Privacy & GDPR Policy
Alshemal Norway strictly adheres to the Norwegian Personal Data Act (Personopplysningsloven) and the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Operating extreme Arctic expeditions requires the collection of sensitive logistical data, which we protect and minimize rigorously.
1. Data Collection & Booking
We collect logistical data—such as dietary requirements, physical dimensions for thermal gear, and contact information—solely to execute the travel contract safely. This data is collected with explicit consent and processed securely through the Bókun platform utilizing SSL encryption.
2. The Right to Erasure (7-Day Protocol)
Sensitive biometric and logistical data is not stored indefinitely. To ensure strict data minimization, our administrative protocol dictates the permanent deletion of sensitive guest logistics from our active CRM within 7 days of your expedition's conclusion. Anonymized financial ledgers are retained solely to comply with the Norwegian Accounting Act (Bokføringsloven).
3. Photography & Media Rights
In compliance with the Norwegian Copyright Act (Åndsverkloven § 104), photographs where a guest is the main recognizable subject will not be published, distributed, or utilized for commercial marketing without explicit, opted-in consent.
Real Photo Guarantee: Private high-resolution portraits delivered to guests post-tour are hosted on secure cloud links that automatically expire and are permanently deleted after 7 days. We do not maintain public guest galleries.
4. Contact Our Data Officer
If you wish to request immediate access to, correction of, or the permanent deletion of your personal data under the "Right to be Forgotten," please reach out via our official Contact page.
