Email address for inquiries regarding privacy: personvern@pearlconvert.no

Among the types of personal data that this website collects, by itself or through third parties, the following are tracked: number of users; city; device information; session statistics; browser information; usage data; e-mail address; phone number; first name; surname; profession; current city; company name; country. 

Full details of each type of personal data collected are provided in the dedicated sections of this privacy policy or in specific explanatory texts displayed prior to data collection. 

Personal data may be freely provided by the user or, in the case of usage data, collected automatically when using this website. 

Unless otherwise specified, all data requested by this website is mandatory and failure to provide this data may make it impossible for this website to provide its services. In cases where this site specifically states that some data is not mandatory, users are free not to communicate this data without consequences for the availability or functioning of the service.  

Users who are unsure about which personal information is mandatory can contact us. Any use of cookies - or other tracking tools - on this website or by the owners of third-party services used on this website serves the purpose of providing the service required by the user, in addition to other purposes described in this document and in the cookie policy, if available.  

Users are responsible for third party personal data obtained, published or shared through this website and confirm that they have the third party's consent to provide the data to the owner. 

The Owner takes appropriate security measures to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, modification or unauthorized destruction of the data. 
 
Data processing is carried out using computers and/or IT tools, according to organizational procedures and modes that are strictly linked to the specified purposes. In addition to the owner, the data may in some cases be accessible to certain types of responsible persons involved in the operation of this website (administration, sales, marketing, legal, system administration) or external parties (such as third-party technical service providers, hosting providers, IT companies, communications agencies) designated, if necessary, as data processors by the owner. The updated list of these parties can be requested from the owner at any time.

The owner can process personal data relating to users if one of the following applies: 

• Users have given their consent for one or more specific purposes. Note: According to some laws, the owner may have permission to process personal data until the user objects to such processing ("opt-out"), without having to ask for consent or any other of the following legal grounds. However, this does not apply when the processing of personal data is subject to European data protection law; 

• the provision of data is necessary for the execution of an agreement with the user and/or for any obligations prior to the contract; 

• processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which the owner is subject; 

• the processing is linked to a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of public authority vested in the owner; 

• processing is necessary for the purpose of legitimate interests pursued by the owner or by a third party. 
   

In any case, the owner is happy to help clarify the specific legal basis that applies to the processing, and in particular whether the provision of personal data is a legal or contractual requirement, or a requirement that is necessary to enter into a contract. 

The data is processed at the owner's operating offices and at other locations where the parties involved in the processing are located. 
 
Depending on the user's location, data transfer may involve the transfer of the user's data to a country other than their own. To find out more about the location of processing of such transferred data, users can check the section containing details about the processing of personal data. 
 
Users also have the right to obtain information about the legal basis for data transfers to a country outside the EU, to any international organization governed by international law or established by two or more countries, such as the United Nations, and about the security measures taken by the owner to protect their data. 
 
If such a transfer takes place, users can find out more by checking the relevant parts of this document or ask the owner using the information provided in the contact section.

Personal data must be processed and stored for as long as is required by the purpose for which it was collected. 
 
Therefore: 
 

• Personal data that is collected for purposes related to the performance of a contract between the owner and the user must be kept until such contract is fully performed.  
• Personal data collected for the purposes of the owner's legitimate interests must be kept for as long as is necessary to fulfill such purposes. Users can find specific information about the legitimate interests pursued by the owner in the relevant parts of this document or by contacting the owner. 

 
The owner is allowed to keep personal data for a longer period when the user has given consent to such processing, as long as such consent is not withdrawn. Furthermore, the owner may be obliged to store personal data for a longer period when required to perform a legal obligation or by order of an authority. 
 
When the retention period expires, personal data must be deleted. The right to access, right to deletion, right to rectification and right to data portability cannot therefore be enforced after the end of the retention period.

If the user accepts marketing communications from the owner, the owner will be able to use the user's data for advertising purposes, newsletter lists and other marketing-related purposes. This lasts until the user himself withdraws consent for marketing communications.

The data about the user is collected to allow the owner to provide its service, comply with its legal obligations, respond to enforcement requests, protect its rights and interests (or those of the users or third parties), detect malicious or fraudulent activity, as well as the following: Analytics, User database management, handling contacts and sending messages, remarketing and behavioral targeting, advertising and heatmapping and measurement of visits. 
 
For specific information about the personal data used for each purpose, the user can refer to the section "Detailed information on the processing of personal data".

Personal data is collected for the following purposes and when using the following services:

Where personal data is processed for a public interest, in the exercise of an official authority that owns the owner or for the purpose of the legitimate interests pursued by the owner, users can object to such processing by providing a reason related to their particular situation to justify the objection.  

However, users must know that if their personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, they can object to this processing at any time without giving any reason. To find out whether the owner processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, users can refer to the relevant parts of this document. 

Any requests to exercise user rights can be directed to the owner via the contact details in this document. These requests can be exercised free of charge and will be addressed by the owner as early as possible and always within one month. 

The user's personal data may be used for legal purposes by the owner in court or in stages leading to possible legal action arising from improper use of this website or the related services.   

The user declares to be aware that the owner may be required to disclose personal data at the request of public authorities.

More details about the collection or processing of personal data can be requested from the owner at any time. Please see the contact information at the beginning of this document.  

This site does not support "Do Not Track" requests. 

To determine whether any of the third-party services it uses meet Do Not Track requests, please read their privacy policies.
