Privacy Policy - LinkedIn

Contact details of the individuals responsible

In its judgment in Case C-210/16 of June 5, 2018, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled that the operator of a fan page and Facebook are jointly responsible for the processing of personal data. Analogously, it can be assumed that this is applicable to the operator of a LinkedIn page and LinkedIn. Thus, common persons responsible for the operation of this LinkedIn page are in the sense of the EU data protection basic regulation (DS-GVO) as well as other data protection regulations:
