The mission of LinkedTour is to connect professionals from all over the world and make them more efficient and successful. At the core of this mission is our commitment to be transparent about the data we collect about you, how to use it and who to share it with.
This Privacy Policy applies to your use of our Services (as described below). We offer our users choices about the data we collect, use and share as described in this Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Settings and our Help Center.
To create an account you need to provide data including your name, email address and/or mobile number, general location (e. g. city), and a password.
A complete profile helps you get the most from LinkedTour Services.
You and others may post content containing relevant information about you on our service (as part of articles, posts and comments). We may also collect public information about you, such as professional-related news and achievements, as part of our Services.
We log usage data when you visit or otherwise use our Services, including our sites, app and platform technology, such as when you view or click on content (e. g. learning video) or ads (on or off our sites and apps), perform a search, install or update one of our mobile apps, share articles or apply for jobs. We use log-ins, cookies, device information and internet protocol ("IP") addresses to identify you and log your use.
As further described in our Cookie policy, we use cookies and similar techniques (e.g. pixels and ad tags) to collect data (e. g. device IDs) to recognize you and your device(s) on, off and across different services and devices where you have engaged with our Services. We also allow some others to use cookies as described in our Cookie Policy. If you are outside the Designated Countries, we also collect (or rely on others who collect) information about your device where you have not engaged with our Services (e. g. ad ID, IP address, operating system and browser information) so we can provide our Members with relevant ads and better understand their effectiveness.
You have the right to accept or reject cookies. You can refuse to accept cookies and similar technologies by modifying your browser settings or setting them on your mobile device. However, if you choose to reject cookies, you may not be able to log in or use the travel platform services or functions that rely on cookies.
| Type of technology | Description |
|---|---|
| Cookies | A cookie is a small file placed onto your device that enables LinkedTour features and functionality. Any browser visiting our sites may receive cookies from us or cookies from third parties such as our customers, partners or service providers. We or third parties may also place cookies in your browser when you visit non-LinkedTour sites that display ads or that host our plugins. |
| Pixels | A pixel is a tiny image that may be embedded within web pages and emails, requiring a call (which provides device and visit information) to our servers in order for the pixel to be rendered in those web pages and emails. We use pixels to learn more about your interactions with email content or web content, such as whether you interacted with ads or posts. Pixels can also enable us and third parties to place cookies on your browser. |
| Local Storage | Local storage enables a website or application to store information locally on your device(s). Local storage may be used to improve the LinkedTour experience, for example, by enabling features, remembering your preferences and speeding up site functionality. |
| Other Similar Technologies | We also use other tracking technologies, such as mobile advertising IDs and tags for similar purposes as described in this Cookie Policy. References to similar technologies in this policy includes pixels, local storage, and other tracking technologies. |
Below we describe the purposes for which we use these technologies.
| Purpose | Description |
|---|---|
| Authentication | We use cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our Services. If you’re signed into LinkedTour, these technologies help us show you the right information and personalize your experience in line with your settings. For example, cookies enable LinkedTour to identify you and verify your account. |
| Security | We use cookies and similar technologies to make your interactions with our Services faster and more secure. For example, we use cookies to enable and support our security features, keep your account safe and to help us detect malicious activity and violations of our User Agreement. |
| Preferences, Features and Services | We use cookies and similar technologies to enable the functionality of our Services, such as helping you to fill out forms on our Services more easily and providing you with features, insights and customized content in conjunction with our plugins. We also use these technologies to remember information about your browser and your preferences. For example, cookies can tell us which language you prefer and what your communications preferences are. We may also use local storage to speed up site functionality. |
| Customized Content | We use cookies and similar technologies to enable LinkedTour plugins both on and off the LinkedTour sites. For example, our plugins, including the "Share" button may be found on LinkedTour or third-party sites, such as the sites of our customers and partners. Our plugins use cookies and other technologies to provide analytics and recognize you on LinkedTour and third-party sites. If you interact with a plugin (for instance, by clicking "Apply"), the plugin will use cookies to identify you and initiate your request to apply. |
| Plugins on and off LinkedTour | We use cookies and similar technologies to customize your experience on our Services. For example, we may use cookies to remember previous searches so that when you return to our services, we can offer additional information that relates to your previous search. |
| Advertising | Cookies and similar technologies help us show relevant advertising to you more effectively, both on and off our Services and to measure the performance of such ads. We use these technologies to learn whether content has been shown to you or whether someone who was presented with an ad later came back and took an action (e.g., downloaded a white paper or made a purchase) on another site. Similarly, our partners or service providers may use these technologies to determine whether we've shown an ad or a post and how it performed or provide us with information about how you interact with ads. We may also work with our customers and partners to show you an ad on or off LinkedTour, such as after you’ve visited a customer’s or partner’s site or application. These technologies help us provide aggregated information to our customers and partners. |
| Analytics and Research | Cookies and similar technologies help us learn more about the performance of our Services and plug-ins in different places. We or our service providers use these technologies to understand, improve and study products, functions and services, including when you browse our website or access LinkedTour from other websites, applications or devices. We or our service providers use these technologies to determine and measure the performance of advertisements or posts on and outside the LinkedTour, and to know whether you interact with our website, content or email, and provide analysis based on these interactions. As part of our services, we also use these technologies to provide comprehensive information to our customers and partners. |
Third parties such as our customers, partners, and service providers may use cookies in our Services.
For example, third parties may use cookies in their LinkedTour pages, job posts and their advertisements on and off LinkedTour for their own marketing purposes. If there is any update of this policy, we will inform you through the website message, APP client push notification or other reasonable ways, so that you can know the latest version of this policy in time.

Your profile is fully visible to all Members and customers of our Services. Subject to your settings, it can also be visible to others on or off of our Services.
Our Services allow viewing and sharing information, including through posts, likes, follows and comments.
When you share an article or a post (e. g. an update, image, or article) publicly it can be viewed by everyone and re-shared anywhere (subject to your settings). Members, visitors and others will be able to find and see your publicly-shared content, including your name (and photo if you have provided one).
In a group, posts are visible to others in the group. Your membership of groups is public and part of your profile, but you can change visibility in your settings.
When you follow a person or organization, you are visible to others and that "page owner" as a follower.
When you like or share or comment on another’s content, others will be able to view these “social actions” and associate it with you (e.g., your name, profile and photo if you provided it).
Subject to your settings, other services may look up your profile. When you opt to link your account with other services, personal data (e.g., your name, title, and company) will become available to them. The sharing and use of that personal data will be described in, or linked to, a consent screen when you opt to link the accounts.
Subject to your settings, excerpts from your profile will appear on the services of others (e.g., search engine results, mail and calendar applications that show a user limited profile data of the person they are meeting or messaging, social media aggregators). “Old” profile information remains on these services until they update their data cache with changes you made to your profile.
It is possible that we will need to disclose information about you when required by law, subpoena, or other legal process or if we have a good faith belief that disclosure is reasonably necessary to (1) investigate, prevent or take action regarding suspected or actual illegal activities or to assist government enforcement agencies; (2) enforce our agreements with you; (3) investigate and defend ourselves against any third-party claims or allegations; (4) protect the security or integrity of our Services (such as by sharing with companies facing similar threats); Or (5) exercise or protect the rights and safety of LinkedTour, our Members, personnel or others. We attempt to notify Members about legal demands for their personal data when appropriate in our judgment, unless prohibited by law or court order or when the request is an emergency. We may dispute such demands when we believe, in our discretion, that the requests are overbroad, vague or lack proper authority, but we do not promise to challenge every demand.
We generally retain your personal data as long as you keep your account open or as needed to provide you with Services. This includes data you or others provided to us and data generated or inferred from your use of our Services. Even if you only use our Services when looking for a new job every few years, we will retain your information and keep your profile open, unless you close your account. In some cases, we choose to retain certain information (e.g. insights about Services use) in a depersonalized or aggregated form.
We provide many choices about the collection, use and sharing of your data, from deleting or correcting data you include in your profile and controlling the visibility of your posts. We provide you with the settings to control and manage your personal data that we have.
For personal data that we have about you, you can:
Delete Data: You can ask us to erase or delete all or some of your personal data (e.g. if it is no longer necessary to provide Services to you).
Change or Correct Data: You can edit some of your personal data through your account. You can also ask us to change, update or fix your data in certain cases, particularly if it's inaccurate.
Object to, or Limit or Restrict, Use of Data: You can ask us to stop using all or some of your personal data (e.g. if we have no legal right to keep using it) or to limit our use of it (e.g. if your personal data is inaccurate or unlawfully held).
Right to Access and/or Take Your Data: You can ask us for a copy of your personal data and can ask for a copy of personal data you provided in machine readable form.
If you choose to close your LinkedTour account, we will usually delete closed account from the LinkedTour within 7 days after the account is closed.
We implement security safeguards designed to protect your data, such as HTTPS. We regularly monitor our systems for possible vulnerabilities and attacks. However, we can not guarantee the security of any information you send to us. There is no guarantee that data may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards. Please visit our Safety Center for additional information about safely using our Services, including two-factor authentication.
We will only collect and process personal data about you where we have a lawful basis. The legal basis includes consent (if you have agreed), contract (if the treatment is necessary to fulfill the contract with you (for example, to deliver the LinkedTour Services you have requested) and "legitimate interests."
Where we rely on your consent to process personal data, you have the right to withdraw or decline your consent at any time and where we rely on legitimate interests, you have the right to object.
