Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 2025
1. Information We Collect
SmartVikinger is a news aggregator. We collect minimal information to operate the site:
- Standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited) — retained briefly for security and performance monitoring
- Analytics data if you consent to cookies (page views, general location, device type)
- No account registration, no personal data forms, no email collection
2. Cookies
We use cookies only with your consent. If you accept cookies, we may use Google Analytics to understand aggregate site usage. You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing your browser cookies.
3. Third-Party Content
All articles on SmartVikinger link to third-party publishers. When you click an article, you leave our site and are subject to that publisher's privacy policy. We have no control over third-party sites.
We use a news API service to source article headlines. Their data processing is governed by their own privacy policy.
4. Advertising
We may display advertisements through Google AdSense or similar networks. These services may use cookies to serve relevant ads based on your browsing history. You can opt out via Google's ad settings.
5. Data Retention
We do not store personal data beyond standard server logs. Analytics data, if enabled, is aggregated and anonymized. We do not sell, trade, or transfer your information to third parties.
6. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data. Since we collect minimal data, requests can be directed to hello@smartevikinger.com.
7. Changes
We may update this policy. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
