Evidens cares about keeping your personal data secure, and we are transparent about how we store and use your personal information.
Any information you give to us is given voluntarily, and we do not store or use your personal data in other ways than those you have consented to.

On evidens.no, there are two ways you can consent:
1. By allowing websites to place cookies in your browser in your browser settings (learn more).

Read on to learn how we gather information from you and how we use and store it.

How we gather information from you
As you know, we gather information from you by a) placing cookies in your browser and b) when you provide personal information to us by filling out form fields.

What cookies do we place, and what do they do?
We use Google Analytics to monitor how you and other users who have cookie tracking enabled use our website. This means we track site visits across pages, and get an overview of how long your session lasts, what pages you’ve visited and where you clicked our link (Google, Instagram, some other website).

Google Analytics uses your IP address, user IDs and advertising cookies to identify you.Google Analytics is also connected to Google AdWords for marketing purposes. This means we record conversions and may run remarketing campaigns based on your website usage using Google Analytics and AdWords.

An example of a remarketing campaign run through AdWords could be: You visit our document control course page and leave the website because you want to eat dinner, so Google AdWords shows you an ad for our course on a different website.

The retention period for user identifiers in Google Analytics (including cookies and advertising IDs) is 26 months after the last visit you made to our site.

In addition to Google Analytics we use LeadFeeder to calculate which companies visit our website and how they use it to improve our communication across channels.

What do we do to keep your personal data safe?
All our software suppliers are reputable suppliers that take the safekeeping of personal and non personal data very seriously, just like we do. To protect your personal data we protect our devices, avoid open networks, use safe storage solutions and follow good password practices. We also protect our facilities and personnel, and keep our technology stack (website and plugins) up to date. We are using service providers solely for assuring the safety of our devices and software.

We also perform regular risk assessments where we review available technology, needs and regulations. This is in effort to assure that we always take the necessary security steps, to avoid things like personal data getting into the wrong hands. Addit Vest AS deliver IT and security services for us to assure your data is safe and we have an data processor agreement with them that ensures they don’t misuse or share your personal or non personal data.

Alerting authorities
If something happens: 1. a safety breach or 2. deviation from procedures, we 1. alert Norwegian authorities digitally within 72 hours, and 2. immediately alert Norwegian authorities digitally. If we don’t have the full picture of the situation we’ll give authorities an overview of the deviation piece by piece. We also document this work.

Alerting you
If a high risk safety breach occurs, we’ll alert you as soon as possible, where we explain as simply as possible:

1. What happened
2. Who you can contact about it
3. Possible consequences of the breach
4. Description of steps towards stopping the breach and limiting the consequences

We may not alert you if:

1. Steps for protection against the security breach are already taken, especially if the steps render the data legible (encryption, etc.)
2. If steps making the threat non-likely are taken
3. If we would have a hard time reaching all touched by the breach. In those cases we’d publish warnings, send emails, etc. hoping to reach all those affected by the breach

How do you contact us for deletion/editing requests?
If you want to request changes to your contact information or edits, reach out to post@evidens.no and we’ll get back to you and comply with your request or give you a reason why we can’t within 30 days. We’ll store records of requests until a Norwegian government representative tells us we can delete them.

Other personal data processing initiatives

Email communication
Evidens uses email as part of the daily work and dialoge with internal and external contacts. The general manager is responsible for processing of personal data in this setting. All Evidens employees go through their inbox and delete unnecessary content at least yearly starting May 25th. If an employee quits, relevant emails are transferred to colleagues. Do not send any sensitive data over email as email is not encrypted. Sometimes employees talk on the phone as well, and store contact details on their phone. They have a history of texts and phone calls available, and follow the same procedures we have set up for email for phone calls and texts (at least yearly).

Information about employees
Evidens processes employee personal data to administer salary and personell. Necessary data for processing of salaries, and reporting to the government is stored. Other data is tied to job function and facilitating work. Data is collected from the employees and are only shared when the law requires it (mainly salary and tax reporting) or if the employee willingly has agreed to having their details sent to potential clients (new opportunities).

Deletion of said data is done based on applicable Norwegian laws. Information such as name, position and responsibilities are considered official information, and may be published on Evidens’ website.

All existing and future employees have a personell file in our archives, where job applications are stored.

Sensitive and non sensitive data from third party companies
A part of our business is based around keeping sensitive data safe for other companies. Security measures required by law and additional security measures not mentioned here for the purpose of maintaining data security. We only store and process personal data from in accordance with instructions within applicable laws and according to instructions from third party companies (clients).
