Personal data is any information that can be uniquely linked to you as an individual. This may be an email address, telephone number, a statement, a membership, a subscription or a list of items you have purchased in a shop.

We may act as both data controller and data processor. As a data controller, we will collect, store and use personal data on our own, while as a data processor we receive personal data from our clients and store and use it so that we can perform services on their behalf. We treat personal data with the same respect regardless of the role in which we act.

We only store information about private customers that is necessary for us to be able to fulfil the agreements with the respective customers, as well as information we are required to store under the bookkeeping legislation. The scope and category of personal data is of such a nature that it represents a low risk of violation of privacy.

As data controller, we collect and process the following data:
- If you send us an enquiry via our website or other channels, we need to register your contact information as well as your name and other information we need to respond to your enquiry.
- If you order physical or electronic information material (publications, reports, brochures, etc.), we need your name, company affiliation, e-mail and postal address. This information will not be used for any other purpose than to fulfil the order.
- When you visit our website, we register your unique address on the internet (the IP address of the device you are using). This address does not tell us who you are, but can be used to localise which country, county or city you are in when you visit our website. Together with this address, we store your behaviour on the website and technical data (such as browser, screen resolution, etc.) so that we can analyse general usage patterns and optimise the website for the benefit of our visitors.

To ensure that the processing of information with us takes place in a secure manner, only specially authorised persons at our company have access to the information you provide us with. Access to information is secured through various access control mechanisms.
We will not disclose, sell, distribute, lease, rent, licence, share or transfer any data or personal information to any third party other than those who contract and provide services to us unless we have your explicit consent to do so.

We have systems and routines for privacy and protection of personal data.

If we process "non-personally identifiable information" combined with "personally identifiable information" (for example, your name combined with geographic location), the combined information will be treated as personally identifiable information. If we collect or disclose sensitive personal data, we use recognised methods to protect the information.

If we disclose your personal data to a third party, we will ensure that there are arrangements and agreements in place to secure the data and prevent the third party from using the personal data for purposes other than those agreed.
We will use all reasonable precautions to ensure that our employees, data processors and third parties who have access to information about you have adequate information to ensure that they only process this information in accordance with this policy and our obligations under data protection legislation.

Our websites (ringjord.no) link to websites owned and operated by other organisations. We have no access to and do not process personal data entered on these websites, unless otherwise specified in this statement. Nor are we responsible for the content or processing of personal data on other websites. Please refer to the privacy statements associated with each individual website.

Any person who asks for it has the right to information about the processing of personal data in an organisation pursuant to section 18, first paragraph, of the Personal Data Act. You will find such information in this statement.
If we process personal data about you, you have the right to access your personal data. If the personal data is incorrect, incomplete or it is not authorised for processing, you can also ask us to correct the data.
We do not process and store information about you for longer than necessary for the intended purpose or for what is required in accordance with agreements entered into and not beyond the limits of the law. We will delete your personal data when you notify us.
You have the right to object to the processing and possibly complain about the processing to the Norwegian Data Protection Authority.

We may use the information we collect about you when we have reason to believe it is necessary to identify, contact, or take legal action against persons or companies that may harm you, us, or others. We may also disclose your information when we believe the law requires it.
