Privacy Policy
This policy explains how SelectDesign collects and processes personal data when you visit our website, contact us, or use the customer portal.
Last updated 30 July 2026
1. Data controller
SelectDesign is the data controller for personal data processed through this website. Contact us at hei@selectdesign.no or +47 900 00 000, Oslo, Norway.
2. What data we process
- Contact form: name, email, phone number and the content of your enquiry.
- Chat: the messages you send us, plus an anonymous visitor ID stored locally in your browser so the conversation can continue.
- Account and customer portal: email address, name, login details, projects, files, invoices and messages tied to your customer relationship.
- Technical data: necessary logs for operations and security, and — if you consent — statistics on website usage.
3. Purpose and legal basis
- Responding to enquiries and providing quotes — legitimate interest and pre-contractual measures (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b) and (f)).
- Delivering services, project follow-up and invoicing — performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b)).
- Operations, security and troubleshooting — legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)).
- Analytics and marketing via cookies — your consent (Art. 6(1)(a)), which you may withdraw at any time.
- Bookkeeping of sales records — legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)).
4. Retention period
We store personal data only as long as necessary for its purpose. Enquiries that don't lead to a customer relationship are normally deleted within 12 months. Customer data is deleted within 24 months after the relationship ends, except accounting records, which are retained for five years under Norwegian bookkeeping law.
5. Sub-processors and sharing
We never sell personal data. Data is only shared with suppliers who help us run the service, under a data processing agreement:
- Hosting, database, authentication, file storage and email delivery for the website and customer portal.
- Accounting and invoicing systems for customers with active agreements.
- Analytics tools, only if you have consented to analytics cookies.
Some suppliers may process data outside the EU/EEA. Such transfers rely on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.
6. Cookies
This website uses cookies. You'll find the full overview in our cookie policy, where you can also change your consent.
7. Security
Access to customer data is role-based, all traffic is encrypted, and the customer portal is protected so each customer only sees their own projects, files and invoices.
8. Your rights
- Access to the data we hold about you
- Correction of inaccurate data
- Erasure of data we no longer have grounds to keep
- Restriction of processing and the right to object
- Data portability where processing is based on consent or contract
- Withdrawing consent at any time
Send a request to hei@selectdesign.no, and we'll normally respond within 30 days. You can also lodge a complaint with the Norwegian Data Protection Authority (Datatilsynet).
9. Changes
We may update this policy when our services or the law change. The current version is always published on this page.
