We welcome you to the BLOCK Transformatoren-Elektronik GmbH company page on LinkedIn. We use the technical platforms and services of LinkedIn Corporation ("LinkedIn") to provide these company pages.

LinkedIn is a social network that, in addition to creating private profiles, also enables the creation of company pages. For example, photos, videos and other company information can be uploaded on these pages. Other LinkedIn users have access to this information and can share and comment on this content. In the same way these users can also write their own posts and tag BLOCK in these on their private pages.

In order for you to feel comfortable using the BLOCK company page on LinkedIn, we make transparent for you which personal data we process and, among other things, also present the legally defined rights that exist for you in connection with the processing. Personal data are all data that can be related to you personally, e.g. name, email address or user behavior. 

We wish to note that you use this LinkedIn-page and its functions on your own responsibility. This applies in particular to the use of the interactive functions (e.g. commenting, sharing, rating). Alternatively, you can also access some of the information offered on this page on our company website www.block.eu.

2. Information about the processing of personal data by BLOCK

As the operator of the BLOCK company page on LinkedIn, BLOCK has access to statistical evaluations concerning access of the BLOCK company page. This data is available in an aggregated and anonymized form and does not allow BLOCK to draw any conclusions about the individual visitors to the BLOCK company website. BLOCK uses the statistical evaluations in order to make the information provided to visitors of the BLOCK company website attractive on a continuing basis and to align it with user interests. 

If users are logged into LinkedIn via a user account when the BLOCK company page is called up, selected profile master data, such as the branch of the user's employer, can also be included in the statistical evaluations. This information is not available if you log out of your LinkedIn account beforehand. 

Visitors to the BLOCK company website also have the opportunity, within the context of visiting the website, to use interactive functions, such as the like, share or comment functions. This use generally requires the visitor to log into LinkedIn. With this use, personal data and information are visible for BLOCK and also for other visitors to the company website and a direct identification of a person can potentially be made. BLOCK has no influence on the interactive functionalities and the visibility of user activities on the BLOCK company website at LinkedIn. 

At this juncture, we explicitly wish to point out that the BLOCK company page on LinkedIn can of course also be visited without using these interactive functionalities. 

The BLOCK company website also offers the option of contacting BLOCK by message using the specified contact channels. The information transmitted in this way is processed on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 Clause f GDPR (legitimate interest). We use this information only for the purpose of answering inquiries in a targeted manner.
