Important: be aware of online scams

We will never ask you to run commands on your computer, enter your BankID/password, or share sensitive information by phone, email, SMS, or chat. If someone contacts you claiming to be from us and asks for this, it is not us — do not follow their instructions, and contact us immediately so we can look into it.

Some common tricks to watch out for:

  • ClickFix: A fake "verify you're human" or "click to fix an error" page asks you to open a Run/terminal window, paste in a code snippet, and press Enter. This is not a real fix — it secretly installs malware on your computer. A genuine website will never ask you to paste and run commands.
  • Phishing emails/SMS: Messages that look like they come from us or a business listed here, asking you to log in, confirm a payment, or click a link to "verify" your account. Check the sender address carefully, and never click links in unexpected messages — go to the site directly instead.
  • Fake tech support: A pop-up or phone call claiming your computer is infected or your account has a problem, pressuring you to install remote-access software or pay immediately.
  • Fake invoices: An invoice or payment request that looks official but has a different account number, urgent tone, or unfamiliar sender.

If in doubt, don't click, don't run anything, and don't share information. Contact us directly using the details below to check if something is genuine.

What we collect

This overview is generated automatically based on which features are actually enabled on this website.

User account
Name, username and email address when you create an account or log in.
Business registration
Contact person, email, phone number, address, organisation number, description and any pictures you provide when registering or editing a business.
Contact forms
Your name, email address and the message you write when contacting a business through the site.
Purchase history
What you purchased, the amount and the date — never full card or account details, which are handled directly by the payment provider.
Pictures you upload
The picture file itself, an optional title/description, and which account uploaded it.
Ratings and view counts
The star rating you give a picture, together with a one-way scrambled (hashed) version of your IP address so the same visitor cannot vote multiple times. Never your actual IP address or identity.
Technical/cookie data
Standard technical data needed for the site to function (e.g. session cookies). See the "Cookies" section below for the full, automatically detected overview.

We only collect what is needed for the features you actually use — we do not ask for more than necessary.

How we use information

This overview is generated automatically based on which features are actually enabled on this website.

Business directory
Contact details, description and location you provide when registering a business are published so visitors can find and contact the business.
Contact forms
Name, email and message you submit through a contact form are forwarded directly to the relevant business by email — we do not use this for anything else.
Payment
When you purchase a listing upgrade or campaign, payment details are handled by our payment provider (Vipps/PayPal/invoicing) — we only store the purchase itself (amount, date, what was bought), never your full card or account details.
Picture uploads
If you upload a picture while logged in, we link it to your account so you can manage it afterwards, and so an admin can review it before it is published.
Anonymous usage statistics
View counts and star ratings on pictures use a one-way scrambled (hashed) version of your IP address, only to prevent the same visitor from voting/counting multiple times. This cannot be traced back to you.
Business registry lookup
If you provide an organisation number when registering a business, we look up public information about it from the Brønnøysund Register Centre to pre-fill the form. We only send the organisation number, nothing about you personally.
Google Analytics
We use this to understand overall traffic patterns on the site (e.g. number of visitors, popular pages) — not to identify individuals.

We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties for advertising purposes. Any third-party analytics/marketing tools listed above (if any) are detected automatically and may not catch every possible tool in use.

Third-party sharing

Nettstedet vårt er integrert mot Googles verktøy i henhold til gjeldende personvernregelverk (GDPR) og Googles retningslinjer via Google Consent Mode v2. Dette betyr at ingen Google-skripter for analyse eller markedsføring aktiveres før du har gitt ditt eksplisitte samtykke i banneret vårt.

This overview is generated automatically based on which third parties are actually in use on this website.

Brønnøysundregistrene
We send the organisation number you provide to look up public business information. No personal data about you is sent.
Google Analytics
General, non-identifying usage statistics may be shared with these analytics/advertising providers, as described in the cookies section below.
Our hosting provider
All data is stored on servers operated by our hosting provider, who processes it on our behalf under a data processing agreement.

We never sell your personal data. Any third-party tools listed above are detected automatically and may not catch every possible tool in use.

Your rights

I henhold til personopplysningsloven (GDPR) har du rett til:

Å be om innsyn i personopplysningene vi har lagret om deg i Joomla. Dette vil være brukerkonto informasjon og eventuelle brannmur logginger. Brannmur eller liggende sikkerhetslogginger er ikke tilknyttet personer, men ip adresser. For at vi skal kunne vite at ip adresse tilhører deg er vi nødt å ha info om din ip adresse ved en sånn forespørsel. Se kapittel "Hva vi samler inn"

Å kreve retting eller sletting av din brukerkonto og tilhørende data.

Data som samles inn av google har vi ikke mulighet å samle inn ettersom dette er anonymisert. Du kan utføre din egen personvernsjekk med Google sitt eget verktøy. Knapp nedenfor.

You are browsing anonymously. As a visitor without an account, we only store very limited, non-identifying information — such as a one-way scrambled (hashed) version of your IP address, used only to prevent the same visitor from rating the same picture multiple times or inflating view counts. This cannot be traced back to who you are.

If you have a user account on this site (e.g. because you own a business listing here), you can log in below — we will then automatically show you exactly what personal data is stored about your account.

Right to complain: If you believe we are processing your personal data in breach of the rules, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Norwegian Data Protection Authority (Datatilsynet). datatilsynet.no →

This overview is generated automatically by scanning this website's actual configuration and installed, enabled extensions — not a generic template.

Type Name / source Purpose Duration
Necessary joomla_user_state / session cookie Keeps you logged in and protects forms against misuse (CSRF). Cannot be turned off, as the site will not function without it. Until browser closes / session ends
