Website operation and data processors
Catch Media AS is our supplier for the development and maintenance of the website. Data collected in connection with the operation of the website is stored on servers operated by GROUP.ONE NORWAY AS. A separate data processing agreement governs which information the supplier has access to and how it must be processed.
Bookings, booking systems and retention periods
When you book a stay, trip or activity, we process your name, contact details, date of birth, nationality, travel dates and travel party, emergency contact, and the information we need to adapt equipment and activities, such as height, weight, shoe size and experience level. Information about equipment and activity adaptation is deleted after your stay has ended. The data is shared only with local partners, guides, skippers, transport companies or accommodation providers to the extent necessary to carry out your stay. We use the following booking systems as data processors to manage bookings, guest lists and room lists:
- Andørja Lodge and Canvas Telemark: Visbook (booking system) and BookVisit (booking on the website).
- Varg: Qondor (Qondor AS).
- Health data: Information about allergies, food intolerances and other health conditions that we need in order to serve safe food and carry out activities is treated as strictly confidential and deleted after your stay has ended.
- Invoice data: Retained for 5 years in accordance with the requirements of the Norwegian Bookkeeping Act
Payment
We use external providers for online payment (Adyen, Klarna, Nets). This means that we transfer contact and booking details to the payment provider when you pay, so that they can administer your purchase. Card details are not stored by us. Personal data that is transferred is processed in accordance with the privacy notices of Klarna, Adyen and Nets.

We store information about which search terms users enter on our websites in Google Analytics in order to improve the information we provide. Usage patterns are stored in aggregated form, and search terms cannot be linked to IP addresses or individuals.
Newsletter
Anyone who wishes to receive information and offers from us by email can subscribe to our newsletter. To make sure we send emails to the right person, we need to register your name and email address in our messaging system. In the messaging system we can also see where and when you open the newsletter, and which links you click. We use this information to improve our communication with you. No data is shared with other companies, and it is deleted when we are informed that you no longer wish to receive information from us. You can easily unsubscribe via the link in the newsletter we send you.
Chat
You can chat with us through the chat solution on our website. We do not ask for personal data such as your name, but you can share your email address with us if you wish.

Through Intercom's chat solution we can track your behaviour on the website, and chat history is stored so that we can tailor our responses. The information is stored in the software we use, provided by intercom.com. For more information about how they process this data, see intercom.com's privacy policy.
