Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Zolvine respects your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, store and protect personal information when you visit this website or submit an application to partner with us.

We are based in Norway, where the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies through the Norwegian Personal Data Act (personopplysningsloven).

2. Who controls your data

The controller responsible for your personal information is:

• Legal company name: Zolvine Bratlie (sole proprietorship)
• Trading name: Zolvine
• Business address: Eikelibuen 8, 1407 Vinterbro, Norway
• Organization number: 938 549 591
• Privacy email: martinbratlie12@gmail.com

3. Information we collect

Information you give us

When you apply through the application form on this website, we collect:

• Your name
• Your email address
• Your Instagram or YouTube link
• The type of content you create
• A description of your audience
• What your audience asks you for help with
• Your existing products or offers, if any
• What you want to monetize
• Any other information you choose to include in your application or in a message to us

Information collected automatically

Depending on the website’s hosting and security configuration, limited technical information may be processed automatically when you visit, such as:

• IP address
• Browser type
• Device type
• Operating system
• Referring URL
• Pages viewed
• Date and time of visits
• Error and security logs

This information may be kept in logs by our hosting provider, Cloudflare.

The application form also uses two simple spam checks that run in your browser: a hidden field that people leave empty, and a check on how quickly the form is submitted. They do not identify you or collect extra information about you.

4. How we use information

We use personal information to:

• Review partnership applications
• Contact you about your application
• Assess whether there is a potential fit for a partnership
• Respond to your questions
• Operate, secure and improve the website
• Prevent spam, fraud, abuse and security threats
• Maintain business records
• Comply with legal obligations

5. Legal bases under the GDPR

The GDPR requires a legal basis for each way we use personal information. Depending on the situation, we rely on the following:

• Steps before a potential partnership. When you apply, we process your application to take steps at your request before possibly entering into a partnership agreement with you.
• Legitimate interests. We process information where it is necessary for our legitimate interests in responding to enquiries, assessing applications, operating and securing the website, and preventing spam and abuse, provided those interests are not overridden by your interests, rights and freedoms.
• Consent. Where we specifically ask for your consent, we rely on it. You can withdraw your consent at any time. This does not affect processing that took place before you withdrew it.
• Legal obligations. Where the law requires us to process or keep information, for example for accounting purposes.

6. Form submissions and service providers

Applications sent through the form on this website are processed by our form processor, Formspree. When you submit the form, your answers are sent over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection to Formspree, which passes them on to us. Formspree also receives technical information, such as your IP address, when the form is submitted. Formspree’s privacy policy explains how it handles this information.

We use the following service providers:

• Form processor: Formspree
• Website hosting provider: Cloudflare (Cloudflare Pages)
• Email provider: Google (Gmail)

Our service providers may process personal information only as needed to provide their services, subject to their own terms and privacy policies.

7. International transfers

We are based in Norway, which is part of the European Economic Area (EEA). Some of our service providers may process personal information outside Norway or the EEA.

Where the law requires it, we rely on appropriate safeguards for these transfers. Depending on the provider and the country involved, these may include adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses or other lawful transfer mechanisms. Contact us at martinbratlie12@gmail.com if you would like more information.

8. Data retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including responding to applications, maintaining business records, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, and meeting legal obligations.

9. Data security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect personal information. However, no method of transmitting information over the internet or storing it electronically is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:

• Request access to your personal information
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your personal information
• Request restriction of processing
• Object to certain processing
• Request data portability, where applicable
• Withdraw consent, where processing is based on consent
• Lodge a complaint with a data protection authority

To make a request, contact us at martinbratlie12@gmail.com. We may ask you to confirm your identity before we act on a request.

11. Complaints in Norway and the EEA

If you are in Norway, you can contact the Norwegian Data Protection Authority, Datatilsynet. If you are elsewhere in the EEA, you can contact your local data protection authority; the European Data Protection Board keeps a list of national authorities.

You are also welcome to contact us first at martinbratlie12@gmail.com.

12. Cookies and analytics

This website does not currently use non-essential analytics or advertising cookies. Essential technical storage or cookies may still be used where necessary for security, functionality, or basic operation.

13. Children’s privacy

This website is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has given us personal information, please contact us at martinbratlie12@gmail.com so we can take appropriate steps, such as deleting it.

14. Third-party links

This website may contain links to third-party websites or social platforms. We are not responsible for their privacy practices, and we encourage you to read their privacy policies.
