Privacy Policy - GDPR

This privacy policy applies to the services offered by Brynje of Norway AS, including in our physical store and through our webshop at www.brynje.no. The policy aims to describe what type of personal data Brynje of Norway AS obtains from customers and website users, for what purpose, how long we keep the data, who it is shared with and how it is processed. It also sets out the measures we take to safeguard data collected when online purchases are made and our services are used.

We value the right to privacy and are committed to safeguarding your personal data. All personal data is collected and processed in accordance with applicable legislation, including Personopplysningsloven and Personopplysningsforskriften, Norway’s implementation of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Personal data is information that relates to or can be related to an individual, who can be directly or indirectly identified via that information. According to GDPR, our website users and customers are considered data subjects and have the following rights:

  • The right to be informed about any personal data we collect, how it is being used, how long it will be kept and if it will be shared with third parties.
  • The right to request access to your personal data at any time.
  • In the event that the personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that it be rectified or updated.
  • The right to request that your data be erased (‘the right to be forgotten’).
  • The right to request that we limit the way in which we use your personal data.
  • The right to have your personal data transferred to you securely, without its usability being affected (i.e., uncorrupted and legible).
  • The right to object to your personal data being processed at any time.
  • The right not to be subject to a decision solely based on automated processing, including profiling.

 

Exercising Your Rights Relating To Your Personal Data

Similarly, to request that your personal data be erased, rectified, updated, or if you object to the processing of your personal data, or would like to limit the way in which we use it, please email kundeservice@brynje.no.

Our Web Editor holds operational responsibility for compliant processing of your personal data under the applicable legislation. Brynje of Norway AS is the data controller, meaning that we determine why and how personal data is collected.

All collection and processing of personal data is based on consent by the data subject. Visitors to our website www.brynje.no can opt in or out of digital services provided, such as receiving newsletters. 

Our website and e-commerce provider, Gurusoft AS, is responsible for the ongoing technical development and maintenance of www.brynje.no. As such, they are a data processor. Any data obtained in connection with the operation of the website is stored on separate servers operated by Gurusoft AS and is only accessible to them. A separate data processing agreement between the customer (Brynje of Norway) and Gurusoft AS regulates what information Gurusoft AS has access to and how it is processed.

Cookies used on our website

Gurusoft AS provides the e-commerce platform and cloud service Gurusoft Ecommerce, for our website, and is responsible for its technical development, operation, and maintenance. Gurusoft uses the following two cookies on the website:

  • JSESSIONID; This cookie has a reference ID for a session file on the web server. The session file contains non-personal data. It is necessary for anonymous webshop users to have their own shopping cart, favourites, etc. The session file is automatically deleted after the user has closed their browser or is inactive, and thus the data is not permanently stored. Only system administrators have access to these session files.
  • listView; This is a cookie that enables the system to remember whether the user prefers a list or grid view. It does not collect personal data.

In addition, we have chosen to include the following cookies on our website:

  • Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics on our website in order to better understand how visitors use the site. Google Analytics enables us to see how long visitors stay on the site, what pages they visit, demographic information, interests, geographic location, user behaviour and technology. We primarily use Google Analytics for the purpose of reviewing the number of visits to our site, and rarely make use of the additional above-mentioned data obtained through this cookie.  The data is stored for 14 months before being automatically deleted.
  • Facebook pixel: We use Facebook pixel on our website. Facebook Pixel is an analytical tool that measures how effective our Facebook advertising is. It enables us to measure conversions, build our audience, and optimise our ad campaigns on Facebook. We use Facebook pixel to understand what actions our visitors perform after they've clicked on an ad, and allows us to reach the most relevant audience. By learning from the behaviour of our website users, we can streamline the communication and messaging in our Facebook campaigns.
