2. Subject matter of data protection
The subject matter of data protection is the protection of personal data. This is all the information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”).
3. Purposes and legal bases for data processing
An overview of the purposes of and legal bases for data processing is provided below.
3.1 Safeguarding legitimate interests/processing purposes
The purpose of data processing on our LinkedIn site is to provide information about our products and services, combined with the possibility for users to interact with us in a targeted manner. Data is processed on the basis of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. We process the personal data that is required to safeguard legitimate interests, unless this is outweighed by your interest in the protection of your personal data. Our legitimate interest is in particular our business interest in sharing information with our users and being able to communicate with them.
We anonymize or delete the data when the purposes for which the data was required no longer apply, unless other legal grounds apply. If the latter is the case, we anonymize or delete the data once the other legal grounds cease to apply. After anonymization, you can no longer be identified.
3.2 Use of insight-data
We place advertisements on LinkedIn and use insight-data provided by LinkedIn to evaluate the behavior of our target audience in the interaction with our site. The target-group-specific control of advertising is a legitimate interest of our company. The users of LinkedIn are informed about this; the responsibility for data collection lies primarily with LinkedIn.
Users' opposing interests worthy of protection (display of individual target-group-optimized advertising) are not predominant. The legal basis for the data processing is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
3.3 Publication of Pictures
If we publish pictures of persons, this is done via consent (legal basis: Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR), on the basis of a contractual agreement (legal basis: Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR) and in exceptional cases on the basis of legitimate interests (legal basis: Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR in conjunction with Section 23 (1) (no. 3) Kunsturhebergesetz).
3.4 Use of Lead Gen Forms
We use so-called "Lead Gen Forms" (forms for the purpose of lead generation) in order to be able to inform you, for example, about products, services or events that may be of interest to you. In this context, selected information already stored by you on LinkedIn is transmitted to MHP for further processing for marketing and sales purposes. We use the data transmitted in this way to subsequently send you further information, products or invitations to events. Furthermore, the data received may be passed on to cooperation partners (e.g. co-organizers of events or companies participating in studies).
In particular, the following types of data may be processed by us in this context:
- Contact data: First and last name, e-mail address, URL of LinkedIn profile, telephone number, city, state/province, country/region, postal code, business e-mail address, business telephone number.
- Qualification Data: Education, degrees, fields of study, college/vocational school, start or graduation date.
- Employer information: company name, company size, industry sector
- Occupation data: job title, areas of activity, career level
The relevant legal basis for this is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time via the above-mentioned contact options, so that no further processing of the data received via LinkedIn will take place in the future. The processing activities carried out until then remain unaffected.

The service providers may use the data only for the purposes specified by us and in accordance with our instructions.
b) Public bodies
Public authorities and governmental institutions such as fiscal authorities, public prosecutors or courts to which we (are required to) transfer personal data for compelling legal reasons or for safeguarding legitimate interests.

We also delete your personal data if we are obliged to do so for legal reasons.

Right of access: You have the right to obtain information from us about the data that we have stored about you.
Right to rectification and erasure: You have the right to demand that we rectify incorrect data and – provided the legal requirements are met – that we erase your data.

Objection to the processing of data on the legal basis of “legitimate interest”: You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to our processing of your data, provided this objection is based on the legal basis of “legitimate interests”. If you exercise your right to object, we will discontinue the processing of your data unless we can – pursuant to the legal requirements – prove compelling legitimate reasons for further processing overriding your rights.
Withdrawal of consent: If you have given us consent to process your data, you may withdraw this consent at any time with effect for the future. The lawfulness of the processing of your data prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected.
Right to lodge complaints with the supervisory authority: You may also lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority if you believe the processing of your data to breach applicable laws. To do so, you may contact the data protection authority that is competent for your habitual residence or country or the data protection authority that has competence over us.
Contacting us and exercising your rights: Furthermore, if you should have any questions on the processing of your personal data, your rights as a data subject or any consent that may have been given, you may contact us free of charge. If you wish to exercise any or all of your rights mentioned above, please contact the address specified in Section 1. In that case, please ensure that we will be able to accurately identify you.
