7.12. LinkedIn Lead Generation (Lead Gen Forms)

Categories of personal data and origin of the data:

We use the product marketing solutions of LinkedIn Corporation, 1000 W Maude, Sunnyvale, CA 94085, USA and its representative in the European Union, LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as LinkedIn).

LinkedIn transmits personal data to us using a form (LinkedIn Lead Gen Form). Lead Gen Forms are already pre-filled with LinkedIn profile data that allow members to submit their data, which is publicly visible on the network, with just a few clicks. The inquiries generated through the forms are passed directly to our supported CRM HubSpot. These are generally:

  • First and last name
  • Email address

Legal basis:

We process the data on the following legal basis:

  • 6 (1) (a) GDPR: Consent of data subjects
  • 6 (1) (b) GDPR, if applicable: Performance of a contract with the data subject or implementation of pre-contractual measures at the request of the data subject
  • Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR: Legitimate interest of the controller

Purposes:

  • Using Lead Gen Forms for acquiring new customers
  • Addressing potential new customers in a more targeted manner.
  • Communication and data exchange
  • Contract initiation and execution

Recipients (categories):

Access to your data is limited to the employees and service providers of the controller who require the data for the above-mentioned purposes. Your data will also be stored in a commissioned data center.

Data transfers to third countries:

As personal data is transferred to the USA, further protection mechanisms are required to ensure the data protection level required by the GDPR. To achieve this, the provider offers standard data protection clauses in accordance with Art. 46 (2) (c) GDPR. These obligate the recipient of the data in the USA to process the data according to the protection level in Europe. In cases where this cannot be assured even with this addendum to the contract, we make every effort to implement additional provisions and commitments with the recipient in the USA.

Further information on the collection and storage of data by LinkedIn can be found at: www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy

Storage period:

We keep the data you enter until you ask us to delete it or revoke your consent for storage, or until the purpose for which the data was stored no longer applies (e.g. as soon as we no longer need the data for implementing or processing an existing contractual relationship), unless we are legally required to store it for a longer period.

LinkedIn states that the lead data is automatically deleted from LinkedIn’s servers after 90 days.

LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms:

LinkedIn uses forms to generate leads. Functions and content of the LinkedIn service may be integrated. If you are a member of the LinkedIn platform, LinkedIn can associate your use of the above content and functions to your LinkedIn profile. Further information on data protection and LinkedIn Lead Gen Ads can be found here: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy or https://business.linkedin.com/de-de/marketing-solutions/native-advertising/lead-gen-ads

In the event that cookies are used, we process the personal data to reach relevant target groups with suitable advertising and for analytical purposes. The relevant legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. You can prevent the collection and processing of your personal data by LinkedIn by blocking the storage of cookies on your computer by third-party providers, using the “Do Not Track” function of a supporting browser, deactivating the execution of script code in your browser, or installing a script blocker such as NoScript (www.noscript.net) or Ghostery (www.ghostery.com) in your browser.
