Data controller

Avent Digital AS (org. no. 915 920 934) is the data controller for personal data processed via avently.avent.no. Contact us at kontakt@avent.no or +47 47 28 30 01.

What personal data we process

When you submit the contact form, we process your name, company (optional), email address, phone number (optional) and the content of your message. For ordinary visits, IP address and technical data are processed briefly in our hosting provider's operational logs. We use no analytics or tracking tools.

Purpose and legal basis

The data is used to answer and follow up your enquiry. The legal basis is GDPR Article 6(1)(b) (steps prior to entering into a contract) and 6(1)(f) (legitimate interest in answering enquiries). We do not send newsletters or marketing without separate consent.

Newsletter

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we process your email address to send you articles and insights from Avent Digital. The legal basis is consent (GDPR Article 6(1)(a)), given through double opt-in — you must confirm your subscription by email before anything is sent. Delivery is handled by our data processor Resend. Every newsletter contains an unsubscribe link that takes effect immediately, and once unsubscribed you receive no further emails. Unconfirmed sign-ups are deleted in periodic reviews.

Data processors and sharing

We do not sell or share your data, but use data processors for operations: Vercel (hosting), Supabase (database) and Resend (email notification of enquiries). Data processing agreements are in place with these providers. Data is otherwise only disclosed where required by law.

Transfers outside the EEA

Some providers may process data in the United States. Transfers rely on a valid mechanism: the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC).

Retention

Enquiries are stored until handled and deleted in periodic reviews, at the latest 12 months after last contact — unless the dialogue leads to a client relationship. In that case, necessary information is stored for the duration of the relationship, and accounting records per the Norwegian Bookkeeping Act.

Cookies

avently.avent.no sets no cookies for ordinary visitors and uses no tracking or analytics tools. Strictly necessary login cookies are set only when signing in to the administration tool. No consent banner is shown, as consent is only required for cookies that are not strictly necessary (Norwegian Electronic Communications Act § 2-7b).

Your rights

You have the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and to object to processing based on legitimate interest. Contact us at kontakt@avent.no — we respond without undue delay and within 30 days at the latest.

Complaints

If you believe we process personal data in breach of the rules, you can complain to the Norwegian Data Protection Authority (datatilsynet.no). We appreciate you contacting us first so we can put things right.
