This privacy policy applies to Nordiske Medier A/S, CVR No.: 10150825 (“we,” “us,” “our,” “Nordiske Medier”), which is part of the Det Nordjyske Mediehus group. Nordiske Medier is the data controller in relation to the collection and processing of personal data that occurs when you use our digital services, including Projektagenten.

2. Information by consent

We process your general personal data for various marketing purposes when you have given your consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)) to communicate with you about offers, competitions, news about our services and products, or other marketing on behalf of us or our partners, including to make the content of our advertising more relevant to you. You can read more about how to withdraw your consent under section 10.

We also process your personal data to target banner advertising on our digital services. This involves analyzing your user behavior and preferences to predict which banner ads may be most relevant to you. You can read more about this processing under section 9.

 
3. Information related to subscriptions and other contracts

We process your general personal data to enter into or fulfill a contract with you (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)), including managing your subscription or providing the services you have requested, as well as handling your payments. Processing your personal data is necessary for us to deliver the service you have purchased/from us. Our processing of your personal data serves the following purposes:

  • to provide the requested services or products, such as subscription products,
  • to communicate with you, e.g., regarding changes to our terms, and
  • to ensure the operation of our digital services, including our websites.

4. Legitimate interest

When we process your personal data based on our legitimate interest, it is in connection with the operation and development of our digital services and other communication with you. Our legitimate interests are:

a. Operation and development of our digital services

We use your information to understand how you use our digital services. The purpose is to improve our digital services by, among other things, identifying areas for improvement and maintaining our digital services. This helps us create a more effective and user-friendly experience for you.

In connection with operation and development, we also use your personal data to prevent, investigate, and report fraud or other illegal activities. This includes monitoring to ensure that the same user does not create multiple accounts to obtain additional free trial periods. This is essential for protecting both you and our company from potential threats and ensuring a secure and reliable user experience.

b. Additional communication

When you contact us with questions about your subscription, delivery of physical products, online access, or other matters, we may request your personal data. It is our legitimate interest to process this information to handle your inquiry correctly and provide you with the necessary assistance. Additionally, we may sometimes need to contact you regarding your subscription.

Some of the third parties to whom we transfer personal data may be located outside the EU/EEA. When we transfer your personal data to countries outside the EU/EEA that do not have an adequate level of data protection according to GDPR, we will always ensure that the necessary security measures to protect your personal data are in place. Transfers will be based solely on the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses, Data Privacy Framework certification, or other adequacy decisions.

9. Cookies
First-party cookies

A cookie can contain text, numbers, or, for example, a date, and is essentially a text file stored on your computer, tablet, or phone. It is not a program and cannot contain viruses. Since a cookie resides on your device, you can always view, modify, or delete these cookies. You can do this within your browser settings.

We use cookies for statistics and analysis, as well as basic site functionality, which helps us improve our products through user insights. Here, we collect information about when and how long you visit a website, which and how many sections, articles, and other products you view, whether your computer has visited us before, the browser and operating system you use, IP addresses, which ads you see, and so on. With your consent, we also use the collected information to target our direct marketing to you. Furthermore, we use the information to document and clarify the value of ad placements to our advertisers.

When using Nordiske Medier’s websites generally, without filling out forms with personal information such as name and address, the websites use only cookies. If you provide additional information, for example, when creating a “Login,” a matching process will allow Nordiske Medier to make your behavior identifiable. This matching can only be performed by Nordiske Medier, and not by our partners. All companies within the Det Nordjyske Mediehus group may use the information, though only a few employees have access to view and interpret it.

These cookies are called first-party cookies and are set by Nordiske Medier.

Third-party cookies

Nordiske Medier also has a number of partners that set cookies, known as third-party cookies. These may include our advertisers, media agencies, ad networks, and other services (e.g., Facebook) that set these cookies.

The purpose of third-party cookies is to ensure the delivery of targeted online ads and to maintain the functionality of the services our sites offer. In the case of surveys, analyses, and similar activities, cookies are set to record your responses and thereby prevent you from receiving the same questionnaire again.

The information collected via cookies is stored in our systems—either internally or with partners. We have entered into data processing agreements with our partners, who are therefore jointly responsible for protecting personal data. We do not transfer or exchange data with entities with whom we do not have valid EU data processing agreements.

If you have the right to restrict processing, we may only process the data—excluding storage—with your consent, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or to protect the rights of another person or important public interests.

e. Right to object

In certain cases, you have the right to object to our otherwise lawful processing of your personal data. You can also object to the processing of your data for direct marketing purposes.

f. Right to data portability

In certain cases, you have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to have this personal data transferred from one data controller to another without hindrance.

g. Right to withdraw consent

You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. In certain cases, withdrawing consent may require you to actively log out and delete any cookies in your browser. If you wish to update/manage your consent for newsletters, you can do so at the bottom of any newsletters you receive from us. Additionally, you can also contact customer service (see section 11).

If you are dissatisfied with the way we handle your personal data or if you wish to exercise your rights, you can find our contact information below in section 11.

You can also file a complaint with the Danish Data Protection Agency (Datatilsynet). You can find the contact information for the Data Protection Agency at www.datatilsynet.dk.
