We collect the following types of information:

Information you provide directly

• Contact details when you get in touch with us (such as name, email address, and any information you include in your message or form submissions).

Technical and usage information

• Basic technical information provided by your browser (such as IP address, browser type and version, operating system, date and time of access, and the pages you visit).
• Aggregated analytics data about how visitors use our website.

Email engagement data

• Information about how you interact with our newsletter and other emails sent via Beehiv (such as whether an email was delivered, opened, links clicked, unsubscribe actions, and approximate location inferred from technical data such as IP address).

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal data.

We use Beehiv as our email marketing and newsletter platform to send you updates, articles, and other content related to Nordic Brief.

• When you subscribe to our newsletter, your email address (and any other subscription details you provide) are stored and processed in Beehiv.
• Beehiv helps us manage subscribers, send emails, and understand high‑level engagement (for example, open rates and click rates) so we can improve our communication and content.
• Beehiv may process technical information such as IP address, device and email client type, and timestamps related to email delivery and interaction, in order to deliver the service and generate aggregated statistics.

We use your subscription data:

• To send you the newsletter and other email communications you have signed up for.
• To manage subscriptions, including handling your unsubscribe requests and communication preferences.
• To analyze engagement with our emails at an aggregated level and improve our content.

The legal basis for this processing is:

• Your consent, when you actively subscribe to our newsletter or other email communications.
• Our legitimate interest in managing and optimizing our email communication and understanding aggregated engagement, where permitted.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in the footer of our emails or by contacting us directly.

We use Plausible Analytics, a privacy‑focused, cookieless analytics service, to understand how visitors use our website and to improve our content.

• Plausible does not use cookies or similar identifiers to track individual visitors across sites.
• The data collected is aggregated and does not allow us to identify you directly as an individual.
• Typical data points include page URL, HTTP referrer, browser and operating system type, device type, and approximate location based on anonymized IP information.

We rely on our legitimate interest in understanding and improving the performance and content of our website as the legal basis for this processing.

We currently do not use cookies or similar tracking technologies for analytics or marketing purposes.

• No third‑party tracking cookies (such as advertising pixels or retargeting technologies) are set when you visit our website.
• If we introduce cookies or similar technologies in the future, we will update this Policy and, where required, request your consent before they are used.

Your browser may store certain technically necessary information to ensure basic website functionality, which you can manage via your browser settings.

We host video content directly on our own infrastructure (or via privacy‑friendly hosting under our control), rather than using third‑party embedded players that set their own tracking cookies for advertising purposes.

• When you play a video, our servers process technical information such as your IP address, the requested file, date and time of access, and error logs if playback fails.
• This processing is necessary to deliver the content you request and to maintain the security and performance of our services.

We process personal data on the following legal bases:

Consent

• For sending newsletters and other marketing emails via Beehiv, based on your subscription.

Performance of a contract or taking steps at your request before entering into a contract

• For example, when we respond to your inquiries or provide services you request.

Legitimate interests

• To operate, maintain, and improve our website, including through privacy‑friendly analytics.
• To manage and optimize our email communication (for example, understanding aggregated engagement) where this is compatible with your rights.
• To ensure the security of our services and prevent abuse.

Legal obligations

• To comply with applicable laws, such as bookkeeping or statutory retention requirements.

Where we rely on legitimate interests, we have balanced these interests against your rights and freedoms and determined that our interests are not overridden.

We only share personal data when necessary and with appropriate safeguards:

• Service providers (processors)
• • We use trusted third‑party providers for hosting, infrastructure, email marketing (Beehiv), and other technical services needed to operate our website and send communications. These providers may process personal data on our behalf and only according to our instructions.
• Legal and regulatory requirements
• • We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or regulatory authorities, or if necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

We do not sell your personal data.

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy:

• Newsletter subscription data: kept for as long as you remain subscribed and for a reasonable period thereafter where required for documentation, legal claims, or compliance.
• Contact and communication data: kept for as long as needed to handle your inquiry and for a reasonable period thereafter, where required for documentation or legal purposes.
• Technical and analytics data: stored for limited periods and in an aggregated or anonymized form whenever possible.

When data is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it.

Beehiv and other service providers may be located outside the European Economic Area (EEA). If personal data is transferred outside the EEA, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, for example:

• The recipient country has an adequacy decision from the European Commission; or
• We use standard contractual clauses or other lawful transfer mechanisms.

You can contact us for more information about international transfers and the safeguards we use.

Depending on applicable law, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right of access – to obtain confirmation and information about the data we process about you.
• Right to rectification – to have inaccurate or incomplete data corrected.
• Right to erasure – to request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances.
• Right to restriction – to request that we limit processing of your data in certain situations.
• Right to object – to object to processing based on our legitimate interests, including certain types of direct marketing.
• Right to data portability – to receive certain personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine‑readable format.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
In Denmark, this is the Danish Data Protection Agency (Datatilsynet).

To exercise your rights, please contact us using the details provided above.

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Our website may contain links to third‑party websites or services that are not operated by us.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third‑party websites. We recommend that you read their privacy policies separately.

We may update this Privacy and Cookie Policy from time to time.

When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date and, where appropriate, provide additional notice on our website.
