3. WHAT DATA WE PROCESS ABOUT YOU We are processing the following personal data on our website:
∙ if you interact with the content of our page (like, share), we can view your public profile, which includes your name, professional experience, academic studies, qualifications etc. and the action taken;
∙ if you comment on a page post, we have access to your public profile which includes your name, professional experience, academic studies, qualifications etc. as well as the content and date of that comment.
When you follow or interact with our page, LinkedIn processes certain personal data based on which it provides us with aggregated statistics. The data we have access to do not include personal data directly, but are limited to:
∙ the number of followers and their demographic distribution (industry, city and country ∙ number of views distributed per day;
∙ aggregated demographic data: occupation, country, region, seniority, industry, company size;
∙ the number of views for life pages
∙ the number of clicks, impressions (number of page content impressions), likes, comments, shares;
When we customize the audience of our Linkedin posts or advertising campaigns, we can set professional and geographic categories that may include you (e.g. HR professionals in Romania). When we post recruitment ads, depending on the criteria we set, LinkedIn provides us with a list of people who, according to its algorithms, match our criteria from the very beginning. These people are included in the list without our control, but only if they have the Open Candidates option enabled, which allows you to let recruiters know you are interested in job offers. In addition, our recruitment staff may also search on LinkedIn for profiles that meet our needs, in which case we shall seek to comply with the Open Candidates option. If the option is enabled, we will be able to save your profile and contact you directly. If you see one of our recruitment ads on LinkedIn and send us your application, we will receive all the data submitted by you (CV and cover letter, if you attached them, as well as your LinkedIn profile). The processing of these data beyond your application via LinkedIn is subject to our recruitment information notice, the link to which can be found in the recruitment notice.
Also, when we use LinkedIn to promote job postings, we can customize the audience of these ads by setting the industries we want to target. LinkedIn provides us with aggregated statistics related to the job ad (Job traffic details), which contain the following data about those who interact with our ad: company they work for, number of views of the ad, number of views with the intention to apply (view to apply rate), number of clicks and applications. LinkedIn automatically offers us (without our control) suggestions of suitable candidates, which means that we have access to the data you choose to share during the recruitment.
To set your LinkedIn access rights to your data individually in the context of the LinkedIn recruitment, see the LinkedIn settings section. The data that may be collected and processed through LinkedIn for this customization are determined by LinkedIn without our involvement. These data are collected and processed by LinkedIn, but we only have access to the categories already established by LinkedIn. For more details, please access the LinkedIn Policy https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.
These data are processed in our legitimate interest to promote our brand and activity , as well as in order to prove, if necessary, our correspondence with you through comments on posts. For data processed from our job applications, the processing is carried out in the legitimate interest of filling open vacancies in our organisation. The data are kept for the entire period as long as our page is running, except the data processed during the recruitment stage, which are subject to the specific information notice and the related processing period. You must understand that all these data are available at any time to LinkedIn, as the owner of the platform (and implicitly the controller of your personal data). For more details, please access the LinkedIn processing policy https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.
We do not use your data to send you marketing communications unless you expressly opt-in for such communication. Even in such cases, we ensure that you have a simple option to unsubscribe (withdrawal of your consent) at any time, either in the communication itself or by contacting us as indicated in Section 2. For commercial communications managed by LinkedIn, you have a number of settings that you can set through the dedicated means provided by LinkedIn. Providing personal data is not mandatory, and you can individually set LinkedIn’s access rights to your data. However, you must understand that, within the limits of this filter available to you, LinkedIn works in a consistent way for all pages and all users. Therefore, if you interact with our page (you are also free not to interact with our page), we may automatically have access to certain data about you, as described above. To individually set LinkedIn’s access rights to your data you can see the LinkedIn Settings section https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy#choices.
