3. What does this policy cover?

   This privacy and cookie policy applies only to your use of Our Site. Our Site may contain links to other websites. Please note that we have no control over how your data is collected, stored or used by other websites and we advise you to check the privacy policies of any such websites before providing any data to them.

4. What is personal data?

   Personal data is defined by the General Data Protection Regulation (EU Regulation 2016/679) (GDPR) and the Law on the Processing of Personal Data (Personal Data Act) 2018 (collectively, ‘the data protection legislation’) as ‘any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by reference to an identifier’.

   Personal data is, in simpler terms, any information about you that enables you to be identified. Personal data covers obvious information such as your name and contact details, but it also covers less obvious information such as identification numbers, electronic location data and other online identifiers.

5. What are my rights?

   Under the data protection legislation, you have the following rights, which we always work to uphold:

   1. The right to be informed about our collection and use of your personal data. This privacy policy should tell you everything you need to know, but you can always contact us to find out more or to ask any questions using the details in part 20.
   2. The right to access the personal data we hold about you. Part 14 will tell you how to do this.
   3. The right to have your personal data rectified if any of your personal data held by us is inaccurate or incomplete. Please contact us using the details in part 20 to find out more.
   4. The right to be forgotten, i.e. the right to ask us to delete or otherwise dispose of any of your personal data that we hold. Please contact us using the details in part 20 to find out more.
   5. The right to restrict, i.e. prevent, the processing of your personal data and the right to object to us using your personal data for a particular purpose or purposes. We comply with these rights, unless there are justified grounds for processing, for example that we are instructed under the law to do so.
   6. The right to withdraw consent. This means that, if we are relying on your consent as the legal basis for using your personal data, you are free to withdraw that consent at any time.
   7. The right to data portability. This means that, if you have provided personal data to us directly, we are using it with your consent or for the performance of a contract, and that data is processed using automated means, you can ask us for a copy of that personal data to re-use with another service or business in many cases.
   8. Rights relating to automated decision-making and profiling. Please note that we do not use your personal data in this way.

   For more information about our use of your personal data or exercising your rights as outlined above, please contact us using the details provided in part 20.

   It is important that your personal data is kept accurate and up to date. If any of the personal data we hold about you changes, please keep us informed as long as we have that data. Further information about your rights can also be obtained from the Norwegian Data Protection Authority or equivalent organisation in other countries within the European Economic Area (EEA).

   If you have any cause for complaint about our use of your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Norwegian Data Protection Authority. We welcome the opportunity to resolve your concerns ourselves however, so please contact us first, using the details in part 20.

6. What data do you collect and how?

   Depending upon your use of Our Site, we may collect and hold some or all of the personal and non-personal data set out in the table below, using the methods also set out in the table. Please also see parts 15 to 19 for more information about our use of cookies and similar technologies. We do not collect any ‘special category’ or ‘sensitive’ personal data, personal data relating to children and data relating to criminal convictions and/or offences.

7. How do you use my personal data?

   Under the data protection legislation, we must always have a lawful basis for using personal data. The following table describes how we may use your personal data and our lawful basis for doing so:

   What we do	What data we use	Our lawful basis
   Compile and analyse statistics for website monitoring and performance, plus website administration	IP address, internet activity, including, but not limited to, browsing history, search history, and information regarding a user’s interaction with a website or application, geolocation data	Consent

   Communicate with you and supply you with information that you have opted in to (you may opt-out at any time)	Identity information, contact information and business information	Consent – legitimate business interests

   With your permission and/or where permitted by law, we may also use your personal data for marketing purposes, which may include contacting you by email with information, announcements, news and service offerings, etc. You will not be sent any unlawful marketing or spam. We will always work to fully protect your rights and comply with our obligations under data protection legislation including the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 and Norwegian Electronic Communications Act. You will always have the opportunity to opt-out when you wish.

   We will only use your personal data for the purpose(s) for which it was originally collected unless we reasonably believe that another purpose is compatible with that or those original purpose(s) and need to use your personal data for that purpose. If we do use your personal data in this way and you wish us to explain how the new purpose is compatible with the original, please contact us using the details in part 20.

   If we need to use your personal data for a purpose that is unrelated to, or incompatible with, the purpose(s) for which it was originally collected, we will inform you and explain the legal basis, which allows us to do so. In some circumstances, where permitted or required by law, we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent. This is only done within the bounds of the data protection legislation and your legal rights.

8. How long will you keep my personal data?

   We do not keep your personal data for any longer than is necessary in light of the reason(s) for which it was first collected. Your personal data will therefore be kept for the following periods (or, where there is no fixed period, the following factors will be used to determine how long it is kept):

   Type of data	How long we keep it
   Identity information, i.e. your name and title	13 months
   Contact information, i.e. your email address and phone number(s)	13 months
   Business information, i.e. your company and job title	13 months
   Technical information, including your IP address, browser type, browser versions and operating system	Dependent on cookie type, but no longer than 13 months

9. How and where do you store or transfer my personal data?

   We store or transfer your personal data within the EEA. This means that your personal data is fully protected under the data protection legislation, GDPR and/or to equivalent standards by law. We may store or transfer some or all of your personal data in countries that are not part of the EEA. These are known as ‘third countries’ and may not have data protection laws that are as strong as those in the UK and/or the EEA. This means that we take additional steps to ensure that your personal data is treated just as safely and securely as it is within Norway.

   The security of your personal data is essential to us and to protect your data, we take a number of important measures, including the following:

   1. Limiting access to your personal data to company employees.
   2. Procedures for dealing with data breaches (the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, your personal data) including notifying you and/or the Norwegian Data Protection Authority where we are legally required to do so.

10. Do you share my personal data?

    We only share data with processors and other third parties for which consent must be obtained, including:

    Name: Google Ireland Ltd. (Google Analytics)
    Country: Ireland/USA
    Purpose: Provides insight into website usage and performance

    Name: Pressable, Inc.
    Country: USA

11. How can I control my personal data?

    In addition to your rights under the data protection legislation, set out in part 5, when you submit personal data via Our Site, you may be given options to restrict our use of your personal data. In particular, we aim to give you strong controls over our use of your data for direct marketing purposes (including the ability to opt-out of receiving emails from us).

12. Disclosure practices

    We disclose personal information if we are required by law or by a court order, in response to a law enforcement agency, to the extent permitted under other provisions of law, to provide information, or for an investigation on a matter related to public safety.

    If our website or organisation is taken over, sold, or involved in a merger or acquisition, your details may be disclosed to our advisers and any prospective purchasers and will be passed on to the new owners.

13. Can I withhold information?

    You may access Our Site without providing any personal data at all. You may restrict our use of cookies. For more information, see parts 15 to 19 for our cookies policy.

14. How can I access my personal data?

    If you want to know what personal data we have about you, you can ask us for details of that personal data and for a copy of it (where any such personal data is held). This is known as a ‘subject-access request’. All subject-access requests should be made in writing and sent to the email address referenced in part 20. There is normally no charge for a subject-access request. If your request is ‘manifestly unfounded or excessive’ (for example, if you make repetitive requests) a fee may be charged to cover our administrative costs in responding. We will respond to your subject-access request within one month of receiving it. Normally, we aim to provide a complete response, including a copy of your personal data within that time. In some cases, however, particularly if your request is more complex, more time may be required up to a maximum of three months from the date we receive your request. You will be kept informed of our progress.
