How and what we collect

We collect personal data when you provide it directly, such as when you contact us, subscribe to updates, or create an account, and when you use quenolarive.com, through cookies, logs, and similar tools. We also generate derived information, for example by grouping visitors into broad usage patterns. We avoid collecting sensitive health data unless you choose to share it in a message, and we encourage you not to send detailed medical information. When we must process such data, we handle it with extra care and only for the purpose of responding to your request.

How we use your data

We use your personal data to run and improve quenolarive.com, respond to your messages, and understand which resources on added sugar reduction are helpful. We also rely on data to maintain security, meet legal obligations, and communicate with you when you choose to hear from us. We do not use your information to make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects without human review.

• • Operate and maintain quenolarive.com, including troubleshooting, security monitoring, and performance optimisation.
• • Respond to your questions, feedback, or requests sent via contact forms, email, or other communication channels.
• • Send newsletters or updates about our content and services when you have opted in, and manage your preferences.
• • Analyse aggregated usage patterns to understand which pages, tools, and topics are most useful and where visitors struggle.
• • Improve our resources on added sugar reduction by testing new features and measuring their adoption in a privacy aware way.
• • Comply with legal obligations under Norwegian and EU law, including record keeping, security, and response to official requests.
• • Protect our rights, prevent misuse of quenolarive.com, and maintain the safety of our systems and other visitors.

When we share your data

We share your personal data only when necessary and with appropriate safeguards. This includes trusted service providers who help us operate quenolarive.com, send communications, or analyse aggregated usage, all under contractual obligations to protect your data. We may also share information when required by law, to respond to valid legal requests, or to protect our rights or the safety of others. We do not sell your personal data. When possible, we use aggregated or pseudonymised information instead of directly identifiable details.

Your rights and choices

Under Norwegian and EU data protection rules, you may have several rights regarding your personal data, including access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, and objection. The exact scope can depend on the legal basis for processing and the context. We take these rights seriously and will handle requests in a structured, transparent way. Some rights may not apply in every situation, for example when legal obligations require us to keep certain records, but we will explain our reasoning if we cannot fully comply.

• • You may request access to the personal data we hold about you and receive a copy in a readable format.
• • You may ask us to correct or complete personal data that is inaccurate or incomplete.
• • You may ask us to delete your personal data in certain situations, for example when it is no longer needed or you withdraw consent.
• • You may request a copy of certain data in a structured, commonly used format to move it to another service.
• • You may object to certain types of processing, including direct marketing or profiling based on legitimate interests.
• • In some cases, you can ask us to restrict processing of your data while we review a concern or legal claim.

How we protect your data

We combine technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against accidental loss, misuse, or unauthorised access. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable steps aligned with our size and risk profile. These include encryption in transit where appropriate, access controls, and regular review of our tools. We also encourage you to use strong passwords, keep devices updated, and avoid sending sensitive health or financial details through unprotected channels.

How long we keep your data

We keep personal data only for as long as needed to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, including legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Contact messages are retained while we manage your request and for a reasonable period afterwards. Subscription data is stored while you remain on our list and for a short time after you unsubscribe, to document your choice. When data is no longer required, we delete it or anonymise it so it can no longer be linked to you personally.

• • If you create an account, we may store login details, basic profile information, and preference settings you choose.
• • We may collect information about how you use our resources, such as which guides you open, which tools you try, and how often you return.
• • When you contact us or subscribe to updates, we may store your messages, questions, feedback, and email preferences.
• • If you make a paid transaction, limited billing details may be processed by our payment providers, not stored in full by us.
• • If you subscribe to updates, we may record which emails you open and which links you click, to refine what we send.

Retention periods may vary depending on legal obligations in Norway and the EU, and on the nature of your interaction with us.
