LinkedIn page

LinkedIn is a social network operated by LinkedIn Inc., headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, USA, that allows individuals to create personal and professional profiles and enables companies to create business profiles. Users can maintain their existing connections and make new ones within the social network. Companies and other organizations can create profiles where they can upload photos and other company information to promote themselves as employers and recruit employees. Other LinkedIn users have access to this information and can write their own articles and share this content with others. The network focuses on professional exchanges on specialized topics with people who share the same career interests.

When users use or visit the network, LinkedIn automatically collects data from them during their use or visit, such as their username, job title, and IP address. This is done using various tracking technologies. LinkedIn provides users with information, offers, and recommendations based, in part, on the data collected in this way.

Only the social network provider is authorized to have full access to your data. Consequently, only the provider can directly take and implement the necessary measures to fulfill your user rights (requests for information, requests for deletion, objections, etc.). The most effective way to exercise these rights is therefore to contact the respective provider directly.

We are jointly responsible with LinkedIn for the personal data contained in our company profile. Data subjects may exercise their rights with LinkedIn Inc. or with us.
