The LinkedIn Insight Tag is a piece of JavaScript code that we add to our websites, with your concent, through Google Tag Manager, to enable in-depth campaign reporting and to help us unlock valuable insights about our website visitors.
Processing company
Gardner House, 2 Wilton Pl, Dublin 2, Ierland
Data Purposes
We use the LinkedIn Insight Tag to track conversions, retarget website visitors, and unlock additional insights about members interacting with our LinkedIn adverts.
LinkedIn does not share the personal data with Athlon, it only provides reports and alerts (which do not identify you) about the website audience and ad performance. LinkedIn also provides retargeting for website visitors, enabling the website owner to show personalized ads off its website by using this data, but without identifying the member. LinkedIn also uses data that does not identify you to improve ad relevance and reach members across devices. LinkedIn members can control the use of their personal data for advertising purposes through their account settings.
Technologies Used
- Pixel
- Google Tag Manager
Data Collected
The LinkedIn Insight Tag enables the collection of data regarding members’ visits to your website, including the URL, referrer, IP address, device and browser characteristics (User Agent), and timestamp.
Legal Basis
In the following the required legal basis for the processing of data is listed.
- Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. a GDPR
Location of Processing
United States of America
Retention Period
The IP addresses are truncated or (when used for reaching members across devices) hashed, and members’ direct identifiers are removed within seven days in order to make the data pseudonymous. This remaining pseudonymized data is then deleted within 180 days.
