If I sign up for LinkedIn and provide PII for that, then the purpose for which the PII can be processed is in order to handle my interaction with LinkedIn. If I signed up to LinkedIn before 2012, and LinkedIn bought Slideshare in 2012, then LinkedIn could only claim that my PII is still being processed for its original purpose when used by Slideshare if Slideshare was made an integral part of LinkedIn. If Slideshare is then sold to a third party, then it definitely is not an integral part of LinkedIn, and applying my PII in its operation is not processing it for the purpose it was originally collected for. LinkedIn does not have the legal right to bundle my PII in its sale of Slideshare to Scribd, and even if Scribd were to receive my PII, it would not legally be able to use it.
