Privacy Policy

Personal data is information that can be linked to an individual, such as name, address, phone number, email address, and IP address, or a combination thereof. On this website we log entirely anonymous information about all visitors. We use cookies primarily for traffic measurement and content optimisation. This information cannot be traced back to you as an individual.

All use of personal data is considered processing of personal data, such as collection, registration, compilation, storage and disclosure, or a combination thereof. The processing of personal data is governed by the Personal Data Act.

Bjerkreim municipality is the data controller for personal data processed in connection with the use of our services and products, and personal data we collect and process for the purposes described below.

If Bjerkreim municipality engages another company to process personal data on its behalf, we refer to that company as a data processor. When we use data processors, we ensure that we have entered into data processing agreements that regulate how the data processor may handle the data made available.

Cookies are a standard technology used by most websites today. A cookie is a small text file stored in your browser's memory that allows us to see what you click on, how you navigate the website, and how the content performs. We also collect information about navigation, visit duration, browser version, etc., in order to best adapt the content of our website to you as a user. Most browsers are set to accept cookies automatically, but you can change your settings so that cookies are not accepted. Please be aware that this may cause many websites to not function optimally.

We use the analytics tool Google Analytics to study traffic, usage patterns and trends on this website. The data collected is used to optimise the user experience and adapt the content on the website. In accordance with Google's guidelines for the use of Google Analytics, no personal information about you as a user is collected. The data collected is stored on Google's servers. Google Analytics uses cookies and is only activated when you accept optional cookies.

We also use Vercel Analytics, a privacy-friendly service that does not use cookies. Vercel Analytics collects aggregated information about page views and use of the website without storing personally identifiable data in the browser. This service runs independently of your cookie choice and is designed to respect privacy.

Most browsers are set to accept cookies by default. You can delete cookies by following the instructions for deleting cookies in your browser. You will find this information in the "Help" function of your browser. Please be aware that restricting access to cookies may affect the functionality of our website.

You may withdraw your consent to non-essential cookies at any time. On this page you can open the cookie settings again using the button below. Choose "Necessary only" to stop our use of analytics (Google Analytics).

Most of the data we have about you is generated when you use our services, such as page views and information about your device (PC, mobile, tablet).

All personal data we have collected has been collected to understand and improve our services and products, so that you get the best user experience on our websites.

If you have an active customer relationship with us, we may send you marketing by email or other electronic means within the framework of marketing legislation, unless you have asked us not to. If you do not have an active customer relationship with us, we will only send such marketing if you have given us explicit and informed consent.

In some cases we share information with partners who use the information to deliver targeted content and/or offers through their services. We enter into agreements that limit the use of the information and establish obligations to comply with applicable privacy legislation.

If there is suspicion that a crime has been committed in connection with the use of services, information may be disclosed to public authorities upon request.

We will not share, sell or disclose personal data in any way other than described in this privacy policy.

It is important that the information we have collected about you is correct and up to date. If you discover errors, we encourage you to contact us so that the information can be corrected. You may also contact us if you wish to have the information deleted.

We will not store personal data longer than necessary to fulfil the purpose of the processing and our statutory obligations.

We use analytics tools to collect information about how our services are used. We use Google Analytics (when you have accepted optional cookies), where we measure the number of visitors, which pages are visited, how long a visit lasts, and similar. We also use Vercel Analytics, which does not use cookies and only collects aggregated, non-personally identifiable statistics.

Statistics about users and traffic are mostly used in aggregated form, so that the statistics do not contain information that can be directly linked to you as an identified person.

We do not wish to collect or otherwise process personal data about children under the age of 15.

If children under 15 have provided us with personal data, we will delete the information as soon as we become aware of it.

We may periodically update the privacy policy for our services to reflect any changes on the websites. When we update the privacy policy, the new policy will be published on the websites 14 days before the changes take effect.
