How we collect personal data

Providing us with personal data is voluntary. However, in order for us to be able to deliver products or services, we need a range of information from you in order to complete the transaction. We do not use automated decisions or profiling in the processing of your personal data.


Where we process personal data on the basis of consent, we would like to draw your attention to the fact that you can withdraw your consent at any time without this affecting the lawfulness of any processing that took place before you withdrew your consent.

We process personal data related to:


Inquiries from you

When you contact us via the website (contact form, communication tools), by email, by phone (call, text message) or social media, we process personal data. Depending on where and how you send us a message, this may be contact information in the form of email and telephone number, IP address and other information you choose to send to us.

The purpose is to be able to respond to inquiries from you, for historical purposes, and to have documentation in case we receive complaints or legal claims. The basis for processing is Article 6(1)(f) of the General Data Protection Regulation, where the legitimate interests are to be able to respond to inquiries from you, for historical purposes, and to have documentation in case we receive complaints, appeals or legal claims.

We review, archive and delete inquiries as needed, but no less frequently than every two years. Inquiries that we are obliged to retain, such as documentation in connection with a claim/complaint, are stored until the deadline for making a claim/complaint has expired (two or five years). Accounting material is stored for up to five years, in accordance with the rules in the Bookkeeping Act.


Purchase of services

When your company purchases services from us, we process personal data related to the individual contact person in the company. This may be contact information in the form of name, email and telephone number. We will also process information about ordering and payment information and purchase history associated with the business, where the contact person's name may appear.

The purpose of this is to be able to deliver services to your business after ordering, and to keep a history of services sold. The basis for processing is Article 6(1)(b) of the General Data Protection Regulation and (c) legal obligation. Accounting material is stored for up to five years, in accordance with the rules in the Bookkeeping Act.

Job search and employment


When you apply for a job with us, we process personal data such as contact information in the form of name, email and telephone number, CV and other information we need to be able to assess your application, such as applications, certificates, references and diplomas. The basis for processing is the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Article 6 (1) (a), and possibly Article 9 (2) (a) if your application contains special categories of personal data. The data will be stored for as long as it is relevant to carry out the application and recruitment process, and will be deleted when the process is completed.


For employees, we process personal data as mentioned above, in addition to information that is necessary in order to pay salaries and otherwise administer the employment relationship, such as account number, your residential address, information in connection with necessary adaptation of the workplace, etc. The processing basis for this is Article 6(1)(b) of the General Data Protection Regulation, and possibly Article 9(2)(b) for special categories of personal data. Information about employees is generally deleted when the employment relationship ends, unless special reasons (such as a dispute about termination or dismissal) make it necessary to keep them longer. Information related to payroll administration is stored for up to five years, in accordance with the rules in the Bookkeeping Act.

Events, including digital events


When you participate in free events with us, we process personal data in the form of contact information including name, email and telephone number. For paid events, we also collect booking and payment information. The purpose is to be able to offer customers and potential customers relevant courses, lectures and workshops. The basis for processing is the General Data Protection Regulation Article 6 (1) a) consent or b) agreement. The data will be stored until you withdraw your consent and, if applicable, request that it be deleted, or, by agreement, for up to five years in accordance with the provisions of the Bookkeeping Act. For information stored on the basis of the Bookkeeping Act, Article 6(1)(c) of the General Data Protection Regulation applies as the basis for processing.


Suppliers, partners and data processors

When you enter into an agreement with us either as a supplier, partner or data processor, we process personal data such as contact information in the form of name, email and telephone number. Other information is normally linked to a business and is therefore not personal data. The purpose is to be able to enter into such agreements, and the basis for processing is Article 6(1)(b) of the General Data Protection Regulation. For information stored on the basis of the Bookkeeping Act, Article 6(1)(c) of the General Data Protection Regulation is used as the basis for processing. The information is stored for up to five years, according to the rules in the Bookkeeping Act.

We only use reputable providers of IT and management services such as web hosting, website and PC security, virus software, email provider, backups, and more. We only allow others to access and/or process your personal data in accordance with our instructions, and only where strictly necessary (e.g. for IT support).
We have established routines for handling data security breaches, and we will, in the event of a deviation, send a deviation report to the Norwegian Data Protection Authority within 72 hours of discovering the breach. If the breach entails a high privacy risk, we will also notify affected data subjects.
