2. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

 

What information we collect about you depends on what kind of relationship we have with you.

 

Information you provide to us: When you create a user account or purchase services from us, we will register personal information in order to provide our services to you, including contact and payment information. We also store information about inquiries with our customer center and other relevant information about your customer relationship such as which products and services you have ordered.

Information collected automatically: When you use our app or visit our website, we will be able to collect information about how you use our services, as well as some technical information. This includes the following: 

 

(A)  Device Information: This is information about the device (such as the mobile phone) you use when using our services, including what kind of device you have, operating system version, screen size, and the like. Among other things, the information allows us to customize the display of our content to the device you are using.

The information is used to prevent abuse of our services and to understand where in our country our services are used. Depending on your app settings, we may also be able to get more detailed location information through your device's GPS. We use this in our map feature so we can show you the nearest charging station.

3. HOW WE USE THE INFORMATION

We are only allowed to collect and use personal data to the extent necessary to achieve predetermined purposes:

We collect and use personal information about you when necessary to provide and provide services in accordance with the agreements we have entered into. This includes the use of personal data in connection with contracting and order handling, customer administration, payment follow-up, complaint handling and error correction. You will not normally be able to influence the collection and use of this information unless you terminate your customer relationship with us, and even then we will retain some information in order to determine, make current or defend legal claims (for example, claim payment for unpaid invoices).

In some cases, we use personal information to fulfill the duties we are required by law. This applies to the storage of accounting material in accordance with the Accounting Act and the collection and use of information to safeguard the security of the services we provide, including notification of any privacy breaches, cf.

5. COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

Like most other websites and digital services, our services can also use different types of technologies to provide you with the best possible user experience and relevant content.

5.1 About the technology

We may use the following technologies when using and interacting with our services or collaborative websites / services, provided that you use a browser or device that allows the use of that technology: 

Cookies are a small file of small text strings that are sent to your browser or device when you visit a website. This allows the site to recognize your browser or device the next time you visit the site. Cookies can store user settings such as language settings or login information, identifiers and other information. Browser settings allow you to both remove old cookies and prevent new ones from being saved.

Pixel tags (pixels) are transparent image files that, among other things, make it possible to read and store cookies, as well as transfer information to us or our partners. The information typically includes the IP address of a device, time and web page where the pixels are displayed, an ID associated with the browser or device and the type of browser being used.

Browser storage is technology that allows a website or app to store and retrieve data on your computer, mobile phone or other device. Examples include caching and local storage in HTML5. Such technology is often used if the device or browser cannot store cookies or to provide you with increased security and control over the information stored.

5.2 About consent and your options

As long as you are provided with good information about the use of cookies and similar technologies, you are considered, under Norwegian law, to consent to the use of the technology through the settings in your browser. Here you can normally specify whether you accept the storage of cookies from the web pages you visit, from third parties associated with the web pages and if you wish to be notified each time a new cookie is stored. The exact procedure depends a bit on your device and which browser you use.

 

In the browser settings you will also find an overview of all cookies that have been stored, so you can get an overview and possibly delete unwanted cookies. The browser normally stores all cookies in a specific folder on your hard drive, so you can also examine the contents in more detail.

If you want control over which third parties use the technology for different purposes, we recommend tools like Ghostery and Disconnect.

For more information about cookies and settings, we refer to allaboutcookies.org.

6. HOW LONG DO WE STORE YOUR INFORMATION?

Pursuant to the Privacy Policy, personal information shall be deleted when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. We have different criteria for deleting personal data depending on:

  1. If you are an active customer with us

  2. What kind of information it is about

  3. What the information is used for, and

  4. Whether we have specific statutory obligations to store or delete the information

In certain cases, you have the right to request the deletion of personal data. This applies, for example, when the storage of the information is no longer necessary for the purpose of the processing, if you withdraw consent and there is no other legal basis for the processing, if the processing is illegal or the information is collected through web services or apps aimed at children.

You may request that we do not use personal information for anything other than to establish, enforce, or defend a legal claim (such as claiming payment for an agreement), to protect another's rights, or to protect important social interests if:

- you have requested that incorrect information be corrected (until the information is corrected),

- you have complained about the processing of personal data (until you have received feedback on the complaint), or

- it turns out that our processing of the information is illegal and you prefer that we store the information rather than delete it

Data Portability:

 

You have the right to request that personal data be disclosed from us and to another company. The purpose of this right is to give you control over your own information, and will, among other things, make it easier for you to move from one service provider to another.
