Dyrebeskyttelsen Norge Privacy Policy
This statement explains how privacy is protected by Dyrebeskyttelsen Norge’s websites. By using this website, you consent to the content of this statement.
1. Introduction
We are committed to ensuring that our supporters have confidence in us and how we handle personal data. Here we explain how and why we collect information about you and how we consider privacy.
2. General
Personal data is information that can be linked to an identifiable individual. All processing of personal data is subject to specific legislation, including through the Personal Data Act.
Dyrebeskyttelsen Norge collects personal data for several different purposes. Below is an overview of the various personal data that is registered and the purpose of the registration.
- For those who support us financially
Dyrebeskyttelsen Norge registers personal data about individuals who support us financially. This applies to both members and donors. The purpose of the registration is to be able to administer donor relationships, keep track of the organization’s supporters, and report donations to the tax authorities. The organization has a reporting obligation to the tax authorities and all donors receive an annual statement with an overview of the donations that Dyrebeskyttelsen Norge has reported.
We register personal data such as name, address, telephone number, email, gender, and date of birth. This information usually comes from the member themselves, but we may supplement or change this information with information from external sources to improve data quality.
For reporting to the tax authorities, it is necessary to register the donor’s national identification number. If we have not received the national identification number directly from the donor, we will attempt to obtain this from the National Registry. This is done with special permission granted by the authorities.
If a donor wishes to remain anonymous, Dyrebeskyttelsen Norge must be informed of this.
As a non-profit organization, we depend on approaching supporters to ask for donations. Dyrebeskyttelsen Norge reserves the right to contact those who give us donations to ask for additional support.
- For those who adopt animals from us
When adopting animals from Dyrebeskyttelsen Norge, name, address, email, and telephone number are registered in our adoption database. This information usually comes from the adoptive home itself, but we may supplement or change this information with information from external sources to improve data quality. The purpose of the registration is to be able to administer the customer relationship and follow up on animals and animal owners.

Dyrebeskyttelsen Norge processes personal data from job applicants and others who express interest in working with us.

If it may be relevant to employ the person at a later time, we will retain the personal data as long as the applicant consents.
