Privacy Policy

First off, your data is in good hands with us. We will only do what you want us to do with your data. The details are set out below in the long version of our promise. We have written our Privacy Policy in the most comprehensible way possible. For example, we have omitted references to laws and simplified many specialist terms. The relevant legally valid text can be found under “Details +”. Incidentally, by GDPR we mean the General Data Protection Regulation of the European Union.

3. Information on data transfer to the US

In some cases, we transfer data to companies in the USA for processing. The following applies to all of these cases: Unfortunately, data protection in the USA cannot be guaranteed to be as good as in the EU. In many cases, however, it is legally guaranteed that the data is just as secure there as it is in the EU. This depends on the company that receives your data.
For those companies that cannot guarantee the same level of data protection as in the EU, we hereby expressly draw your attention to the risks that exist for you as a result of these data transfers: The risk is that, due to legislation in the USA, your data may be accessed by American authorities (in particular the secret services). Legal protection options or information on the handling of your data by the US authorities are only possible to a very limited extent or not at all. Processing in these cases is therefore based on your express consent. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. The consequences of your revocation depend on the respective service of the company and are described in the corresponding section. Which data is transferred is described below in the sections where we work with companies in the USA.

Details

We use services that transfer personal data to the USA and process it there. Which services are currently used can be found below in the relevant sections. An adequacy decision by the EU Commission applies to most services through the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). This provides legal certainty that the level of data protection for personal data is at least equivalent to that in the EU.

The following applies equally to other services: No adequacy decision of the European Commission applies to data transfers to the USA. Because, despite any standard contractual clauses agreed with the service provider, no level of data protection corresponding to that of the EU can ultimately be guaranteed, we hereby expressly draw your attention to the risks associated with this data transfer to the USA: There is a risk that US authorities may gain access to personal data on the basis of the PRISM and UPSTREAM surveillance programmes based on Section 702 of the FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act), as well as on the basis of Executive Order 12333 or Presidential Police Directive 28. EU citizens have no effective legal defence against this access in the USA or the EU. The processing is therefore based on your express consent in accordance with Art. 49 (1) lit. a GDPR. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time in accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR. The consequences of your revocation depend on the respective service and are described in the corresponding section.
Which data is transferred is also described below in the respective sections.

II. Concrete information on the collection of personal data

1. Visiting the website

1.a) Purpose of the collection and processing of data

To keep a technical eye on what is happening on our website, we store some data (see list under “Details +”). This helps us, for example, to detect faults and overloads. It also gives us an indication of how to further develop our website. With the exception of the IP address, the data cannot be tracked to you. It would take considerable effort to track the IP address we store back to you – something we do not do.
Details

Every time a user accesses a page from our website or calls up a file stored on our website, access data relating to this process are stored in a log file. Each dataset consists of:

(1) the page from which the file was requested,
(2) the name of the file,
(3) the date and time of the request,
(4) the amount of data transmitted,
(5) the access status (file transmitted, file not found, etc.),
(6) a description of the type of operating system and web browser used,
(7) the client IP address.

We use this data in order to operate our website, in particular to determine the utilisation of the website and website malfunctions, and to make adjustments or improvements. The client IP address is used for the purpose of transmitting the data requested; when no longer technically required, the client IP address will be rendered anonymous by deleting the last block of numbers (IPv4) or the last octet (IPv6).

1.b) Duration of retention

The data mentioned in 1.a) are stored every time our website is accessed. They will be deleted when we no longer need them ‒ within ten weeks at the latest.

Details

Data are stored every time a user accesses a page from our website or calls up our website; such data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for the purpose of the collection, which is the case within ten weeks of the user’s last visit to the website at the latest.

1.c) Legal basis

The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation allows us to process data in this way.

Details

The legal basis for the temporary storage of the aforementioned data is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interest is to make available our website. It is not necessary to obtain consent to this data processing because otherwise this service could not be provided (in accordance with Section 25(2)(2) of the Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG), which is why Article 6(1)(a) GDPR also applies).

1.d) Possibility of objection and removal

You can let us know that you do not agree to the storage of data. In this case, you would have to tell us your IP address so that we can prevent the entire log data from being stored. We would then have to store the IP address and your address details for as long as your objection is valid.
Details
The data subject may object to processing. The personal data required to implement the objection (IP address and address details) shall then be stored by us for as long as the objection is maintained.

2. Cookies and similar data processing operations

Information on cookies and data processing is displayed when you visit the site. You can then choose which cookies you accept and which you reject. You can also access the settings options at any time at the bottom of each page by clicking on the “Privacy settings” link.
Incidentally, if the “Do Not Track” setting is activated in your browser, this information will not be displayed and any non-essential processing will be blocked. In this case, you can still obtain information and unblock the site at any time by clicking on the “Privacy settings” link at the bottom of each page.

2.a) Purpose of the collection and use of data

When you visit our website, small data packages are stored on your web browser (or on the device you use to visit our website). These are called cookies. With the help of these cookies, our website can tell that this web browser has already visited the page before. Any settings that may have been made can then be made again automatically (e.g. the selected language). Cookies also help us to adapt the pages to your preferences and to speed up the display of the page.
Data is processed even without cookies.

Services that transfer data to third countries that are not data secure are marked as “Non-EU”. Concerning this, see also „I. 3 Information on data transfer to the US“.

Details

In order to make it technically possible to visit our website, we transmit so-called cookies to the data subject’s end device. Cookies are small text files that enable the data subject’s end device to be identified, usually by recording the name of the domain from which the cookie data was sent, information on the age of the cookie and an alphanumeric identifier. Saving the cookie on the end device used – without interfering with the operating system – enables the end device to be recognised and allows us to make any possible presettings immediately available. We use this information to adapt our website and the services offered to your needs and to enable you to access our website more quickly.

In addition to cookies, other methods are also used to process personal data, such as the transmission of IP addresses and device fingerprinting.

The following processing operations are essential for the basic functionality of the website and are used for the following purpose:

  • Real Cookie Banner: We use this software to manage your consents and refusals to the processing operations of your data on this website. Real Cookie Banner asks you to consent to the cookies and other data processing operations used on this website. The cookies store the UUID (Universal Unique Identifier – alias identification of the visiting device) and the selection of the agreed cookie groups and cookies. (EU)

Functional processing operations:

  • Akamai: Akamai.com (Akamai Technologies, Inc., USA) is a CDN (Content Delivery Network) and protects websites from malicious traffic and saves parts of the website in a cache for faster delivery.

Marketing:

  • Facebook: We use the “Facebook pixel” on our website. It helps to determine whether you belong in a suitable target group for the presentation of adverts within Facebook’s ad network. The Facebook pixel also makes it possible to track the effectiveness of Facebook advertising. Using the additional function “extended comparison”, information stored in your Facebook account, such as email addresses or Facebook IDs of people, is evaluated by target group in encrypted form. Cookies are used to distinguish devices, record their behaviour on the website in detail, and link this data to advertising data from Facebook’s ad network. This data can be linked to the data of people registered on facebook.com with their Facebook accounts. (Non-EU)
  • Instagram: Instagram allows content posted on instagram.com to be embedded directly into websites. The data recorded is used to collect visited web pages and detailed statistics on visiting behaviour.

You can find out which cookies are (possibly) set in the privacy settings.

2.b) Duration of retention

You can delete our cookies from your browser / device at any time. Besides that, the cookies will also be deleted automatically after different lengths of time.

Details

The different cookies are stored for different lengths of time; however, the maximum period is two years. Cookies are stored on your local end device, not on our server, which is why the actual deletion period depends on how your browser software is configured. Please refer to the operating instructions of your browser software to find out how to delete – either ad hoc or automatically – cookies that we have set.

2.c) Legal basis

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG) allow us to set cookies.

Details

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions that you have requested (e.g. for a language switch) (essential cookies) are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of essential cookies in order to optimise and provide its services free of technical errors. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG); consent can be withdrawn at any time.

2.d) Possibility of objection and removal

You can delete cookies yourself at any time. In addition, cookies can be rejected in the privacy settings.
Details

The data subject may block the use of cookies in the end device used or delete these cookies after use. In some circumstances, however, it may not be possible to use the full functionality of our website. Please refer to the operating instructions of the browser software to find out how to block cookies and to delete cookies that have already been saved.

3. Applications

3.a) Purpose of the collection and use of data

Application details are used solely for the application procedure.

Details

We process the data provided to us in the context of applications only for the purpose of the application and an application procedure.
We provide an application form on our website. The data subject may use this application form to contact us electronically and submit their application documents. The following data is collected and stored: name, IP address, email address, curriculum vitae (with the contents determined freely by the data subject), possibly other documents such as cover letters, certificates/references, work samples, etc., and the date and time of the enquiry. The data is transferred directly to our application management, and is not stored in the portal.

3.b) Duration of retention

If the applicant is hired, we will retain the data for the duration of employment. If the applicant is not hired, we will delete the data as soon as they are no longer required. This is typically the case after six months. If an application is withdrawn, we will also delete the data.

Details

In the event of a successful application, we may further process applicants’ data for the purpose of the employment relationship. In the event of an unsuccessful application, applicants’ data will be deleted after the completion of the application process, unless we are entitled to store the data for a period of six months in order to answer any follow-up questions concerning the application and to comply with any obligations to provide supporting documents arising from the Act on Equal Treatment. If a candidate withdraws his or her application, the data will likewise be deleted.

3.c) Legal basis

The General Data Protection Regulation and the Federal Data Protection Act govern the handling of data in application procedures.

Details

The aforementioned data are stored only in compliance with our pre-contractual obligations in the context of the application procedure within the meaning of Article 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR and, where applicable, for purposes relating to the employment relationship in accordance with Section 26 of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). Where special categories of personal data within the meaning of Article 9(1) GDPR are communicated voluntarily, these are processed additionally in accordance with Article 9(2)(b) GDPR (e.g. data relating to health, such as severe disability status). Where special categories of personal data within the meaning of Article 9(1) GDPR are requested from applicants in the context of the application procedure, they will be processed additionally in accordance with Article 9(2)(a) GDPR (e.g. data relating to health, if these are necessary for the pursuit of an occupation).

3.d) Possibility of objection and removal

You have the right to object to processing, and to request the erasure of data. It could be the case that legal provisions do not allow this. (For example, the requirement that application details must be retained in case of complaints under the Act on Equal Treatment. See also 3.b)

Details

The possibility of objection and removal exists to the extent presented above.

4. Contact form, contact by email, fax or telephone

4.a) Purpose of the collection and use of data

When you contact us, we save the information you give us. This is the case regardless of how you contact us. We will not pass on your data.

Details

Individuals may contact us by email, fax or phone. The data transferred to us in this way and specified by the data subject will be saved by us so that we can process the query. Such data includes the name, address, email address, phone and / or fax number, the date and time of the query, a description of the concern and, where applicable, contract data if the query is made in the context of preparing or executing a contract.
The data will not be divulged to third parties. It serves the purpose of processing the data subject’s contact enquiry.

4.b) Duration of retention

When we no longer need the information relating to you which you gave us during our communication, we will delete it.

Details

Once data are no longer required for achieving the purpose, they will be deleted. This is the case where the conversation has been successfully completed and the circumstances have been clarified, and no contractual or fiscal retention periods prevent such deletion. That period is five years for personal data that fall under Section 147 of the German Fiscal Code (AO) and ten years for personal data that fall under Section 257 of the German Commercial Code (HGB). These periods commence at the end of the calendar year in which the data were collected.

4.c) Legal basis

The General Data Protection Regulation allows us to use contact details.
Details
The legal basis for storing the aforementioned data is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, only after the data subject has given his or her prior consent within the query; Article 6(1)(b) GDPR in the context of the initiation or performance of a contract; or Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The controller’s legitimate interest is the ability to process contact enquiries and to prevent the abuse of contact enquiry. Since the data subject is able at any time to withdraw his or her consent, the legitimacy of the processing of personal data that took place on the basis of consent until its withdrawal is not affected.

4.d) Possibility of objection and removal

If you do not want us to continue using your data, you can object to this at any time. Simply contact us, and we will delete your details.
Details
The data subject may at any time withdraw the consent he or she gave to the processing and storage of data. Data stored with regard to this process will then be deleted.

5. Google Analytics

5.a) Purpose of the collection and use of data

By using the Google Analytics service, we get an insight into the use of our website. Google is a company based in the US. In order to create the necessary statistics, the IP address you used to visit our website is stored. However, the IP address will be processed in anonymous form. In other words, both we and Google process this information. In addition to the IP address, Google also collects additional data such as the browser, as well as website or app activity.
Details
The client IP address is recorded for the use of the Google Analytics service. This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). The information generated by Google software on our site about the use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the US, where it is stored. Owing to the activation of IP anonymisation on this website, however, the data subject’s IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within the Member States of the European Union and in other countries which are contracting parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases (according to Google) will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the US first and then shortened. (However, it cannot be ruled out that Google will also process the unabridged IP address for its own purposes.) On the instructions of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to analyse the use of the website, to compile reports about website activities and to provide additional services relating to website and internet usage for the website operator. The IP address transmitted from your browser using Google Analytics will not be associated with any other data held by Google. In addition to the IP address, Google also collects data about the device or browser, as well as website or app activity. This data is forwarded to the domain https://tagmanager.google.com/. From there, it is transmitted to our Google Analytics account. You can find out which cookies are (possibly) set in privacy settings.

5.b) Duration of retention

Your full IP address will only be used for the duration of a fraction of a second, i.e. for the purpose of anonymising it. The raw data for statistics will be deleted after 14 months. Google automatically deletes the other data when it is no longer to be retained.
Details
Once the data is no longer needed to achieve the purpose, it will be deleted, which is the case when the anonymisation, which takes place within the European Union, has been completed. This takes less than one second. The data sent by us and that is linked to cookies, user identifications (e.g. user IDs) or advertising IDs will be deleted automatically after 14 months. Data that has reached its storage period is deleted automatically once a month. For more information, visit https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/us/ and https://policies.google.com/?hl=en. For the other data, Google sets a retention period depending on the reason for collection.

5.c) Legal basis

The General Data Protection Regulation allows us to analyse visits. Also note the legal information provided in Section I. 3 Information on data transfer to the US. Wiethe is responsible for transferring data to Google. Google then helps us to improve the effectiveness of our website, and consequently recruitment. Google decides how it handles the data. We have no further influence on this. This division of tasks means that Google and Wiethe are jointly responsible for data processing (in accordance with Article 26 GDPR). We only disclose the data to Google with your consent.
Details

We transfer data to

Google LLC
1600 Amphitheatre Parkway
Mountain View, CA 94043, USA
(“Google”)

The legal basis for the storage and transfer of the aforementioned data is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. We therefore ask you to consent to the processing for the purpose of analysing the use of the website. Analysis of all users in their entirety without being able to draw conclusions about the behaviour of identifiable individuals enables us to optimise our website and the services we offer. Your consent is also required in accordance with Section 25(1) TDDDG.

Google is a company that is located in an “unsafe third country”. However, the EU Commission’s adequacy decision ensures an EU-compliant level of data protection. For details see Section I. 3 Information on data transfer to the US.

Wiethe is responsible for the collection and transfer of data to Google. Based on this data, Google provides us with services to improve the effectiveness of our website. Google has sole responsibility for the storage and further use of the data. This division of tasks results in joint responsibility in accordance with Article 26 GDPR.

5.d) Possibility of objection and removal

You can prevent cookies from being set on your browser / device. But it could be that some convenient functionalities will then no longer work. The integration of Google Analytics can be disabled at any time in our privacy settings. A browser plug-in can even be used to prevent data being shared with Google: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
Details
The data subject can prevent cookies from being saved by setting their browser software accordingly; we point out to the data subject, however, that this may mean that he or she will not be able to use the full functionality of this website. The data subject can also prevent the data generated by the cookie relating to the use of the website (including the IP address) from being recorded and used by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available from this link [https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en].

6. Web analytics via the Facebook pixel

6.a) Purpose of the collection and use of data

We use a marketing service provided by Facebook on this website to show suitable job adverts to you and others who may be interested in us. When you visit our website, the fact that you have visited this website is transmitted to Facebook, and Facebook assigns this information to your personal Facebook account (if you have one). To find out more about the collection and use of data by Facebook, as well as your rights in this respect and the options for protecting your privacy, please refer to Facebook’s Privacy Policy at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/ and to privacy settings on our website.
Details
This website uses the “Custom Audiences” remarketing feature of Facebook Inc. 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”) This feature allows us to show you job adverts based on your interests (“Facebook ads”) when you visit Facebook. To do this, the Facebook remarketing tag (pixel) has been installed on this website. A direct connection to the Facebook servers is established via this tag when you visit the website. The fact that you have visited this website is transmitted in the process, and Facebook assigns this information to your personal Facebook account. To find out more about the collection and use of data by Facebook, as well as your rights in this respect and the options for protecting your privacy, please refer to Facebook’s Privacy Policy at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

6.b) Duration of retention

We do not store the data we transfer to Facebook. Facebook stores the data as long as it is necessary for the purposes of processing.
Details
See also the section on “Data retention, account deactivation and deletion” (https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/update ) in the Facebook “Data Policy”.

6.c) Legal basis

We have a legitimate interest in successful recruitment. The GDPR allows us to process data in this case. Also note the legal information provided in Section I. 3 Information on data transfer to the US. Wiethe is responsible for transferring data to Facebook. Facebook then helps us to improve the effectiveness of our job adverts. Facebook has sole responsibility for its handling of the data. We have no further influence on this. This division of tasks means that Facebook and Wiethe are jointly responsible for data processing (in accordance with Article 26 GDPR). We only disclose the data to Facebook with your consent.
Details

The legal basis for data processing is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in effective recruitment). In accordance with Section 25(1) TDDDG, your consent is nevertheless required. Since Facebook Inc. is a company based in a “third country that is not data secure”, we are dependent on your consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR in conjunction with Article 49 GDPR to be able to transfer your personal data to the US. For details about the risks and security measures, see Section I. 3 Information on data transfer to the US.

6.d) Possibility of objection and removal

You can object to the transmission of data to Facebook at any time in the privacy settings. If you have a Facebook account, you can also disable the “Custom Audiences” feature at https://www.facebook.com/adpreferences/advertisers/?entry_product=ad_preferences_delegation. Facebook has also provided instructions on how to do this.

7. Matomo

7.a) Purpose of the collection and use of data

Matomo provides us with statistical information on user activity on our website. Data are collected anonymously.

Details
This website uses the open source software program Matomo (formerly PIWIK, www.matomo.org) for statistical analysis of visits to the website. Matomo uses cookies to do so (see also 2.a). In the process, data may be recorded, processed and stored, from which anonymous user profiles are created. The data collected is those specified in 1.a) and, in addition
  • a pseudonymised identification number
  • your IP address (the last number block of the IP address is removed for anonymisation on our Matomo server)
  • country and municipality of origin (by determining longitude and latitude using the shortened IP address)
  • the device used (including language settings, browser version and display size)
  • possibly the URL of the external link on our website that you use to leave the website
The information collected by Matomo for this purpose is transmitted to the server on which our website is hosted and forwarded to our Matomo server, where it is processed by Matomo software for usage analytics. The Matomo server is located in Germany. Your IP address will be anonymised immediately after processing, before storage. Matomo’s Privacy Policy is available here: https://matomo.org/privacy-policy/.

7.b) Duration of retention

Your full IP address will only be used in full for as long as it is necessary to anonymise it. All data will be automatically deleted within 7 weeks.

Details

Once the data are no longer needed to achieve the purpose, they will be deleted; where the IP address is concerned, this is the case when anonymisation has taken place. For technical reasons, this process takes less than one second. All other data will be automatically deleted after 186 days.

7.c) Legal basis

The General Data Protection Regulation and the TDDDG allow us to analyse visits in this way.

Details

The legal basis for the use of the data is the pursuit of our legitimate interests in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our website (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) by means of collecting anonymous usage data and producing statistics from those data.

If the relevant consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

7.d) Possibility of objection and removal

You may object to data processing by Matomo.

Details

The user of this website can opt out of the analytics process, either by using the “Do Not Track” setting in his or her browser, or by removing the check mark above.

8. Vimeo Video

8.a) Purpose of the collection and use of data

We embed videos provided by the Vimeo service into our website. Vimeo is a company based on the USA. The Google Analytics service is integrated with these videos. Tracking is done by Vimeo. We have no influence on this. Vimeo also uses tracking pixels (web beacons) for embedded videos. The Vimeo privacy policy contains information about how you can influence Vimeo tracking yourself: https://vimeo.com/privacy.

10. LinkedIn

10.a) Purpose of the collection and use of data

We collect data about you on this website with the help of the LinkedIn career network in order to be able to make you suitable offers within LinkedIn. This also allows us to see the effectiveness of our LinkedIn advertising. It also tells us something about our visitors, which helps us to always customise the website to our target groups.

You can find out exactly what data is transferred with LinkedIn Insight from LinkedIn (based in Ireland and the USA) (e.g. in the FAQ on the LinkedIn Insight tag: https://www.linkedin.com/help/lms/answer/a427660?lang=de). We have no influence on this.

Please also note that you use our LinkedIn page linked here (https://www.linkedin.com/company/wiethe-group-gmbh) at your own risk. This applies in particular to the use of the interactive functions (e.g. commenting, sharing, rating). The information to be found on our LinkedIn page is an additional offer.

Details

This website uses the LinkedIn Insight tag. The provider of this service is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland, which belongs to the US company LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

With the help of the LinkedIn Insight tag, we receive information about you when you visit our website. If you are registered with LinkedIn, we can analyse your key professional data (e.g. career level, company size, country, location, industry and job title) and thus better tailor our site to the respective target groups. The LinkedIn Insight tag also makes it possible to track the effectiveness of LinkedIn advertising (conversation tracking). Conversion measurement can also be carried out across devices (e.g. from PC to tablet). The LinkedIn Insight tag also offers a retargeting function that allows us to show you targeted advertising outside the website, although LinkedIn does not identify you.

LinkedIn itself also collects data about your visits to our site (URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser characteristics and time of access). The IP addresses are shortened or (if they are used to reach LinkedIn members across devices) hashed (pseudonymised).

The data collected by LinkedIn cannot be assigned to specific individuals by us as the website operator. LinkedIn will store the personal data collected from website visitors on its servers in the USA and use it for its own advertising purposes. Details can be found in LinkedIn’s privacy policy at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy#choices-oblig.

We would like to point out that you use our LinkedIn page offered here (https://www.linkedin.com/company/wiethe-group-gmbh) and its functions on your own responsibility. This applies in particular to the use of the interactive functions (e.g. commenting, sharing, rating).

The information and publications to be found on our LinkedIn page are a voluntary additional offer.

10.b) Duration of retention

We do not store any personal data on our systems that is passed on to LinkedIn. You can find out how long the data is stored at LinkedIn from LinkedIn itself (e.g. in the FAQ for the LinkedIn tag: https://www.linkedin.com/help/lms/answer/a427660?lang=de).
