As defined in the GDPR, the word “processing” can mean doing almost anything with personal data. Process or processing: collecting or using personal data. Purpose: the specific reason or reasons we have for processing personal data. However, when we monetize our Applications, we never sell our users’ personal data to anyone. The money we make helps us keep the lights on, pay the salaries of our staff, and continue developing the most innovative, independent browsers on the market. Therefore we monetize our products in various ways, mostly by selling advertising within the Applications themselves. Nearly all of our Applications are free to download and use. Legal compliance: In some instances it is necessary for us to process personal data in order to fulfill other obligations under the law, for example detecting fraud, making sure you are who you say you are, etc.Īpplications: the specific apps we offer, as mentioned below, including our desktop and mobile browsers. Legitimate interest: When we process personal data based on legitimate interest, that means we have some use for the personal data (such as monetization, or ensuring that products work properly) which is in balance with your right to privacy. The ones most relevant to our Applications are as follows:Ĭonsent: When we process personal data based on your consent, that means you’ve expressly given us permission to do so.Ĭontractual grounds: When we process personal data because it is necessary to perform a contract, for example to provide you with a service as described in our Terms of Service or some other agreement. The GDPR sets out six specific grounds for processing personal data. Legal basis: the specific legal grounds we use for processing personal data. Below where we describe how we process personal data, we also list the specific purpose for doing so, as well as our legal basis under the GDPR (as those terms are defined below).ĭata controller: The person or company that decides whether and how to process personal data.ĭata processor: Someone who processes personal data on behalf of a data controller. This includes data such as your IP address, device IDs, advertising IDs, and location. Personal data: “any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person” as the GDPR says. However, in some cases we have simplified definitions here for the purpose of clarity. We use the GDPR as a guidepost because it applies directly to our European companies and because we believe it sets the highest legal standard for user privacy. Many of these definitions are adapted (with changes) from the General Data Protection Regulation (or “GDPR”), the data privacy law which applies in the European Union as well as in Norway. Definitionsįirst, let’s define some key terms. This privacy statement sets out when, how, and why we process your data (including but not limited to personal data), as well as your rights under applicable law. The specific categories of data that we collect, use, or otherwise process can vary from product to product, from one purpose to another, and in some cases based on your location. However, even when we use personal data, we generally have no way of actually identifying you as an individual, and our users are essentially anonymous to us. Some of the data we use is considered “personal data” under applicable law. This privacy statement describes how we use data in our browsers, websites, and services.
