To book the option, we must pass this data on to the tour operator. In this regard, please observe point 3 of this privacy policy.
Should you not take up the binding option, we store the personal data you have left for a period of 8 weeks, so that you do not have to enter all the data again for a renewed option booking.

If you would like to send us an encrypted email with application documents, please use exclusively the email address career@inter-connect.world
We use cookies on our site. These are small files that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your device (laptop, tablet, smartphone or similar) when you visit our site. Cookies do not cause any damage to your device, do not contain any viruses, Trojans or other malware.
Information is stored in the cookie that arises in each case in connection with the specific device used. However, this does not mean that we thereby gain direct knowledge of your identity.
The use of cookies serves on the one hand to make the use of our offering more pleasant for you. Thus we use so-called session cookies in order to recognise that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after you leave our site.
In addition, likewise to optimise user-friendliness, we use temporary cookies that are stored on your device for a certain defined period. If you visit our site again in order to make use of our services, it is automatically recognised that you have already been with us and which entries and settings you have made, so that you do not have to enter these again.
On the other hand, we use cookies in order to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimising our offering for you (see section 6). These cookies enable us, on a renewed visit to our site, to automatically recognise that you have already been with us. These cookies are automatically deleted after a defined time in each case.
The data processed by cookies is required for the aforementioned purposes to safeguard our legitimate interests as well as those of third parties pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.
Most browsers accept cookies automatically. However, you can configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your computer or so that a notice always appears before a new cookie is created. The complete deactivation of cookies can, however, result in you not being able to use all functions of our website.
Further cookie use:
Furthermore, we use the following third party cookies (cookies from the following third-party providers) for advertising purposes:
a) Tracking tools
The tracking measures listed below and used by us are carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. With the tracking measures employed, we want to ensure a needs-based design and the continuous optimisation of our website. On the other hand, we use the tracking measures in order to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimising our offering for you. These interests are to be regarded as legitimate within the meaning of the aforementioned provision.
The respective data processing purposes and data categories can be found in the corresponding tracking tools.
b) Google Analytics
For the purpose of needs-based design and continuous optimisation of our pages, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service of Google Inc. (https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/) (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter „Google“). In this context, pseudonymised usage profiles are created and cookies (see under section 4) are used. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website such as
is transmitted to a server of Google in the USA and stored there. The information is used in order to evaluate the use of the website, in order to compile reports on the website activities and in order to provide further services connected with the website use and internet use for the purposes of market research and needs-based design of these internet pages. This information is also transferred to third parties where applicable, insofar as this is legally prescribed or insofar as third parties process this data on our behalf. Your IP address is in no case merged with other data from Google. The IP addresses are anonymised, so that an assignment is not possible (IP masking).
You can prevent the installation of the cookies by means of a corresponding setting of the browser software; we point out, however, that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent.
You can furthermore prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (incl. your IP address) as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing a browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).
As an alternative to the browser add-on, in particular for browsers on mobile devices, you can additionally prevent collection by Google Analytics by clicking on this link. An opt-out cookie is set, which prevents the future collection of your data when you visit this website. The opt-out cookie only applies in this browser and only for our website and is stored on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you must set the opt-out cookie again.
You will find further information on data protection in connection with Google Analytics for instance in the Google Analytics Help
(https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de).
c) Google AdWords Conversion Tracking
In order to statistically record the use of our website and for the purpose of optimising our website, we furthermore use Google Conversion Tracking. In doing so, Google AdWords sets a cookie (see section 5) on your computer, provided you reached our website via a Google ad.
These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and do not serve personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of the website of the AdWords customer and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognise that the user clicked on the ad and was forwarded to this page.
Every AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can thus not be tracked across the websites of AdWords customers. The information obtained with the help of the conversion cookie serves to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. The AdWords customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were forwarded to a page provided with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information by which users can be personally identified.
If you do not wish to take part in the tracking procedure, you can also refuse the setting of a cookie required for this – for instance via browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies. You can also deactivate cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser so that cookies from the domain „www.googleadservices.com“ are blocked. You will find Google’s data protection notice on conversion tracking here (https://services.google.com/sitestats/de.html).
This site uses so-called web fonts, which are provided by Google, for the uniform display of fonts. When a page is accessed, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly. For this purpose, the browser you use must establish a connection to the servers of Google. Through this, Google gains knowledge that our website was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offerings. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font is used by your computer. You will find further information on Google Web Fonts at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in the privacy policy of Google: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.
In the following we inform you about the handling of your personal data, in particular about the use of our presences in social networks and offerings.
Please check carefully which personal data you share with us via social networks. As long as you are, for example, logged in to your respective account and visit our profile operated with the providers, the provider can assign this directly to your profile. You are thereby clearly identifiable for the provider.
Your visit history can thus be used to create a profile about you by the provider. We expressly point out that the providers store the data of their users (e.g. personal information, IP address etc.) and, if necessary, also use this for business purposes.
In principle, we operate the pages and profiles in order to be able to get in contact better and more conveniently with customers, interested parties and employees as well as potential employees. The past has shown us that our activities beyond the online presence in the form of a website lead to a significantly higher market penetration and thus contact opportunity. For this reason, the activities in the social networks are an essential factor for our business success for us. For the use of the services we therefore refer to an express legitimate interest on our part (Article 6 paragraph 1 lit. f). Through the use of our profile pages in the respective social networks, in addition to the personal data that you yourself passed on to the provider when creating your access, usage data is collected and as a rule the respective provider creates a personalised usage profile. However, this does not lie within our sphere of influence. Our activity only enables the provider to record that you had an interest in our company and that you possibly like our posts. Apart from the tracking carried out by the provider without our sphere of influence, there are therefore knowingly no factors that would restrict your fundamental rights and freedoms and would counteract our legitimate interest in the use of the aforementioned services. In the case of the aforementioned tracking (recording and evaluation of your user behaviour by the provider), we of course also hope for a timely clarification and creation of legal certainty.
Under the following link you can have your browser efficiently configured in order to counteract the unwanted recording of your user behaviour, although presumably not to its full extent:

Within the website visit we use the widespread SSL procedure (Secure Socket Layer) in conjunction with the respective highest encryption level supported by your browser. As a rule, this is a 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we instead resort to 128-bit v3 technology. Whether an individual page of our internet presence is transmitted encrypted, you can recognise by the closed display of the key or lock symbol in the lower status bar of your browser.
We otherwise make use of suitable technical and organisational security measures in order to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or against unauthorised access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological development.
This privacy policy is currently valid and is as of January 2020.
Through the further development of our website and offerings via it or due to changed statutory or official requirements, it may become necessary to amend this privacy policy. The respective current privacy policy can be accessed and printed out by you at any time on the website at https://www.inter-connect.world.
