shareholders.

12. Period for which the personal data will be stored

The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal datais the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of thatperiod, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is nolonger necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiationof a contract.

13. Provision of personal data as statutory or contractualrequirement; Requirement necessary to enter into a contract; Obligationof the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequencesof failure to provide such data

We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner).

Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company signs a contract with him or her. The non-provision of the personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded.

Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact any employee. The employee clarifies to the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the consequences of non-provision of the personal data.

14. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
