3. Which personal data we collect, and why we collect it

3.1 In General

We collect and process different types of personal data in different ways and for different purposes. As an example, we must process certain information about you in order to provide the Services. 

The personal data we process is collected directly from you or based on your use of the Services. The types of personal data we process depends on which Services you use and how you use them. 

We process personal data in accordance with the obligations that are relevant for our processing, such as the Norwegian Personal Data Act and the GDPR. We primarily process personal data to be able to provide the relevant Services to you (i.e. to fulfil obligations we have under agreements we have entered with you – such as the User Agreement for the App), to adhere to legal obligations that we are subject to, and/or based on a consent from you (such as if you have consented to receiving e-mail updates/newsletters or use of non-essential cookies). 

Situations may occur in which PortalOne will process personal data because PortalOne has a legitimate interest to do so, such as in certain show productions, or in connection with ongoing litigation where evidence must be provided despite containing personal data. 

Below you may find more details on i) which instances we collect personal data, ii) the personal data we collect, iii) why we collect this, and iv) how we collect it.

3.6 Regarding special categories of personal data / sensitive personal data

The provision of the Services generally does not require the processing of special categories of personal data (also known as sensitive personal data). Therefore, we ask that you do not share such data about yourself or others through the Services. Such data would for instance be religious beliefs, political opinions, physical or mental health, labor union membership, criminal convictions or offences, ethnic background, sexual history or sexual orientation. If you make such personal data available in the App/Services, we reserve the right to delete such data without further notice.

If exceptions apply for certain processing activities, you will receive information on this in the special privacy policy for this processing/activity/service.

4. Processing by others & Disclosure of Data to Third Parties

Except in the instances described in this General Privacy Policy or in the special privacy policies (for the App etc.), we do not disclose collected personal data to third parties. We may disclose anonymous statistics and analytics from the Services to our partners.

We only share personal data with our partners and others based on an agreement, when there is a legal obligation, based on legitimate interests, or with your consent. Subcontractors will only process personal data on behalf of PortalOne based on a data processing agreement.

5. Storage and Personal Data Deletion 

PortalOne will only store personal data as long as there is legal basis to do so. We have internal routines to ensure secure deletion of personal data. These routines ensure that your personal data is only stored as long as PortalOne can justify such storage in accordance with relevant legislation. Unless there is a different requirement under the legal basis or legal obligations that PortalOne must fulfil, your personal data is deleted once it is no longer necessary to store for the purpose it was collected for. 

We will also delete your personal data if you ask us to do so, unless we have legal obligation or other legal basis to store the personal data for longer.

6. Your Rights

You have several rights as the data subject to your personal data according to GDPR, which we comply with as a data controller: 

  • Access: You can at any time request access to the personal data we process about you. You may also request information about how we collect personal data at any time.

Under these conditions, we will delete your personal data without undue delay, unless we are required by applicable laws to keep storing your personal data.

  • Objection: If certain conditions are met, you may request a restriction of the processing of your personal data or object to the processing of your personal data. This may affect functionalities in and availability of the Services.

  • Withdrawal of consent: To the extent our processing of your personal data relies on your consent, you may withdraw said consent at any time, by contacting us using the email stated in section 1.

7. Security

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures to ensure that our processing of data is secure, whether it is your personal data or other data. 

Our organizational measures consist of established internal control systems and routines that all personnel that are authorized to process data on our behalf must abide by. We have also entered into data processor agreements in accordance with the GDPR with all our subcontractors, which process personal data on our behalf. We furthermore require that these subcontractors implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures.

Our technical security measures help ensure that data are kept secure. We have also implemented measures to ensure the ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resistance of our processing systems.
