Privacy Policy

Overview

YieldNav (operated by NorwegianSpark SA, org.nr. 834 984 172) is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Norwegian personopplysningsloven.

We never sell or rent your personal data. Analytics cookies, affiliate tracking tags and Google advertising are only enabled if you choose Accept in our cookie banner. We collect minimal data and use it only to improve our service and comply with legal obligations.

Data Controller

The data controller for the personal data we collect is:

What Information We Collect

• Usage Data: When you visit YieldNav, we automatically collect information about your device and browsing activity (IP address, browser type, pages visited, time spent, referral source). This is done via Google Analytics 4.
• Cookies: Your cookie choice is stored in your browser's local storage. Google Analytics 4 runs in Google Consent Mode: until you choose Accept, it works without cookies and sends only cookieless measurements; after you choose Accept, it sets analytics cookies. The Impact and Partnerize affiliate tags and Google advertising load only after you choose Accept. If you choose Reject, none of these cookies are set.
• Contact Information: If you send us a message via the contact form, we collect your name, email address, and message content. These are used solely to respond to your inquiry.
• Affiliate Clicks: Partner links normally pass through our own /go/ redirect. We count clicks on those links in Google Analytics (which link was clicked and where it sat on the page), and the link carries a tracking reference so the affiliate network can credit the referral to us. When you arrive on the external platform, it and the affiliate network may collect data about you and set their own cookies. We do not track your activity after you leave our site. Please refer to the relevant platform's privacy policy.

Legal Basis (GDPR Art. 6)

• •Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)): For non-essential cookies and analytics.
• •Legitimate Interest (Art. 6(1)(f)): To improve the website, detect fraud, and maintain security.
• •Legal Obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)): To comply with applicable legislation.

How We Use Your Information

• • Improve website performance and user experience
• • Respond to inquiries and feedback
• • Comply with legal obligations
• • Detect and prevent fraud and security incidents

Third-Party Services

• Hosting: The website is hosted on Cloudflare (Cloudflare Workers). Cloudflare processes technical request data, such as your IP address and browser type, to deliver the site and protect it against abuse.
• Google Analytics 4: Measures how the site is used (pages viewed, clicks on partner links, device type and approximate location). It runs without cookies until you choose Accept and sets analytics cookies only after you do.
• Resend: Processes emails from the contact form. Data is not shared beyond what is necessary to respond to the inquiry.
• Sentry: Error tracking to improve the website. Collects technical information about errors, not personally identifiable information.
• Affiliate Partners: After you choose Accept, we load the Impact and Partnerize tracking tags, which set identifiers used to credit referrals to us. When you click on a link to a partner, you are subject to their privacy policy.
• Google advertising: Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
