We must emphasise that you use the social service of LinkedIn as well as its range of functions on offer on your own responsibility in accordance with the user agreement you have concluded with LinkedIn. This applies equally to the interactive functions such as sharing or commenting.
For more information on the processing of data by LinkedIn, in particular on the purposes of the processing, please refer to LinkedIn's privacy policy: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy

5. Automatic Processing by LinkedIn
If you use LinkedIn's service, your personal data will be processed by LinkedIn and will be processed regardless of your residence or domicile in Ireland or your residence or domicile in any country in which LinkedIn does business through your ability to download it.
When using LinkedIn, all personal and non-personal data that you voluntarily provide to LinkedIn for processing is processed, in particular through your own entries, as well as when you synchronise or upload data with LinkedIn.
While using the service, LinkedIn uses analytics tools to evaluate which topics and content interest you. Similarly, confidential messages that you send to other users via the service are processed and stored.
For the evaluation of this data, LinkedIn may use its own analysis tools or third-party services. LinkedIn also collects, among other things, personal data via our company page about their visitors, their followers or users who engage with our page in order to provide us with this data in anonymised form as statistics or as so-called “insights” (InSights).
This also gives us anonymised insight into how people visit and perceive our company website.
In particular, LinkedIn processes the following data:
- Information about the user's profile
- Functional data
- Country
- Industry
- Seniority
- Company size
- Employee status
- Type and manner of interaction (e.g. followers, visitors, etc.)
Personal data is also processed and stored via LinkedIn if you have not created an account with this service yourself. Even if you are only a temporary visitor, data such as the IP address, browser type, operating system, information on previously accessed websites, location, mobile phone provider, the end device and search terms used and cookie information are processed.
If you want to restrict the processing of your data by LinkedIn, you can adjust this in the settings of your LinkedIn account. Similarly, you can also restrict the service's access to contact and calendar data, photos, location data, etc. via the system settings of your end device.
For more information on the processing of data by the LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company service, please refer to the following information pages:

The sole purpose of this data processing is to communicate with users on the basis of our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR.
In addition, LinkedIn provides us with access to the page insights. However, this is not personal data. We are only provided with summarised data as page insights, which do not allow us to draw conclusions about individual persons or members. The processing of the data via the page insights is carried out by LinkedIn and us as joint controllers within the meaning of the GDPR. The purpose of this data processing is exclusively the evaluation and analysis of the actions and activities on our LinkedIn company page as well as the improvement based on this data. Accordingly, the legal basis for the processing of the data is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
1. Categories of persons concerned:

9. Rights of the Data Subject
If personal data is processed by you, you are the data subject within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation. You therefore have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller.

- for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.
4. Right to Restriction of Processing – Art. 18 GDPR
You have the right to request the restriction of processing of personal data concerning you under the following conditions:
- if you contest the accuracy of personal data concerning you for a period enabling the controller to verify its accuracy;
- if the processing is unlawful and you refuse the deletion of the personal data and instead request the restriction of its use;
- if the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing but you need it for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims; or

Where the processing of personal data relating to you has been restricted, such data may, with the exception of storage, be processed only with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or due to substantial public interest on the part of the European Union or a member state. If the restriction of processing has itself been restricted on the basis of the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.
5. Right to Information – Art. 19 GDPR
If you have exercised one of your rights to rectification, deletion or restriction of processing, we are obliged to communicate the rectification, erasure of data or restriction of processing to all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you has been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. You also have the right to be informed about these recipients.

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to the controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.

(b) the processing is carried out with the aid of automated procedures.
In exercising this right to data portability, you also have the right to ensure that the personal data concerning you is transferred directly from one controller to another insofar as this is technically feasible.
7. Right of Objection – Art. 21 GDPR
You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data relating to you that is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
The controller shall no longer process the personal data concerning you unless he or she can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
If personal data are processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of your habitual residence, place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the general data protection regulation.
The supervisory authority with which you lodge a complaint shall inform you, as the complainant, of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 78 of the GDPR.
