Processing of personal data by Watrium

When you use our website and/or use our contact form, Watrium processes personal data about you. Our usage is in accordance with the Norwegian Personal Data Act of 2018, and therefore the regulations brought about by the General Data Protection Regulation (hereafter referred to as “GDPR”).

Below you will find information regarding the personal data that is collected, why we collect it, and your rights relating to the processing of personal data.

 

Why we collect personal data and what information we collect

We collect and use your personal data for different purposes, depending on who you are and our relation to you. Here is a list of the purposes and the personal data that we collect accordingly:

  1. For marketing and/or sending information about our company: e-mail address. The processing of personal data is based on your consent, cf. point a of Article 6(1) of GDPR. In cases where we do not use consent as a basis for processing, we will send you the material in accordance with legitimate interests, cf. point f of Article 6(1) of GDPR. We consider the legitimate interests to be that we can inform you about our work and other relevant information which may also be of interest to you. In addition, this gives us the opportunity to generate more commercial activity.
  2. Answering enquiries that we receive: name, telephone number, e-mail and any other personal data that may pertain to the enquiry. The processing of personal data is based on an evaluation of interests, cf. point f of Article 6(1) of GDPR. We consider this to often be a necessity in helping you with your enquiry.
  3. Recruiting for new positions with us: CV, application, certificates and references. The processing of personal data is based on either the consent that you have given (point f of Article 6(1) of GDPR), or in accordance with legitimate interests (point f of Article 6(1) of GDPR). The legitimate interests are that we wish to recruit skilled employees – a process for which we require information – and that your interests in getting a job are also of great importance in this regard.
  4. We use cookies in order to gain information about the use of our website. We process personal data on the basis of consent as required by § 2-7b of the Norwegian Electronic Communications Act, and an evaluation of interests, cf. point f of Article 6(1) of GDPR. We consider this a necessity in customising the website for our users. We also use statistical data through Google Analytics to see what our users’ interests are and how the pages are used: this enables us to focus on relevant and popular content as well as simplify the pages as much as possible.However, we take care of your privacy by only using the data for statistics. It is not possible to identify you as an individual through these statistics. You agree to the use of cookies via the settings in your browser, and you can turn these off by changing the settings.

 

Disclosure of personal data to others

We will not disclose your personal data to others unless there is a legal basis for such disclosure. Examples of such a basis will typically be an agreement with you or a legal requirement that instructs us to pass on the information.

Watrium may use processors to collect, store, or otherwise process personal data on our behalf. In such cases, we have entered into agreements in order to take care of information security for all parts of the processing.

 

Storage period

We store your personal data for as long as is necessary for the purpose it was collected for.

This means, for example, that personal data that we process on the basis of your consent will be deleted if you withdraw your consent provided there is no other basis for further processing. The personal data we process to fulfil an agreement with you is deleted when the agreement is fulfilled and all of the requirements arising from the agreement are met.

 

Your rights concerning our processing of your personal data

You have the right to request access to, correction or deletion of the personal data we process about you. Furthermore, you also have the right to request limited processing, to object to processing and to claim the right of data portability. You can read more about the contents of these rights on the Norwegian Data Protection Authority’s website by following this link here.

In order to exercise your rights, you need to contact us via email at info@watrium.no. We will respond to your enquiry as soon as possible and no later than 30 days.

We will ask you to confirm your identity or provide additional information before we allow you to exercise your rights in relation to us. We do this to ensure that we only provide access to your personal data to you – and not to someone pretending to be you.

You may withdraw your consent for our processing of personal data at any time. The easiest way to do this is to contact us via email at info@watrium.no. We will then delete the data without undue delay unless there is another legal basis for further processing.

If you believe that our processing of personal data does not match what we have described here or otherwise violate our personal data legislation, we would appreciate you contacting us as soon as possible. We will try to act on your comments as well as possible, and to the extent that we believe it is reasonable based on the appropriate legislation.
