Processing of personal data

Skinnelangs does not collect nor store personal data about users or uses technology that compromises data. Some social media platforms may store personal data and/or user activity, for instance click on Like buttons. Skinnelangs does not have any control nor responsibility of which personal data social media may collect about you. By using such functions on skinnelangs.no, the following information will be stored: Date and time of your visit, your IP address, the page on Skinnelangs you visited and information about your browser and operating system. Skinnelangs has integrated services from Disqus. Services from Kartverket and Google Maps are used for maps and Google Adsense for ads.

Information about your geographical position

When you are visiting the trail tip pages, Skinnelangs will try to obtain your geographical position. This is done in order to show a blue marker on the map, making it easier to navigate and follow the shown trails. Tracking your geographical position requires that you have not blocked for such information sharing on your device. If this is enabled, your browser may ask whether you want to share geographical information with Skinnelangs. Skinnelangs will not store your geographical position.

Personalised ads

Personalised ads powered by Google Adsense are shown on skinnelangs.no. These ads are displayed based on your interests, demographic information and other criteria. Since the advertisers can collect, receive and use personal data, Skinnelangs is required to inform about this in accordance to EU user consent policy (GDPR) for users in the European Economic Area (EEA) and the UK. The following list shows current ad providers and their personal data information.

In case you do not consent, only non-personalised adds will be shown.

According to the act, it is not legal to gather information and store this on user's personal computers or mobile devices without proper notification.

The provider shall implement the necessary security measures for the protection of communications in the provider’s electronic communications networks and services. In the event of a particular risk of breach of security the provider shall inform the subscriber of the risk.

Traffic data shall be deleted or rendered anonymous as soon as they are no longer necessary for communications or invoicing purposes, unless otherwise determined by or pursuant to law. Any other processing of traffic data requires the consent of the user.

The Authority may issue regulations on matters governed by the first and the second paragraphs.
