Social Media Privacy Policy
Braingroup has integrated components (buttons, icons, videos) from the social network LinkedIn. The purpose of integrating the social media component is to draw visitors' attention to our other communication channels, raise awareness of this website, and increase our visitor numbers.
If you visit a page on braingroup.ch with integrated social network components, your internet browser automatically downloads a representation of the buttons from the corresponding social networks. Social networks such as LinkedIn always receive information via this component that you have visited our website. The social network receives information about which specific subpage of our website you visit and assigns the information to your account.
Additional information on the individual social networks:
We have integrated a LinkedIn component into our website braingroup.ch. LinkedIn is operated by LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. LinkedIn Ireland, Privacy Policy Issues, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland, is responsible for data protection matters outside the USA. LinkedIn's applicable privacy policy can be found at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy .

We sporadically send newsletters or mailings with news about our products and services and invitations to conferences and other Braingroup training courses and events. You can revoke your consent to the use of your data for sending the newsletter at any time, for example, via the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter.

Please note, however, that no data protection agreement is signed for the demo phase. Therefore, please ensure that no sensitive client data is collected. Braingroup assumes no liability for any potential data breaches.
