Privacy Policy: Your Data, Your Control

Frustrated by vague privacy notices? So were we. That’s why our privacy policy lays out—plainly and directly—what we collect, why it matters, and how you stay in control. Here, transparency is the rule, not the exception.

Information Collected

We collect only what is necessary to operate the site, respond to your requests, and ensure a secure experience. Below are the main types of information gathered.

  • Personal details you provide through forms, such as name and email, are collected only for responding to your requests or sending updates you have agreed to receive.
  • Technical data—like IP address, browser type, and device information—may be automatically collected for analytics, security, and site improvement purposes.
  • Cookies and similar technologies track how you use our site, so we can analyze usage patterns and improve navigation or features.
  • No sensitive financial, health, or governmental identification data is collected. We do not request or store payment information of any kind.

How We Use Your Data

Collected information is used to improve the Household Budget Guide, personalize your experience, and communicate essential updates about site content or your inquiries.

  • To respond to your questions or requests and provide site updates you subscribe to.
  • To analyze usage trends, improve features, and ensure the website remains relevant for Norwegian households.
  • To secure the website against unauthorized access and technical threats, using standard safeguards and monitoring.
  • To fulfill legal or regulatory obligations, as required by Norwegian or EU law.

Legal Basis for Processing

Your privacy is a right, not a privilege. We follow Norwegian and EU laws (including GDPR) that require clear justification for every type of data we collect and process.

We process your data only when we have a lawful basis: with your consent, to fulfill a contract, or when required by law. If you withdraw consent, your data will be deleted except where retention is required for compliance.

Data Sharing

Your personal information is treated with strict confidentiality. We never sell or rent your data to third parties. In rare cases, we may share information as described below.

  • Third-party service providers (such as analytics or IT security) may access data only to the extent necessary for their services, under strict confidentiality agreements.
  • If required by law, we may disclose your information to regulatory authorities or legal bodies, but only as mandated.
  • Aggregated, anonymized data may be used for research or site improvements but cannot be used to identify you individually.

Data Security

We use strong encryption, secure server environments, and access controls to protect your personal information. Regular reviews and technical updates help guard against unauthorized access, alteration, or loss. Only authorized team members may handle your data, and all actions comply with Norwegian and EU privacy standards.

Your Rights

You have strong rights over your data under Norwegian and EU law. Exercising these rights is straightforward—just contact us to start the process.

  • You can access, correct, or delete your personal information at any time by contacting us.
  • You may request to limit how we use your data or object to certain types of processing, such as analytics or direct communications.
  • You have the right to withdraw consent for data processing, except where retention is legally required.
  • You can request a copy of your data in a standard, portable format for transfer elsewhere.
