---------------------------
What is personal data?
Personal information is all information and assessments that can be linked to you as an individual. Typical personal data are name, address, telephone number, e-mail and social security number. According to the law, certain identification numbers are also personal data, and examples of this are: IP address, customer number, cookie ID/online identifier (anonymized). Information about your behavior (usage patterns, actions) is also defined as personal data.
Why do we collect personal data?
The purpose of processing the personal data that you have registered about you is primarily to mediate the purchase and sale of used equipment for the construction and transport industry - via our auction service at atsauksjon.no.
Our service requires that the buyer and seller must have created their own user in, with the personal data this entails (~see which personal data is collected), in order to be able to bid/buy and/or post products for sale. In addition to this, registered information about you is used to provide a perfect customer process for handling shipping, contracts and settlements.
Your contact details that are registered to your user will be used to be able to send you a notification by email, if you have set up a predefined search and when there is equipment for sale that matches this search. These searches can be deleted by you at any time. You will also be notified at your registered e-mail address when your ads are ready for display. Notification will also be sent to your registered email address when you have won a bid.
If you were to reset your password, your registered e-mail will also be used to complete this task. Your registered telephone number is used when logging in for the first time using a passcode.
Furthermore, it will be arranged that your telephone number can be used for a communication channel in connection with the completion of the completed bidding round (for buyer and seller).
We may use your information for profiling in connection with marketing. We can also obtain systematized personal data from credit reporting companies.
What personal data do we collect?
In order to fulfill our mediation service at atsauksjon.no, we require the following user-registered personal data from you:
- Name
- Telephone number
- Address
If you provide us with additional information, e.g. via the creation of own advertisements, this will also be stored with us. However, there is an option in the solution to anonymize information in images, e.g. registration number etc.
In addition, the website uses various technologies so that we can continuously improve it for the benefit of the user. These are technologies such as Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager, which help us to analyze traffic and use of the website.
To register as a user on the website, Eniro's open register is used to look up names and addresses, on the basis of entering a telephone number. Furthermore, Eurobate is used as a provider for sending SMS to users, and SendGrid is similarly used as a platform for sending e-mail correspondence. For verification when creating a user, a solution from Signicat is used, which supplies various authentication methods such as e.g. BankId, biometrics, etc.
If you have any questions related to privacy and use of the application, the system administrator at BDO AS can be contacted at websupportdrammen@bdo.no.
The age limit for use of atsauksjon.no is 18 years, and is controlled functionally by entering the date of birth during registration.

As long as you have an existing user on atsauksjon.no, registered information will not be deleted. By deleting the user, your personal data will be deleted, if ATS Norway AS does not have a statutory storage obligation (e.g. accounting and bookkeeping obligations)
Anonymised information (which cannot be linked to you as an individual, and which is therefore no longer personal data) may be retained for statistical purposes.
