How we handle your information
Who is responsible? Sic Publishing AS, based in Lillehammer, Norway. For questions or privacy requests, contact mail@sicpublish.no.
What we collect. We collect the contact details, location and information you choose to give us in connection with an event suggestion, local support or a cultural contribution. You do not need to provide unnecessary sensitive information.
Why we use it. We use your information to respond to your registration, explore possible local events, coordinate your participation and occasionally tell you about relevant events or opportunities in your area. We do not add you to a general mailing list. Your agreement to be contacted is recorded with the date and version of the wording.
Where it is held. Contact information is encrypted when stored in our private event-planning database on Infomaniak hosting. Authorised site administrators can decrypt it, so this is not end-to-end encryption. Planning documents may be kept separately in restricted-access Proton Docs. We use email services to send acknowledgements and communicate with you. We do not publish your participation or share your details with local organisers without discussing this with you first.
How long we keep it. We review records at least annually. Ordinarily, registrations with no ongoing event-planning purpose will be removed after 24 months without meaningful contact. Records connected with an active event may need to be retained longer. A withdrawal removes the live registration; backup copies may remain temporarily until routine backup rotation.
Local supporter numbers. People who suggest an event or join our local network receive a pseudonymous supporter number, used to recognise related registrations made with the same email address. The number appears in a separate digital supporter card email. It is not an admission ticket and does not guarantee discounts or other benefits.
Your choices. You can withdraw each registration at any time using the personal link in your acknowledgement email. You can also ask us to access, correct or remove your information by emailing mail@sicpublish.no. You may contact the Norwegian Data Protection Authority (Datatilsynet) if you believe your rights have been infringed.
