Privacy Declaration
Transparency Gate isn’t just a portal for Due Diligence assessments, reporting and sharing information about how companies handle negative consequences for basic human rights and decent working conditions.

The privacy policy informs about how Transparency Gate at Digitaliq AS (organisation number 918 266 917) collects and uses personal data.
Digitaliq AS, through the managing director, is responsible for the company’s processing of personal data. Where the day-to-day responsibility has been delegated, this appears under each individual point. The delegation only covers the tasks and not the responsibility.
In this declaration, we explain which personal data we process, how we process this and the purpose of the processing. The declaration contains information you are entitled to when information is collected from our websites (Personal Information Act § 19), when you are a customer with us or apply for a job with us, as well as general information about the collection, storage and use of personal information (Personal Information Act § 18 1. joint).

Unless otherwise stated below, Digitaliq’s general manager has the day-to-day responsibility for Digitaliq’s processing of personal data on our websites. It is voluntary for those who visit the website to provide personal information in connection with services, for example by sending us requests, registering for courses, breakfast meetings or receiving newsletters.

Statistics
Transparencygate.com collects de-identified and anonymised information about visitors to our websites. The purpose of the collection is to prepare statistics that are used to improve and further develop content on the website and blog. Examples of which information is collected are: how visitors use the website, which website the user comes from, how many people visit the various pages, how long the visit lasts, what they click on and which browsers are used.
The information is processed in de-identified and aggregated form. De-identified means that we cannot trace the information we collect back to the individual user. We collect the entire IP address, but the IP address is automatically anonymized by removing parts of the IP address and replacing it with a new code. Aggregate level means that all data is combined into a group and that data is not processed individually.
We use the analysis tools of Google Inc for our websites. The information is stored by Google. Information from this tool is not shared with other actors by Transparency Gate.
