LinkedIn

The person responsible for this website uses the technical platform and services of LinkedIn Corporation (2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter: LinkedIn) for the information service offered here.


We would like to point out that you use this site and its functions at your own risk. This applies in particular to the use of the interactive functions (e.g. commenting, sharing, rating).


When you visit this page, LinkedIn records, among other things, your IP address and other information that is stored on your PC in the form of cookies. This information is used to provide us, as the operator of this site, with statistical information about the use of this site. The data collected about you in this context will be processed by LinkedIn and possibly transferred to countries outside the European Union. LinkedIn describes in general terms what information LinkedIn receives and how it is used in its data usage guidelines and data protection guidelines. There you will also find information about how to contact LinkedIn. The data usage guidelines and full data guidelines are available at the following link:
https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy?_l=de_DE

How LinkedIn uses the data from visits to LinkedIn pages for its own purposes, to what extent activities on the LinkedIn page are assigned to individual users, how long LinkedIn stores this data and whether data from a visit to the LinkedIn page is passed on to third parties are not known to us.
When you access a LinkedIn page, the IP address assigned to your device is transmitted to LinkedIn. LinkedIn also stores information about its users' end devices (eg as part of the “registration notification” function); If necessary, LinkedIn is able to assign IP addresses to individual users.


If you are currently logged in to LinkedIn as a user, there is a cookie on your device with your LinkedIn ID. This enables LinkedIn to understand that you have visited this page and how you have used it. This also applies to all other LinkedIn pages. LinkedIn buttons integrated into websites enable LinkedIn to record your visits to these website pages and to assign them to your LinkedIn profile. This data can be used to offer content or advertising tailored to you.


If you want to avoid this, you should log out of LinkedIn or deactivate the “stay logged in” function, delete the cookies on your device and close and restart your browser. In this way, LinkedIn information through which you can be directly identified is deleted. This allows you to use our LinkedIn page without revealing your LinkedIn ID. When you access the interactive functions of the site (like, comment, share, news, etc.), a LinkedIn login screen appears. After you have logged in, you can be recognized again as a specific user by LinkedIn.


Information on how you can manage or delete existing information about you can be found on the following LinkedIn support pages: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy?_l=de_DE
