Privacy Statement
This privacy statement concerns how BLDNG collects and processes personal data that we receive from users of our websites and through the use of our services. "Personal data" refers to information that can be linked to private individuals.
BLDNG’s CEO is responsible for the company’s processing of personal data. Although many of the tasks related to such processing are delegated in daily operations, the responsibility for processing personal data is not.
BLDNG’s processing of personal data falls under the Personal Data Act, which grants everyone the right to basic information about the processing of personal data in an organization.
Those registered in one of BLDNG’s systems have the right to access their personal data, as well as the right to correct, delete, or supplement inaccurate or incomplete data that is not authorized for processing. See
contact information below.
Purpose of processing personal data
The purpose of processing personal data is to manage the customer relationship between companies, fulfill the rights and obligations of both the customer and BLDNG, and handle personal data in relation to electronic services, research activities, advertising, and/or direct marketing of BLDNG and/or its partners through BLDNG's own media and services without transferring personal data to an external entity.
What personal data is collected and retained by the company
The company holds personal contact data related to its marketing efforts and customer relationships.
The data is stored in the website's database and HubSpot.
Types of information:
- Name and contact information
- Company represented by the individual
- Activities of an individual on the company's website, such as document downloads, pages viewed, forms completed, etc.
How are privacy rules handled?
The company does not engage with private individuals directly, but handles personal data in a business context – when an individual acts as a representative of a company. However, the company must still comply with the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and national rules.
Information is used to promote the company's activities, share information about its services and products, or for market research, surveys, or other inquiries. This is typically direct marketing.
Outdated information is deleted based on undeliverable emails, meaning when the recipient's email is no longer in use. Any personal data that has not been active in communication with the company (such as opening an email) is deactivated after two years. In other cases, personal data is only deleted upon request.
BLDNG does not share personal data with third parties unless required by Norwegian or other legal authorities. Individuals have the right to access all personal information stored in our databases, correct their data, and request the deletion of their personal data (the "right to be forgotten").
Individuals also have the right to limit data processing, meaning the company can retain the information but may not otherwise handle it without the individual's consent.
Individuals may also request the company to transfer their personal data to another controller. The data must be transferred in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.
If the company has reason to doubt the identity of the individual making the request, it may ask for additional information to verify the person's identity.
Upon request, BLDNG will provide personal data in a simple and understandable manner within one month of the request.
Legal basis for processing personal data
The legal basis for processing personal data is a balance of interests under GDPR Article 6(f). The processing of personal data is necessary for BLDNG to fulfill the tasks assigned by our customers, and the privacy threat associated with the processing is limited.
Your rights (access, correction, and deletion)
Those registered in one of BLDNG's systems have the right to access their personal data, as well as the right to correct, delete, or supplement inaccurate or incomplete data. See contact information below. We handle your requests within 30 days.
How we safeguard security
The protection of personal data is ensured at every stage of the process, from data collection to destruction.
The company has a designated data protection officer. His duties include monitoring and controlling the processing of personal data related to security.
As part of planning personal data processing, the company has also developed processes to handle potential security breaches. In the event of a breach, the company will report to the supervisory authority, if possible, within 72 hours of the violation.
Privacy information is defined in the company's security policy.
What is risk management related to the processing of personal data?
Risk management for personal data is outlined in the company’s security policy.
