This policy explains what happens to information about you when you visit Explorable.com. In short: you can read everything without an account, we do not use cookies for visitors, and we count visits without collecting personal data.
Who is responsible
Assistert Selvhjelp AS (organisation number 998 504 163), N-4630 Kristiansand, Norway, is the data controller for Explorable.com. Questions about privacy can be sent to kontakt@assistertselvhjelp.no.
What we collect
Explorable.com has no user accounts, no comment fields and no forms. We do not ask for your name, email address or other personal details.
Visitor statistics
We use Plausible Analytics to count visits: which pages are read, which site you came from, and your country, browser and device type. Plausible does not use cookies and does not store your IP address or anything else that identifies you. The statistics are only shown to us as totals. Plausible is a European company, and the data is stored in the EU. We do this because we have a legitimate interest in knowing which articles are useful.
Server logs
Like all websites, our server records each request in a log: the IP address, the time, the address requested and the browser used. The logs are used to keep the site running and secure, are kept for a short time and are then deleted. They are not used for statistics or shared with others, unless the law requires it.
Search
What you type in the search box is sent to our server to find matching articles. It is not stored, apart from in the server logs described above.
Cookies
Explorable.com does not set cookies for visitors. Only our own editors get a cookie when they log in to update the site.
Content from other websites
Some articles include YouTube videos. They are shown in YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode, which means YouTube does not set cookies until you play a video. When a page with a video is shown, your browser still connects to YouTube (Google), which then receives your IP address and information about your browser. If you play a video, Google's privacy policy applies.
The articles also link to other websites. When you follow a link, the other website's privacy policy applies.
Your rights
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) you have the right to ask for access to, correction of and deletion of personal data about you, to object to or restrict its use, and to data portability. Since we do not store personal data about visitors beyond the server logs, there is usually nothing to hand over. Contact us at kontakt@assistertselvhjelp.no if you have questions.
If you think we handle personal data in the wrong way, you can complain to the Norwegian Data Protection Authority, Datatilsynet.
Changes
If we change how we handle information, we will update this page.
