General
Personal data is all kinds of information that can, to some extent, be attributed to you. When you use our website, we collect and process a range of such information. This happens, for example, through normal access to content, if you sign up for our newsletter, participate in competitions or surveys, register as a user or subscriber, otherwise use our services, or make purchases via the website.
We typically collect and process the following types of information: a unique ID and technical information about your computer, tablet, or mobile phone, your IP address, geographic location, and which pages you click on (interests). To the extent that you explicitly give consent and enter the information yourself, we also process: name, phone number, email, address, and payment information. This will typically be in connection with creating a login or making a purchase.
Security
We process your personal data securely and confidentially in accordance with applicable legislation, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Danish Data Protection Act.
Your information will only be used for the purpose for which it was collected and will be deleted when that purpose has been fulfilled or is no longer relevant.
We have taken technical and organizational measures to prevent your information from being accidentally or unlawfully deleted, disclosed, lost, impaired, or accessed by unauthorized persons, misused, or otherwise processed in violation of the law.
Purpose
The information is used to identify you as a user and show you advertisements that are most likely to be relevant to you, to register your purchases and payments, and to provide the services you have requested, such as sending a newsletter. In addition, we use the information to optimize our services and content.
Retention period
The information is stored for the period permitted under the law, and we delete it when it is no longer necessary. The period depends on the nature of the information and the reason for its storage. Therefore, it is not possible to specify a general timeframe for when information is deleted.

In addition, we use a number of third parties to store and process data. These parties process information solely on our behalf and may not use it for their own purposes.
