What we collect

If you use the contact form, we store your name, email address, message text, and a hashed version of your IP address (for abuse prevention). We do not use the contact form for marketing lists.

If you sign in to the admin area, we use session cookies required to keep you signed in.

Public pages use privacy-focused analytics to understand how the site is used. This records page views and basic technical information (such as browser type and referring page). It is not used for advertising or cross-site tracking.

Legal basis (GDPR)

Contact messages are processed on the basis of legitimate interest: replying to enquiries you send. Admin login data is processed to operate and secure the site.

How long we keep data

Contact messages are kept until they are deleted in the admin panel, or until they are no longer needed. You can ask for earlier deletion.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you may request access, correction, deletion, or restriction of your personal data, and object to processing where applicable. You may lodge a complaint with Datatilsynet (Norway) or your local supervisory authority.

Use of your data

Personal data and usage statistics are processed to operate and improve the site. We do not sell personal data or use advertising trackers or third-party ad networks.
