This privacy policy explains how Mjøs Metallvarefabrikk AS collects and uses data about those who visit our website.

The policy contains information you are entitled to receive when data is collected from our website (section 19 of the Norwegian Personal Data Act), and general information about how we process personal data (section 18(1) of the Norwegian Personal Data Act).

Mjøs Metallvarefabrikk AS is the data controller for the business’s processing of personal data. The disclosure of personal details by visitors to our website in connection with services, such as receiving newsletters and using the sharing and tipping function, is voluntary. Unless otherwise specified, the individual’s consent constitutes the grounds for processing.

As part of our efforts to create a user-friendly website, we monitor visitors’ patterns of use. Google Analytics is the tool we use to analyse the data collected.

Google Analytics uses cookies (small text files which the website stores on the user’s computer), which log the user’s IP address and provides information about their online movements. These statistics answer questions such as: how many people visit the various pages, how long their visit lasts, which websites visitors come from and which browsers they use. None of the cookies enable us to link data concerning your use of our website to you as a person. The data collected via Google Analytics is stored on Google’s servers in the USA. Data received is subject to Google’s privacy guidelines.

An IP address is defined as an item of personal data because it can be traced back to a specific hardware device and thereby to an individual person. Mjøs Metallvarefabrikk AS uses Google Analytics’ tracing code to anonymize the IP address before the data is stored and processed by Google. In this way, the stored IP address cannot be used to identify the individual user.

Mjøs Metallvarefabrikk AS stores information about the search words visitors use on our website in Google Analytics. The storing of such data is intended to improve the information we provide. Search patterns are stored in an aggregated form. Only the search word is stored. Search words cannot be linked to other information about the visitor, such as their IP address.

Cookies are used in the operation and presentation of data from our website. Such cookies may contain information about the language code selected by the visitor. Cookies may contain information that supports system load-balancing, so that all visitors are ensured the best possible experience. For services that require login or search, cookies may be used to ensure that the service presents the data to the correct recipient.
