Privacy on democity.site
This page explains what information the information site and the product walkthrough process. It does not cover the DEMOCITY prototype, which has its own page.
In short
- The site does not use cookies.
- The site has no visitor analytics, tracking or advertising.
- The site has one form, the contact form on the front page, and no sign-in of its own.
- The people, posts and figures in the product walkthrough are invented. They are not information about real people. What you choose in the walkthrough, for example when you try giving a response, stays in your browser and is not sent to DEMOCITY.
- The DEMOCITY product itself is a separate service for pilot participants, with its own sign-in and its own privacy notice. This page does not cover it.
- The pages and fonts are loaded from democity.site. The only exception is the map in the product walkthrough: when you open it, your browser fetches the map data from OpenFreeMap.
Who is responsible
Eivind Lukas Moen Fasting is personally responsible for the processing of personal data on this site. DEMOCITY is not a company. You can reach me through the contact form on the front page.
When you visit the site
The site is hosted by Vercel Inc., a US company, on Vercel’s free Hobby plan. To send you the pages, protect them against misuse and fix faults, Vercel processes technical information about your visit: IP address, approximate location based on the IP address, browser and time. There is no separate data processing agreement with Vercel. Vercel processes the information under its own terms and privacy notice.
The pages are sent through Vercel’s servers in many countries, and the information may be processed in the United States and other countries outside the EEA. I cannot promise that it stays in the EU or EEA.
The legal basis is my legitimate interest in providing a secure website (Article 6(1)(f) of the General Data Protection Regulation). I do not use the information to profile visitors, and I do not store it myself.
The map in the product walkthrough
The map page in the product walkthrough shows a map from OpenFreeMap, which is based on OpenStreetMap. When you open the map page, your browser fetches map tiles, fonts and symbols directly from tiles.openfreemap.org. OpenFreeMap can then see your IP address and which parts of the map are loaded. No other page in the walkthrough contacts OpenFreeMap. The map sends no information about what you do in the walkthrough.
When you send a message
The form sends your name (if you give it), your email address and your message. Your browser sends them to a function at Vercel on this site. The function runs in the United States (Washington, D.C.) and passes them on as an email through Resend to my email account at Google (Gmail). The function does not store the message or write its content to any log. To stop misuse, Vercel counts how many messages are sent from the same IP address. Resend sends the email from Ireland but stores the email and a delivery log in the United States. Google (Gmail) stores the email in my inbox. Each does so under its own terms, and your message may be processed outside the EEA. I use the information only to reply to you and follow up your enquiry. The legal basis is my legitimate interest in answering enquiries. If I reply, the reply comes from my own email address. I delete the enquiry when I no longer need it to follow it up.
The photo on the site
The photo of the square in Parkveien was taken in a public place. The faces of passers-by have been blurred by hand in every image of the square. People the image model added to the proposals are not real people. If you still recognise yourself and want me to remove the image or blur more, get in touch and I will.
Your rights
You can ask for access to, correction of and deletion of information about you, and you can object to the processing. If you believe information is being processed in breach of the rules, you can complain to the Norwegian Data Protection Authority (Datatilsynet).
