If you revisit our site to use our services, the system will automatically detect that you have already been to the site and what entries and settings you made so that you do not have to enter them again.

6. Analysis tools
a) Tracking tools
The tracking measures listed below and used by us are based on para. 1 sentence 1 letter f of the DSGVO. The tracking measures we use are designed to ensure that our website is fit for purpose and can undergo continuous improvement. On the other hand, we use tracking measures to record the statistics about the use of our website and to evaluate the improvement of our offering for you. These interests are regarded as justified in the sense of the regulation named above.
The relevant data processing purposes and data categories are shown in the various tracking tools.
i) Google Analytics
For the purposes of ensuring that our website is fit for purpose and can undergo continuous improvement, we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/) (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter known as "Google"). Pseudonymised user profiles are created in this respect and cookies (see No. 4) are used. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website such as
Browser type/version,
Operating system used,
Referrer URL (the site you visited previously),
Host name of the accessing computer (IP address),
Time of the server query,
is transferred to a Google server in the USA where it is saved. The information is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activities and to provide other services linked to website use and internet use for the purposes of market research and ensuring that these websites are fit for use. This information may also be transferred to third parties if this is required by law or if the third parties have been engaged to process the data. In no circumstances will your IP address be combined with other data by Google. The IP addresses are anonymised so that they cannot be identified (IP masking).
You may refuse the installation of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser software, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.
You may also prevent the data generated by the cookie and relating to your website use (including your IP address) and this data being processed 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, particularly for browsers on mobile devices, you can also prevent recording by Google Analytics by clicking on this Link. This sets an opt-out cookie which prevents the future recording of your data when you visit this website. The opt-out cookie is only valid in this browser and only for our website and will be filed on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you will have to reset the opt-out cookie.
Further information about data protection relating to Google Analytics is available in the Google Analytics help section
(https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de).
ii) Google Adwords conversion tracking
We also use Google conversion tracking to record the statistics relating to the use of our website and to improve our website for you. This means that Google Adwords sets a cookie (see number 5) on your computer if you navigated to our website from a Google advertisement.
These cookies become invalid after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages on the website of the Adwords customer and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the customer can detect that the user has clicked on the advertisement and has been forwarded to this page.
Each Adwords customer receives a different cookie. This means that cookies cannot be traced using the websites of Adwords customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Adwords customers who have decided to use conversion tracking. Adwords customers are notified of the total number of users who have clicked on the advertisement and have been forwarded to the page featuring a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information which enables them to identify users in person.
If you do not wish to partake in the tracking process, you can also refuse the setting of a cookie required for this purpose – for example, using a browser setting which generally disables the automatic setting of cookies. You can also disable cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser so that cookies from the domain "www.googleadservices.com" are blocked. Google's privacy policy for conversion tracking can be found here:
(https://services.google.com/sitestats/de.html)
iii) Web analysis using Matomo (formerly Piwik).
Scope of processing of personal data:
We use the software "Matomo" (www.matomo.org) on this website, a service provided by InnoCraft Ltd, 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand. The software sets a cookie (a text file) on your research, with which your browser can be recognized. If subpages of our website are called up, the following data is stored:
- the IP address of the user, shortened by the last two bytes (anonymized)
- the sub-page called up and the time of the call-up
- the page from which the user accessed our website (referrer)
- which browser with which plugins, which operating system and which screen resolution is used
- the time spent on the website
- the pages that are visited from the sub-page accessed
The data collected with Matomo is stored on our own servers. It is not passed on to third parties.
Legal basis
The legal basis on which we process personal data using Matomo is Art. 6 (1) lit. f of the DSGVO.
Purpose of the data processing
We need the data to analyze the surfing behavior of users and to obtain information about usage of the individual components of the website. This enables us to continuously optimize the website and its user-friendliness. These purposes are the basis of our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. By anonymizing the IP address, we take into account the interest of users in the protection of personal data. The data will never be used to personally identify the user of the website and will not be merged with other data.
Duration of storage:
The data is deleted when it is no longer needed for our purposes.
Possibility of objection
You can object to the recording of data in the manner described above in three different ways:
7. Operation of our external fan pages (social networks)
In the following we inform you about the handling of your personal data, especially through the use of our social network presences and offers.
Please check carefully which personal data you share with us via social networks. For example, as long as you are logged into your personal account and visit our profile at the respective provider, the provider can assign this directly to your profile. You are thus clearly identifiable to the provider.
Your visit history can thereby be used by the provider to create a profile about you. We expressly point out that the providers store the data of their users (e.g. personal information, IP address, etc.) and may also use this data for business purposes.
Basically, we operate the pages and profiles in order to be able to contact customers, interested parties and employees as well as potential employees better and more conveniently. The past has shown that our activities beyond the online presence in form of a website lead to a significantly higher market penetration and thus contact opportunities. For this reason, activities in social networks are an essential factor for our business success. For the use of the services, we therefore refer to an explicit legitimate interest on our part (Article 6(1)(f)). When you use our profile pages in the respective social networks, in addition to the personal data that you yourself passed on to the provider when you created your access, usage data is collected. As a rule the respective provider creates a personalised usage profile. However, this is not within our sphere of influence. Our activity only enables the provider to record that you have been interested in our company and that you may like our contributions. Apart from the tracking carried out by the provider without our sphere of influence, there are therefore knowingly no factors which would restrict your fundamental rights and freedoms and which would counteract our legitimate interest in using the services mentioned. In the case of the aforementioned tracking (recording and evaluation of your user behavior by the provider), we hope for a prompt clarification and creation of legal certainty.
Under the following link you can efficiently configure your browser to counteract the unwanted recording of your user behaviour, but probably not completely:

In the latter case, you have a general right of objection which will be implemented by us without you having to quote a specific situation.
If you wish to exercise your right of revocation or objection, simply send an email to datenschutz@inter-connect.world or info@inter-connect.world.
10. Data security
During your website visit, we use the widespread SSL (Secure Socket Layer) method together with the highest encryption level supported by your browser. Generally, this is 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we use 128-bit v3 technology instead. You can detect whether a specific page on our website is transmitted in encrypted form by the closed image of the key or lock symbol in the bottom status bar of your browser.
We also use suitable technical and organisational security measures to protect your data from accidental or malicious manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction and to prevent unauthorised access by third parties. Our security measures are improved on an ongoing basis as technological development advances.
