People you want to invite to the social network or other XING application

As a user, you can invite other people to join and use XING. We process the data recorded here solely for this purpose.
After a certain period we send out a reminder e-mail ("automatic reminder") on your behalf to the person you invited. You can prevent this automatic reminder from being sent by deleting the invitation in your settings. You also have the option of sending your own reminder e-mails manually. We save the e-mail addresses that invitations are sent to in encrypted form. This encryption is temporarily suspended to display the e-mail addresses in your account. You can delete this data in your account at any time.
Every person you invite has the option to object to invitations being sent to their e-mail address from that point onwards.
Please note that, depending on the invitation feature used, recipients may be shown the following information in the invitation you send:

Your name
Your company
Your job title
Your e-mail address
Your photo
Your user status
