In some cases, i.e. job applications, we also register your age, gender and personal identification number.

Visitors, consultants etc. who get access to information about the Norwegian Coastal Information and our IT-systems must sign a non-disclosure agreement. Visitors must always register and wear their visitor identification. The list of visitors and the non-disclosure agreements will be stored for two years after the visit.

The Norwegian Coastal Administration has several data processors, including suppliers and partners of our IT-systems (i.e. daily operations, administration and support) and access control. We have signed data processor agreements with all data processors.

We might share your personal data with other government agencies when it is considered necessary due to reporting, treatment of a case etc.

6. How long will we keep your personal data?

The Norwegian Coastal Administration will keep your personal data as short as possible and only as long as necessary. In some cases, we are required to keep your data longer according to the Norwegian Archives Act.

We will store personal data as long as it follows from the law, and if a special need arise (i.e. if we receive complaints or claims).

7. Changes to the privacy statement

The Norwegian Coastal Administration may update this privacy statement when the processing of personal data changes, or when revision is necessary due to changes in the legislation.
