Ilisimatusarfik’s handling and processing of personal data

At all times, Ilisimatusarfik adheres to the current legislation for the processing of personal data. This means amongst other things that you must be notified of any transfer of your personal data to the extent that Ilisimatusarfik is required by law, court order any other similar ruling to hand over the information required of us, unless such notification is in violation of the law.

Ilisimatusarfik does not collect personal data that you make publicly available on our website. However, we must warn you that we are not able to prevent third parties’ unauthorised collection and processing of personal data that you yourself make available.

Personal data is never disclosed to third parties unless explicit permission is provided by you. Furthermore, we never collect personal data that has not been made available by you through your registration or purchase on our website or your participation in a survey or similar activities. In this respect, information about your name, address, postcode, e-mail address, gender, age, interests etc. may be collected.

Personal data is used to complete the purchase or service that the data was collected for. It is also used to obtain a better knowledge of you and other users of our websites.

We store your personal information on computers with limited access located in controlled facilities, and our security measures are continuously monitored to determine whether our user information is handled properly and with due regard to your rights as a user. However, we cannot guarantee 100% for data transferred via the Internet. This means that there is a risk, however unlikely, that other unauthorised persons gain access to data that is sent and stored electronically. You thus disclose your information at your own risk.

If you would like to know which personal information Ilisimatusarfik has stored about you, you are welcome to contact us. If you find that the personal information or data about you, which is processed by Ilisimatusarfik, is incorrect or misleading, you are entitled to demand that this data be corrected, deleted or blocked. You may at any time object to the processing of your information. You may also revoke your consent at any time.
