Privacy Notice for the LinkedIn Company Page of BERlogic GmbH

With this privacy notice, we inform you pursuant to Articles 13 and 14 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) about the processing of personal data in connection with visiting and using our LinkedIn company page. This notice supplements LinkedIn's privacy information. LinkedIn itself is responsible for data processing that LinkedIn carries out independently outside the joint controllership described below.

Insofar as BERlogic GmbH processes personal data that you provide to us via LinkedIn or that becomes visible to us in connection with your interaction with our LinkedIn company page for its own purposes, the controller within the meaning of the GDPR is:

BERlogic GmbH
Lankwitzer Str. 39
12107 Berlin
Germany
Email: datenschutz@berlogic.de

The operator of the LinkedIn platform for users in the European Union, the European Economic Area and Switzerland is:

LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company
Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place
Dublin 2
Ireland

LinkedIn is generally independently responsible for operating the platform and the processing carried out in connection with it. With regard to the personal data processed for the creation and provision of so-called Page Insights, BERlogic and LinkedIn are joint controllers pursuant to Article 26 GDPR; details are provided in Section 6.

The Data Protection Officer of BERlogic GmbH can be contacted at: Mr Jürgen Becker, email: datenschutz@berlogic.de.

The Data Protection Officer of LinkedIn can be contacted by post at "c/o Data Protection Officer, LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland" and by email at dpo@linkedin.com.

When you visit or interact with our LinkedIn company page, LinkedIn processes personal data. This may include, in particular, profile and contact data, information from your LinkedIn profile, usage and interaction data, device and browser information, IP address, cookie or similar identifiers and, depending on your settings and the circumstances of use, location information.

LinkedIn determines the purposes, scope, legal bases and retention periods of the processing it carries out independently. BERlogic has only limited influence over this platform-based processing. This concerns, in particular, the provision and security of the platform, personalisation, reach and usage analysis, advertising and the further development of LinkedIn services.

For further information, please refer to the LinkedIn Privacy Policy, the European Regional Privacy Notice and the LinkedIn Cookie Policy.

The technical placement and management of cookies and comparable technologies on linkedin.com is carried out by LinkedIn or by providers engaged by LinkedIn. BERlogic has no direct influence over these platform cookies.

When you interact with our LinkedIn company page, for example by commenting on, sharing or reacting to posts, mentioning us, following our page or sending us a message, we may process the data you provide in this context or that is visible to us. This may include, in particular, your name, profile picture, publicly available profile information, the type and content of the interaction, the content of your message and the communication data required to handle your request.

We process this data to manage and present our company page, for corporate communications, to respond to enquiries, to maintain business contacts and to moderate our content. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in appropriate public representation, communication with prospective customers, customers and business partners, and the proper handling of enquiries. Where your contact is aimed at entering into or performing a contract, the processing is additionally or primarily based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Within BERlogic GmbH, access to personal data is limited to those departments or persons that require it to handle the relevant matter. Any further disclosure takes place only where permitted or required by law.

As a rule, we obtain the data processed by BERlogic directly from you through your interaction or contact with us on LinkedIn. Where information from your LinkedIn profile is visible to us, it originates from the profile and platform context provided by LinkedIn. For Page Insights, LinkedIn provides only aggregated analyses; further information is set out in Section 6.

LinkedIn provides administrators of company pages with statistical information about the use of the respective page ("Page Insights"). To create these statistics, LinkedIn processes, in particular, information about how members interact with a page and certain profile information, e.g. job function, country, industry, seniority, company size or employment status.

According to LinkedIn, the Page Insights provided to BERlogic consist of aggregated data. In the context of Page Insights, BERlogic does not receive personal data relating to individual LinkedIn members and cannot attribute the statistical information to individual persons.

For the processing of personal data for the creation of Page Insights, BERlogic and LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company are joint controllers within the meaning of Article 26 GDPR. The allocation of responsibilities is governed by the "Page Insights Joint Controller Addendum". Under this arrangement, LinkedIn assumes responsibility in particular for fulfilling data subject rights in relation to Page Insights and for the security of the relevant processing; BERlogic is required to cooperate with LinkedIn.

The agreement can be viewed here: LinkedIn Page Insights Joint Controller Addendum.

BERlogic uses Page Insights on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in statistically analysing the use of our company page, tailoring our communications to users’ needs and improving our content. Irrespective of the internal allocation of responsibilities, you may exercise your rights pursuant to Article 26(3) GDPR against either of the joint controllers.

According to its own information, LinkedIn also processes personal data outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, in particular in the United States. LinkedIn states that it uses the transfer mechanisms provided for by law for such transfers. Depending on the transfer, these include adequacy decisions, in particular the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, and Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.

Further and up-to-date information on international data transfers and the safeguards used by LinkedIn can be found in LinkedIn’s European privacy information. BERlogic has no direct influence over LinkedIn’s specific technical data processing or its selection of recipients.

As a rule, we retain personal data processed by BERlogic as a result of direct contact or interaction only for as long as necessary to handle the relevant matter or for the respective processing purpose. Once the matter has been finally dealt with, the data is deleted unless statutory retention obligations, legitimate interests in further storage, or requirements relating to the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims prevent deletion.

Publicly visible interactions on LinkedIn may also remain on the platform for as long as the relevant content or user account exists, or until the interaction is removed by the data subject or, where possible and permitted, by a page administrator. LinkedIn’s rules apply to the retention period of data processed independently by LinkedIn. Page Insights are provided to BERlogic in aggregated form.

Where the statutory requirements are met, you have, in particular, the following rights:

• Right of access pursuant to Article 15 GDPR;
• Right to rectification pursuant to Article 16 GDPR;
• Right to erasure pursuant to Article 17 GDPR;
• Right to restriction of processing pursuant to Article 18 GDPR;
• Right to be informed pursuant to Article 19 GDPR;
• Right to data portability pursuant to Article 20 GDPR;
• Right to object pursuant to Article 21 GDPR;
• Right to withdraw consent with effect for the future pursuant to Article 7(3) GDPR, where processing is based on consent;
• Right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority pursuant to Article 77 GDPR.

Rights relating to processing for which BERlogic is solely responsible may be exercised in particular via datenschutz@berlogic.de. If your request concerns Page Insights, you may contact either BERlogic or LinkedIn. Under the joint controllership arrangement, LinkedIn has assumed responsibility for handling data subject rights relating to Page Insights; where necessary, BERlogic will forward relevant requests to LinkedIn and cooperate in handling them.

Where we process your personal data on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, you have the right, pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to such processing. We will then no longer process the personal data concerned unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. For BERlogic GmbH, the following supervisory authority is competent in particular:

Berlin Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information
Alt-Moabit 59-61
10555 Berlin
Germany
Email: mailbox@datenschutz-berlin.de

For processing for which LinkedIn is responsible and, in particular, as the lead supervisory authority in connection with Page Insights, the Irish Data Protection Commission is competent according to LinkedIn:

Data Protection Commission
6 Pembroke Row
Dublin 2, D02 X963
Ireland

Your right to contact another supervisory authority competent under Article 77 GDPR remains unaffected.
