- LinkedIn member identification information necessary to associate the authorization with the correct account;

Website operation and security
To operate, maintain, troubleshoot and protect the website. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in providing a secure and functional website.

LinkedIn Journal Sync
To retrieve, organize and display the authorized member’s own LinkedIn publications on Human Behind Tech.
The service operates following the member’s explicit authorization. Depending on the processing activity, the legal basis may be consent or performance of a service requested by the member.
Where consent is the legal basis, it may be withdrawn at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
5. LinkedIn Integration
Human Behind Tech – Journal Sync is intended to help an authorized LinkedIn member maintain a professional publication archive on franskin.be.
Subject to LinkedIn’s API permissions, the application may retrieve eligible publications, generate summaries, assign editorial categories, associate images and create or update WordPress Journal entries.
The application is designed to:
- Access only data permitted by LinkedIn and authorized by the relevant member;
- Avoid duplicate publications;
- Preserve attribution and original LinkedIn links;
- Limit access to authorized administrators;
- Support disconnection and deletion of imported data;
- Avoid selling LinkedIn member data or using it for advertising or unrelated profiling.
Data access and synchronization will be subject to LinkedIn’s applicable API terms and technical restrictions.
The application will not access private messages or unrelated member information unless separately authorized, necessary and expressly disclosed through an updated privacy notice.
6. Publication and Visibility
Content intentionally published in The Journal may be publicly accessible, including publication titles, excerpts, images, categories and original LinkedIn links.
Removing a publication from LinkedIn does not necessarily remove an existing copy from WordPress automatically. Where supported, synchronization processes may identify deletions; otherwise, removal can be requested through our privacy contact.
7. Data Sharing and Service Providers
Personal data may be processed by service providers necessary to operate the website and authorized integrations, including:
- Website hosting and technical infrastructure providers;
- WordPress and installed software service providers where applicable;
- LinkedIn, in connection with its authentication and data-access services;
- Other processors used for security, maintenance or authorized content processing.
Processors acting on our behalf are expected to provide appropriate data protection safeguards.
We do not sell personal data.

Some technology providers may process personal data outside the European Economic Area.
Where applicable, we will use appropriate transfer mechanisms and safeguards required by the GDPR, such as European Commission adequacy decisions or Standard Contractual Clauses.

These may include encrypted communications, access controls, restricted administrator permissions, secure credential storage, software updates, backups and monitoring.
No internet-based service can guarantee absolute security.
