Privacy Policy
This privacy policy describes how this website handles your personal data. By handling personal data, we mean the collection, use, storage, and sharing of information.
The data processed includes information you either (1) voluntarily provide when subscribing to newsletters or (2) that is generated when you use the website (cookies). Additionally, some pages on the website include a comment section.
I. Personal Data Processed, Sources, Storage, and Legal Basis
Cookies
The cookie banner where you select your consent includes multiple buttons for various types of consent, including “targeting and advertising.” However, the website does not use cookies for “targeting and advertising,” even if you consent to this in the banner. The website uses cookies solely to understand site usage and only with your consent. Due to the tool used to create the website (Quarto), it is currently challenging to customize the cookie banner.
Purpose
The website uses cookies only to monitor the number of visits and how the website is used, solely to improve the website and based on your consent.
The Norwegian Data Protection Authority states the following about personal data:
An IP address will typically be considered personal data. Cookie IDs, location data, or detailed information about users’ devices may also constitute personal data. Often, such information is combined with data about visitors’ behavior on the website, which then also qualifies as personal data.
The latest version of Google Analytics, used on this website, anonymizes IP addresses during processing.
As Google Analytics is used, the data may be stored in the United States. However, Google is listed among entities approved by the European Commission for the transfer of data outside the EU. See Datatilsynet.no and the official Data Privacy Framework list.
You can choose to adjust your cookie settings under “cookies” at the bottom of the website.
Legal Basis
Consent from you (cf. Article 6 of the GDPR) provides the legal basis to process information about your use of the website through cookies.
Newsletter
You can subscribe to newsletters from this website under “subscribe.” The data collected includes the information you choose to provide, at a minimum, your email address.
Your email address will be stored in MailChimp, owned by The Rocket Science Group, USA. The Rocket Science Group is listed among entities approved by the European Commission for transferring data outside the EU. See the official Data Privacy Framework list.
You may unsubscribe from the newsletter and request the deletion of your data.
Legal Basis
The processing of your personal data for sending newsletters is based on your consent, when you choose to register your email address in the subscription system.
If you no longer wish to receive newsletters, you can unsubscribe.
General Principles
The website processes your personal data solely for the purposes outlined above.
The scope of data collection and processing is no greater than necessary to fulfill the stated purposes.
The website does not sell your personal data.
The website does not process special categories of personal data (formerly known as sensitive personal data).
The website does not process information about you that is publicly available.
Personal data will not be stored longer than necessary. The retention period depends on the purpose for which the data was collected and used.
For Norwegian users, it should be noted that although Norway is not an EU member state, its personal data regulations align with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) through national legislation.
II. Your Rights
Your rights are governed by data protection legislation. This includes the right to access your personal data, request its deletion, or correct incomplete or inaccurate information.
Comment Section
Some pages on the website feature a comment section.
Users are advised to avoid sharing sensitive or personal information in the comment section.
Users who choose to post comments must have a GitHub account, and comments will be associated with your GitHub account. Comments will be visible on the blog and in a public GitHub repository on GitHub.com under the Discussions tab.
The administrator of the GitHub repository (Mads Rohde) can moderate the discussions. Otherwise, the data is processed by GitHub.com in accordance with your agreement with them. GitHub is registered as a company in both the USA and the EU and is listed among entities approved by the European Commission for transferring data outside the EU.
