What data we collect on this website
On this website, we collect personal data generated from technical processes such as contact form, newsletter form, as well as cookies, analytics, and third party embeds from users and site visitors.
Contact form
The Contact form collects the name and email address of the person together with the message submitted. This data is only used for customer service purposes. The information submitted through this form is NOT used for marketing purposes. It is only stored until it has been sent to the relevant person in the organization to handle the message from the user. If, throughout the communication process with the relevant representative from our organization, the person becomes interested in our products and services, their consent will be asked for their data to be introduced in our database of contacts. When this happens, they can receive newsworthy information regarding products or services they are interested in.
Newsletter form
On our website, you can subscribe to our company’s newsletter. The newsletter form collects the first and last name of the person, their email address, and the date and time of registration. The information submitted through this form is used for marketing purposes. As part of the registration for the newsletter, their consent is obtained and referred to this privacy policy. After user has given the consent, their data is stored in our database of contacts and it is only used when a newsletter or newsworthy information about our company is sent out. They can unsubscribe from these newsletters when receiving the actual newsletter email, by clicking “unsubscribe” in the end of the email body. Alternatively, they may revoke their consent to receiving our newsletter at any time by sending an email to cs@bjorn-thorsen.com and their data will be deleted immediately. The legal basis for this is Art. 6, paragraph 1 and Art. 7 of GDPR.
Why we collect your personal data
The reason why we collect your personal data is to be able to provide you with the best possible customer service and information regarding the products or services you are interested in, as well as to respond to your enquiries for payment processing and/or provision of goods and services to you. We also process your personal information where we are required to do so by law and for the exercise or defense of legal claims.
We also ask you to give consent to using cookies on our website so the technical interfaces can retain information about your browsing preferences. We use this data to track your journey on our website and to optimize your experience.
From time to time, we may contact you for research purposes, or to tell you about our special offers and other services in accordance with your contact preferences. Where appropriate, we will obtain your consent to do so. If you no longer wish to receive communications from us, please follow the ‘’unsubscribe” instructions provided in any of those communications.
If we intend on using your personal information for any other purpose, we will let you know how we intend to use it when it is captured.
We will only process your personal information for specific purposes listed above or for any other purposes specifically permitted by law. Your personal information will only be processed to the extent it is necessary for specific purposes listed above.
Legal basis for processing data
We will only process your personal information where you have consented (which you may withdraw after giving it, Art. 7 of GDPR), in order to perform a contract with you, or where the processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of others, for example, for market research purposes or, where you are an existing customer, to promote our goods and services or where we feel it relevant to your role as a business professional to inform you about new services and products. This will always be done in a reasonable manner and an option to unsubscribe will always be provided.
If we process any personal information of a sensitive nature (for example, dietary requirements), we will only do so where a further legal basis for processing is met, usually this will mean that you have given your explicit consent (which may be withdrawn at any time after giving it). At a time when this personal information is no longer needed (for example, after an event has closed), we will remove this personal information in a safe and secure way.
Storage of your personal information
A user who submitted a message via Contact form – Data stored until message is handled by our Customer Service or Sales teams.
A user who signed up to the newsletter – Data stored until user unsubscribes voluntarily or revokes his consent to the newsletter by notifying us directly at cs@bjorn-thorsen.com.

Your rights to the processing of your data information
The subject has the right to ask the person responsible for confirmation of the processing of personal data concerning him or her; if this is the case, it has a right to information about these personal data and to the information listed in GDPR, Art. 15.
Right to correction: The data subject has the right to demand from the person responsible without delay the correction of inaccurate personal data concerning them and, if necessary, the completion of incomplete personal data (GDPR, Art. 16).
Right to cancellation: The data subject has the right to demand from the person responsible that personal data relating to him/her be deleted without delay, provided one of the reasons listed in detail in GDPR, Art. 17 applies, e.g. if the data is no longer needed for the purposes pursued (right to delete).
Right to restriction of processing: The data subject has the right to require the person responsible to restrict the processing if one of the conditions listed in GDPR, Art. 18 is fulfilled, e.g. if the data subject has objected to processing for the duration of the review by the controller.
Notification obligation: The data subject has the right to be informed about the recipients of personal data. The controller shall notify all recipients of any correction or erasure of personal data or a restriction on processing under GDPR, Articles 16, 17 (1) and 18, unless that proves impossible or requires disproportionate effort. (GDPR, Art. 19)
Right to data portability: The data subject has the right to receive the personal data concerning him or her provided to a responsible person in a structured, common and machine-readable format. It also has the right, if technically feasible, to obtain the transfer of this data to another person responsible (GDPR, Art. 20).
Right to objection: The data subject has the right, at any time, to object to processing of personal data for reasons arising from his or her particular situation. The controller then no longer processes the personal data unless he/she can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defense of legal rights (GDPR, Art. 21).
Right to complain: without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, each data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if the data subject considers that the processing of personal data concerning them infringes the GDPR (GDPR, Art. 77). The data subject may assert this right with a supervisory authority in the Member State of his or her residence, place of work or place of alleged infringement.
These rights may not apply in some cases, including where we must comply with legal requirements, where it would violate the rights of someone other than the individual requesting access, or (in the case of your right to request access to your personal information) where the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.
If you would like to request access to, correction, amendment, or deletion of your personal information, please contact us using one of the methods mentioned above in section Customer Privacy Notice. We may request specific information from you to confirm your identity.
We reserve the right to add to or amend this privacy policy at our sole discretion, without prior notice to you. Please review our privacy policy on a regular basis to make sure you have read the latest version and you understand what we do with your personal information. Your continued use of our services or our websites following the posting of changes to these terms means that you consent to those changes. Last modified: 06/05/2020
