GDPR - ClearNord

ClearNord's Approach to Data Protection

ClearNord AS is committed to protecting personal data and complying with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as implemented in Norway through the EEA Agreement.

Data protection is built into ClearNord's design decisions from the outset. Even at the pre-operations stage, ClearNord follows the principles of lawfulness, fairness, transparency, data minimization, and accountability.

GDPR Scope

At launch, ClearNord's website functions as an informational landing page. Operational translation services, document uploads, and user accounts are not yet available.

At this stage:

ClearNord acts as a data controller for limited personal data processed through the website
No customer documents or translation content are processed
No automated decision-making or profiling takes place

Future services will be introduced only subject to appropriate legal, technical, and organizational safeguards.

GDPR Principles

ClearNord aligns its data protection practices with the core GDPR principles:

Lawfulness, fairness, and transparency
Purpose limitation
Data minimization
Accuracy
Storage limitation
Integrity and confidentiality
Accountability

These principles guide both current website operations and future service development.

Roles and Responsibilities

When ClearNord launches operational services:

ClearNord may act as a data processor on behalf of public-sector or organizational clients
In some contexts, ClearNord may act as a data controller, depending on the service model

Roles will be clearly defined in contractual agreements, including Data Processing Agreements, prior to processing any customer data.

Security and Risk Management

ClearNord applies a risk-based approach to information security and data protection.

Measures are designed to:

Prevent unauthorized access or disclosure
Maintain confidentiality and integrity
Support auditability and procurement requirements

Technical and organizational measures will evolve as services are launched and scaled.

Transparency and Data Subject Rights

ClearNord respects the rights of individuals under the GDPR.

Details on how personal data is processed, retained, and protected are provided in ClearNord's Privacy Policy.

Guidance issued by Datatilsynet
EEA-wide GDPR requirements

Documentation related to data protection, security, and compliance will be made available to customers as part of formal procurement or onboarding processes.

Future Services and Compliance

As ClearNord introduces operational translation and language-technology services, this page will be updated to reflect:

Expanded data processing activities
Applicable Data Processing Agreements
Additional privacy and security safeguards

ClearNord will not process customer data without appropriate legal and contractual foundations.
