Share on social media networks
DNA LAW uses a social plug-in to enable you to share Website’s information on LinkedIn through “Share on LinkedIn” buttons. For visitors located outside of the U.S., the linkedin.com website is operated by LinkedIn Ireland U.C, 77 Sir John Rogerson’s Quay, Dublin, 2 Ireland. If you reside in the U.S., the responsible legal entity will be the LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States.
For privacy and personal data protection motives, DNA LAW deliberately opted against using direct social network plug-ins on the Website. DNA LAW chooses an alternative technical solution that enables you to decide whether to transmit data to the social network operators and when. Thus when you visit the Website, data are never automatically transmitted to LinkedIn. Only when you actively click on the respective button yourself will your web browser connect to the servers of LinkedIn, i.e. clicking on elements then clicking on the social network’s icon indicates your consent to your browser connecting to the servers of LinkedIn and sending usage data to that social network operator, whether or not you are a subscriber of such social network.
Please note that DNA LAW has no influence over the nature or scope of data that social networks may then gather. For information regarding the purpose and scope of data collection, further processing and use of data by social networks and regarding your data privacy rights and relevant configuration settings, please consult the social networks’ respective data privacy advisories.
