At Ignite Procurement, we are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy applies to our website, content enrollment and downloads through our website and other channels (social media, email, phone etc.), as well as the use of our digital applications for strategic procurement (the «Services»). The Privacy Policy describes how we gather and process personal data when you use or enter into an agreement to use the Services.

1. What is personal data?

Personal data is information and assessments that can be linked to an individual person. Our processing of personal data is subject to the general regulations of the Norwegian Personal Data Act implementing the EU Privacy Policy (Regulation 2016/679), as well as other relevant regulations.
