1. General information

Social media has become an integral part of the internet and modern communication. In order to get and stay in touch with our applicants, employees, business partners and interested parties, to share relevant new job advertisements and topics of the Joachim Herz Foundation with you, we have also set up our own LinkedIn presence. LinkedIn is a professional networking service provided by LinkedIn Corporation, 1000 W Maude Ave, Sunnyvale, CA, 94085-2810 USA. When you visit our profile, your profile information as well as information about the visit is essentially processed by LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland (hereinafter "LinkedIn"). When you visit our LinkedIn company profile, we are jointly responsible with LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland(https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/solve) for processing your personal data. Below, we inform you about the related data processing on our LinkedIn profile (as far as we are able).

We expressly draw your attention to the fact that LinkedIn, as the responsible party, collects personal data from you when you visit our profile, including through the use of cookies. Such data collection by LinkedIn may also occur for visitors to our profile who are not registered or logged in to LinkedIn.

We have no influence on the processing and further use of this data, as LinkedIn alone determines the processing. To what extent, where and for how long the data is stored, to what extent the data is linked and evaluated and to whom the data is passed on is not comprehensible to us. Also with regard to deletion periods, i.e. whether and to what extent deletion periods are observed, we have no insight and no influence.

If you are a LinkedIn member and logged into your LinkedIn user account, LinkedIn can assign the visit to our site to your user account.

Information about the data collection and further processing of personal data by LinkedIn can be found in the privacy policy of LinkedIn.

2. Scope of data collection and storage

In accordance with LinkedIn's terms of use, which each user has agreed to as part of creating a LinkedIn profile, we may identify subscribers to the site and view their profiles and other shared information from them. For example, your LinkedIn name and profile picture are visible to us (and other LinkedIn user:s) when you visit our site or comment on posts by us. We therefore only collect personal data that has become an obvious part of our LinkedIn page through your participation. LinkedIn uses cookies to store and further process this information, i.e. small text files that are stored on the various end devices of the user. According to LinkedIn, the cookies used by LinkedIn are used for authentication, security, preferences, features and services, personalized advertising, and analysis and research. You can view details of the cookies used by LinkedIn here: https://de.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy

You can object to the use of cookies HERE. Furthermore, you can manage advertising from Microsoft using the Privacy Dashboard.

LinkedIn's privacy policy contains additional information on data processing.

However, when you visit our LinkedIn page, LinkedIn collects and processes various usage data about your visit for each and every one of your visits. This includes the usual log file data, such as IP address, what screen resolution you are using, etc., but there is also tracking of your use of the services as part of the provision of LinkedIn's specific services. This tracking captures, for example, viewing/clicking on content or ads, performing a search, sharing articles, or applying for a job via LinkedIn. To do this, LinkedIn uses login information, cookies, device information, and IP addresses to identify you and log your usage. LinkedIn also tracks your user behavior for advertising purposes. You can find more detailed information about what data is collected by LinkedIn, for what purpose and on what basis in the privacy policy and also in LinkedIn's cookie policy.

To prevent LinkedIn from collecting data for advertising purposes, you can set a LinkedIn cookie to reject advertising via this link: https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls/retargeting-opt-out.

In addition, you can make further privacy-related adjustments via this link: https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/62931/manage-advertising-preferences?lang=en

You do not need to be a member of LinkedIn to view content on our LinkedIn page.

If you have created a LinkedIn profile, we can only see the information on your profile that you have made publicly available. What this information is specifically, you decide in your LinkedIn settings. For visitors with a LinkedIn profile and subscribers to the site, we also see first and last names, as well as the time of the visit.

As a matter of principle, we only store personal data until the respective purpose for which the data was collected has been achieved. In the context of a business relationship with you, for example, we store your personal data that are necessary for the fulfillment of the business relationship, at least as long as the business relationship lasts. This also includes the initiation and the execution of a contract as well as the regular limitation period. In addition, we store the data if and to the extent that we are subject to statutory retention obligations. Such may arise, for example, from the German Commercial Code (HGB) or the German Fiscal Code (AO).

We do not automatically collect and evaluate profile data from LinkedIn users. Automated decision-making including profiling according to Art. 22 DSGVO does not take place.

3. Disclosure and use of personal data

Insofar as you interact within the framework of LinkedIn, LinkedIn naturally has access to your data. In particular, it is possible that in addition to LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland, LinkedIn Corporation, 1000 W Maude Ave, Sunnyvale, CA, 94085-2810 USA also has access to your data.

The LinkedIn Corporation is located here in an insecure third country where the level of data protection is lower.

In these cases, we ensure that an adequate level of data protection comparable to the standards within the EU is established at the recipient before transferring your personal data. This can be achieved, for example, through EU standard contracts or Binding Corporate Rules or special agreements to whose regulations the company may be subject.

According to its statements, LinkedIn also undertakes to use the new standard contractual clauses adopted by the EU Commission if a third-country transfer takes place. For more information on LinkedIn's standard contractual clauses, please visit: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/l/eu-sccs.

We do not pass on your profile data to third parties. 4 Legal basis If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 6 (1) f) DSGVO is the legal basis for the processing. We obtain the aforementioned data by operating the LinkedIn profile on the basis of our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para.1 lit. f) DSGVO) to come into and remain in contact with applicants:inside, business partners:inside and employees:inside. We therefore also see our legitimate interest for data processing in the provision of company information, career calls and career information.

We use the message function on LinkedIn on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. F) DSGVO to answer your questions, follow up on your request and achieve an optimization of customer communication.

If you send us a message and your message is directed towards the conclusion of a contract or concerns topics of the implementation of an existing contractual relationship, the legal basis for the processing is also Art. 6 para. 1 lit. B) DSGVO. In the event of contact by potential applicants for the purpose of establishing an employment relationship, the legal basis is Section 26, Paragraph 1, Sentence 1 BDSG.

Further legal bases for data processing may arise in individual cases from Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a), b), c) DSGVO.

5. Your rights

Provided that the conditions specified in the law are met, you are entitled to the following rights:

You have the right, pursuant to Art. 21 DSGVO, to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or (f) DSGVO; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

If personal data are processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you also have the right to object at any time to 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.
