The DIHK uses the technical platform and services of LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland, for its channel offered on LinkedIn.

We would like to point out that you use this LinkedIn page and its functions at your own responsibility. This applies in particular to the use of interactive functions (e.g., commenting, sharing, rating). Therefore, please carefully consider which information you disclose and share with other users in your own interest.

When visiting our LinkedIn page, LinkedIn collects, among other things, your IP address and other information stored in cookies on your device. This information is used to provide us, as the operators of the LinkedIn pages, with statistical information about the use of the LinkedIn page. LinkedIn provides more information on this at the following link: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy

The data collected about you in this context is processed by LinkedIn Inc. and may be transferred to countries outside the European Union. LinkedIn describes in general terms what information it receives and how it is used in its data use policies. You can also find information there about contact options for LinkedIn and settings options for advertisements. The data use policies are available at the following link: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy

The way LinkedIn uses the data from visits to LinkedIn pages for its own purposes, the extent to which activities on the LinkedIn page are attributed 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 is not conclusively and clearly stated by LinkedIn and is not known to us.

When accessing a LinkedIn page, the IP address assigned to your device is transmitted to LinkedIn. According to LinkedIn, this IP address is anonymized (for "German" IP addresses) and deleted after 90 days. LinkedIn also stores information about its users' devices (e.g., as part of the "login notification" function); LinkedIn may thus be able to assign IP addresses to individual users.

If you, as a user, are currently logged into LinkedIn, there is a cookie with your LinkedIn identifier on your device. LinkedIn can thus track that you have visited this page and how you have used it. This also applies to all other LinkedIn pages. Through LinkedIn buttons integrated into websites, LinkedIn can record your visits to these websites and associate them with your LinkedIn profile. Based on this data, content or advertising tailored to you can be offered.

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 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 identifier. If you access interactive functions of the page (like, comment, share, messages, etc.), a LinkedIn login mask will appear. After logging in, LinkedIn will again recognize you as a specific user.

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

We, as providers of the information service, do not collect or process any data from your use of our service.
