Privacy Policy and Terms of Use

Retention of Your Personal Data

We will retain your personal data as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes specified in the Terms unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by applicable law.

Personal data is stored as long as you have an active relationship with us or our digital channels or until you ask us to delete stored information about you. We define a relationship with us or our digital channels as satisfying one or more of the following criteria: (i) being a customer or business partner of ours, (ii) having consented to receive marketing information from us, (iii) actively requesting contact with us via social media, electronic messages, or electronic forms, (iv) actively engaging in our digital channels after you have provided consent. The relationship is defined as active if it has been exercised within the past 24 months.

Retention of anonymized data is not subject to such limitations or requirements.

Who We Share Your Data With

We may share personal data with:

• Data processors who work as service providers on our behalf and process your data according to our instructions. Such sub-processors are not permitted to use personal data for any other purpose than to provide the service agreed upon with us. We have entered into data processing agreements with our suppliers to ensure your privacy.
• Other parties if you have provided us with your consent.

We may also share information:

• In legally mandated cases, such as by orders from courts, the police, or other public authorities.
• In connection with business transfers, for example, as part of a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or transfer of services to another company. In such cases, you will be notified via email and/or see a notice on our digital channels about any changes in ownership, use of your personal information, and your choices regarding your personal data.

We may transfer your data to countries outside the EU/EEA (third countries), as some of our suppliers are located there. We ensure that your data is safeguarded by entering into EU standard contractual clauses with recipients. You can read more about the EU’s standard clauses for transferring personal data to third countries here, or contact us for more information.

Third Parties and Social Media

Our websites may contain links to websites/apps belonging to third parties. Such third parties have their own policies that govern their collection and disclosure of data. We recommend that you read their privacy policies to become familiar with their practices.

Social media offers tools and links that we may integrate on our websites. If you choose to use such tools or links, the social media platforms may collect data from your visit to our website. We also have social media pages where we share information about our products and engage with users. On such social media pages, we may receive anonymized information, such as statistics on our users’ ages, genders, and locations. We may also receive information you choose to share with us, such as chat messages, comments, and likes.

Your use of social media is subject to their privacy policies and terms. Your chosen privacy settings on these platforms determine the extent to which your data is publicly disclosed. We recommend setting your privacy preferences accordingly.

Since we share joint responsibility with social media for the data processed in connection with your use of social media tools or links on our website, and for the combined insights we gain from your engagement with our social media pages, you can also contact us for further information or to exercise your privacy rights. Note, however, that we may not be able to respond to all questions and may need to refer you to the social media platforms for further information.

Since social media providers can be located anywhere in the world, personal data may be transferred worldwide when using the transfer basis described in the section “Who We Share Your Data With.”

Your Privacy Rights

You have several privacy rights. You can exercise these by using the contact information below to reach out to us. Your rights include:

• Information: Further information about how we process your data.
• Access: A copy of the data we hold about you.
• Correction: To correct and supplement information about you.

• Objection: To object to our use of your data. You can also object to being subject to individual decisions of a legal nature that are purely automated.

Please note that these rights are subject to limitations under law. We will respond to your request as soon as possible, typically within one month. If you believe that we are processing personal data unlawfully, you have the right to complain to the Norwegian Data Protection Authority. We encourage you to contact us first so we can address your concerns and clarify any misunderstandings.

How We Protect Your Data

Protecting your personal data is a high priority for us, and we continually work to protect personal data and other confidential information. Security work includes physical, technical, and administrative measures, such as securing personnel, information, IT infrastructure, internal and public networks, as well as office buildings and technical facilities.

Security efforts also involve regular risk assessments and reviews of factors such as available technology, business needs, and legal requirements. This ensures that we always have sufficient security measures to, for example, prevent personal data from being compromised.

Changes to the Terms

As our business and tools evolve, we may need to update the Terms. You will be notified of any significant changes. You will always find the latest version of our privacy policy on our website.
