This policy explains what personal data Kotabitus collects when you visit kotabitus.com or contact us, why we collect it, and what rights you have. Kotabitus is based in Oslo, Norway, and we process personal data in line with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as it applies in Norway.
Who is responsible
Kotabitus, Oslo, Norway, is the controller for the personal data described here. For any privacy question or request, email info@kotabitus.com.
What we collect
When you send an enquiry. Our contact form asks for your name, email address and a description of your project, and optionally the service you need, your budget range and how you found us. The form is sent to us by email. We use this information only to reply to you and, if we work together, to plan and deliver the project.
When you browse the site. Like most websites, our server records technical information such as your IP address, browser type and the pages you request, so the site can work securely and reliably.
Analytics and advertising. We use Google services, connected through Google Site Kit, to understand how the site is used and to measure and show advertising: Google Analytics, Google AdSense and Google Ads. These services may set cookies or use similar technologies and collect information such as your IP address, device and browser details, and how you interact with the site. Google processes this data under its own privacy policy.
Why we use it (legal basis)
- Replying to your enquiry and preparing an offer: steps taken at your request before entering into a contract, and our legitimate interest in answering messages.
- Running a secure, working website: our legitimate interest.
- Analytics and advertising cookies: your consent, where consent is required. You can withdraw it at any time through your browser settings or by contacting us.
Cookies
Cookies are small files stored in your browser. Besides the Google cookies mentioned above, the site may use technical cookies that are necessary for it to function. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; some features may then not work as intended. You can also opt out of Google Analytics with the Google Analytics opt-out add-on and manage ad personalisation at Google Ad Settings.
Who we share it with
We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with service providers who help us run the site and our email (our website hosting and email providers) and with Google for the analytics and advertising services described above. Some of these providers may process data outside the EEA; where they do, they rely on safeguards approved under the GDPR, such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
How long we keep it
We keep enquiry emails for as long as needed to answer you and follow up, and no longer than two years after our last contact unless we start working together, in which case we keep project records for as long as accounting and legal obligations require. Analytics data is kept according to the retention settings in Google Analytics.
Your rights
You have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, to restrict or object to its processing, and to receive it in a portable format. Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw consent at any time. To use any of these rights, email info@kotabitus.com.
If you believe we handle your data unlawfully, you can complain to the Norwegian Data Protection Authority, Datatilsynet.
