Since privacy and data protection are at the core of our business, it is of paramount importance to us that when processing personal data, we do so in lawful and responsible manner. With personal data we mean any piece of information relating to an identified or identifiable person (‘data subject’) that allows us to identify a person directly or indirectly. Processing of personal data refers to any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data, such as collection and storing of personal data.
The standard for our personal data processing operations are the relevant national and international regulations and we adhere to the rules and principles set forth in the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
We want to be transparent about our data processing. You can find more information about Privaon’s data processing from the chapters below. We may update this Privacy Statement from time to time. If we make any substantial changes to our processing, we openly seek to inform you.
Privaon acts as processor for the personal data that we process in the context of providing DPO365. Privaon acts as a controller for the personal data concerning our sales and marketing efforts relating to DPO365.
Processor refers to a company or other party which is processing personal data on behalf of the controller and according to the instructions received from the controller. Privaon acts as processor for the personal data that we process in the context of providing DPO365. Our corporate customer remains the controller for the personal data.

However, if you wish to delete cookies, this can be done via settings in your web browser. Below you can read more about our use of cookies.
When you visit this website your online device will automatically receive one or several cookies, which are transferred from this website to your internet browser.
A cookie is a small text file. It does not contain any personal information and is not able to collect information. Two types of cookies can be used, “session-only” and “persistent”. “Session-only” cookies are deleted when you end your browser session. “Persistent cookies” remain on your device for the time period set in the cookie after which time they delete themselves. However, these cookies may be renewed every time you visit the website.
It is common to distinguish between first-party cookies and-third party cookies. First-party cookies are allocated to the website that you visit while third-party cookies come from a third-party, such as a web analytics program.
We use cookies to assess content usage and to compile statistics about the use of the website in order to improve the user experience. This data may be used to define where the visitors come from, what content is viewed and for how long. This information cannot be used to identify a visitor as an individual. Both first-party and third-party cookies may be used on this website.
Cookie lifetime may vary. Some cookies will disappear when you close the browser while others exist for longer. For more information on cookie expiry see the cookie declaration.
Pixels are codes on our website, which allows us to optimize marketing (retarget website visitors, reports) and track conversions. By using pixels, we can offer well-targeted and interesting content.

Read more about the service providers that we use.
For website analytics we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google. Google Analytics collects first-party cookies, data related to the device/browser, IP address and on-site activities to measure and report statistics about user interactions on our website. Google Analytics uses IP addresses to derive the geolocation of the visitors in our website, and for the security of the service.
We have applied IP masking which means that Google Analytics will anonymize the last octet of the IP address for Member States of the European Union as well as for other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The anonymization is done as soon as technically feasible at the earliest possible stage of the collection network which means that the full IP address is never written to disk.
You can prevent Google’s collection and use of data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available or use other advertising and tracking prevention tools.
We also use Google Analytics to analyse data from AdWords and DoubleClick Cookies. You can deactivate this data processing in Google’s privacy settings here.
