Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-06-03

ExpatNord.io ("we", "us") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and the choices you have.

1) Data Controller

The data controller for this website is ExpatNord.io.
Contact: privacy@expatnord.io

2) What data we collect

We may collect the following categories of personal data:

• Form submissions: the information you enter in our forms (e.g., name, email, message, selected options).
• Consent information: whether you consented (checkboxes) and when consent was given.
• Technical data: basic log information such as IP address, timestamp, and browser user-agent (for security and troubleshooting).
• Uploaded files (optional): if you upload a file in a form, we store it to process your request.

3) Why we collect data (purposes)

• To respond to your requests (e.g., contact form, questions, issue reports).
• To improve the website (e.g., bug reports, feedback).
• To maintain security and prevent abuse.
• To send newsletters only if you explicitly subscribe and consent.

4) Legal basis (GDPR)

We process your data under one or more of the following legal bases:

• Consent — when you tick consent checkboxes (e.g., newsletter or permission to contact you).
• Legitimate interests — for basic site security, preventing fraud/abuse, and improving the site.
• Contract / pre-contract steps — if you request something that requires follow-up and delivery.

5) How we store and protect your data

We store form submissions in a database and protect access with authentication and access controls. We take reasonable technical measures to protect data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

6) Data retention

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected:

• Contact/Questions: typically up to 12 months, unless ongoing communication requires longer.
• Issue reports: typically up to 24 months (helps track fixes and recurring issues).
• Newsletter: until you unsubscribe.
• Uploaded files: typically deleted when no longer needed to process your request.

If you want us to delete your data sooner, contact us (see section 10).

7) Sharing of data

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only when necessary:

• Service providers (hosting, email delivery, storage) strictly to operate the site.
• Legal obligations if required by law.

8) Cookies

ExpatNord.io may use essential cookies required for site functionality (e.g., login/session). If we use analytics cookies, we will do so in line with applicable laws and provide choices where required.

9) International transfers

If our hosting or service providers process data outside the EU/EEA, we take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards (such as contractual protections) consistent with GDPR requirements.

10) Your rights

Depending on your location (including the EU/EEA), you may have the right to:

• Access your personal data
• Correct inaccurate data
• Request deletion ("right to be forgotten")
• Restrict or object to certain processing
• Data portability (where applicable)
• Withdraw consent at any time (where processing is based on consent)
