How do we get access to your personal data?

We collect your personal data in a number of different ways. We mainly get access to your personal data:

Legal bases

In order for us to process your personal data, we need a so-called legal basis for the respective processing. In our activities, we process your personal data mainly on the following grounds:

Consent – Norrhavet processes your Personal Data after we have obtained your consent to the Processing. Information about the processing is always provided when we ask for consent.

If you would like further information about the legal basis(s) on which we process your personal data, you always have the right to request a so-called register extract. Read more under “How to use your rights” below.

Your rights

You are the controller of your Personal Data. We always aim to ensure that you can exercise your rights as effectively and smoothly as possible.

Access – You always have the right to obtain information about the Personal Data processing operations that concern you in a so-called register extract. The extract from the register shows, inter alia which of your personal data we have stored, for what purposes and on what legal basis We will only disclose information if we have been able to verify that it is actually you who is asking for the information.

Correction – If you discover that the Personal Data we process about you is incorrect, contact us and we will fix it!

Deletion – Do you want us to forget you completely? You have the right to request the deletion of your Personal Data when it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. If we are required to retain your data by law or a contract we have entered into with you, we will ensure that it is processed only for the specific purpose set out in the law or contract. We will then ensure that the data is deleted as soon as possible.

Objection – Do you disagree with us that our interest in processing your Personal Data outweighs your interest in privacy? Don’t worry – in that case we will review our balance of interests and check that it still holds. We will, of course, take your objection into account when carrying out a new assessment to evaluate whether we can still justify our Processing of your Personal Data. If you object to direct marketing, we will delete your Personal Data immediately without reviewing our assessment.

Restriction – You can also ask us to restrict our Processing of your data:

  • While we are processing a request from you for any of your other rights.

  • If, instead of requesting erasure, you want us to indicate that the data should not be processed for a particular purpose. For example, if you don’t want us to send you advertising in the future, we still need to save your name to know not to contact you.

  • Where we no longer need the data for the purpose for which it was collected, provided that you do not have an interest in us retaining the data in order to pursue a legal claim.

Data portability – We can provide you with the data you have provided to us or that we have received from you in the context of entering into a contract with you. You will receive your data in a commonly used and machine-readable format, which you can then take with you to another Data Controller.

Withdrawing consent – If you have consented to one or more specific processing(s) of your Personal Data, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time and thus ask us to cease Processing immediately. Please note that you can only withdraw your consent for future Processing(s) of Personal Data and not for any Processing that has already taken place.
