Data Categories, Data Sources and Retention Policies for DOB

  • our partners, i.e., the stores or services from which you make a purchase

Processing Purposes for DOB

The majority of Telenor Digital’s data processing to provide Direct Operator Billing is essential to provide the functionality that users request (such as the processing of payment transactions or providing refunds to users). Such data processing therefore is necessary to deliver the DOB services that we have committed to.

Some supporting data processing is beneficial to the provision of our services, while not an integral part of it, such as developing new features or measuring the performance of existing features to further improve the product. In that case, that data processing serves the legitimate interests – as listed below – of Telenor Digital or other members of Telenor Group.

For some specific data processing Telenor Digital will ask your prior explicit consent.

 

Processing Purposes in Detail:

Processing Purpose

Service Provision

Customer Support

Assisting users with demands and requests that they may have, and helping them to solve potential issues.

Legitimate Interest:

Details

To improve our customer service.

Telenor Digital is committed to providing users with quick, effective and convenient assistance, should they encounter an issue. Quality assurance of customer service is essential to improving processes and providing the help that is needed.

To maintain data security.

To maintain both the integrity and confidentiality of user data and the reliability of services is a key objective of Telenor Digital. Therefore, measures are taken to recognise events that indicate an attack or fraudulent attempts to access or alter data. Log-files documenting such attempts are kept, which are accessible only to a minimal number of employees and only on documented exceptional circumstances. This is to investigate security incidents and close potential security gaps.

To improve customer experience.

To ensure an effective presentation of websites and apps, and to facilitate troubleshooting and easy accessibility, Telenor Digital needs to understand by which means services are accessed (such as device types, operating systems, browser type), and where potential issues with the user interface occur.

To improve our performance.

Understanding how our service is used across different markets and over time in order to optimise it accordingly, is a basic interest of Telenor Digital. In many – but not all – cases, this data will be aggregated. Such aggregated statistics do not include information that can personally identify a user. In other cases, numeric indexes are used to distinguish between different users without concretely identifying them.

To integrate and interlink our services within the Telenor Group.

Telenor Digital provides centralised services to other members of Telenor Group, which is why your mobile operator will exchange information with us for administrative purposes. This includes information on the performance of our services to improve integration or supporting internal reporting. Where we process data for this purpose, this is performed at an aggregate, depersonalised level.

Data Transfers

There are two basic setups in which Telenor Digital transfers personal data to partners or external vendors:

  • Network Operator: We integrate and collaborate with other network operators, for example, Telenor companies. These activities require data transfers to or from your mobile service provider or any other provider you have chosen for your mobile connection.
  • Partners: In order to provide this service, we integrate our own services with partners outside Telenor Group. In such a case, each party is responsible for their part of the data processing as a data controller. An example of where this is the case is when you make a purchase from one of our partner app stores.
  • External vendors: We use external vendors to deliver, improve and maintain our services. These vendors are data processors to Telenor Digital, which means they are legally and contractually obligated to follow our instructions, maintain the data securely, delete data upon request, and so forth.

Finally, if Telenor Digital decides to sell, buy, merge or otherwise re-organise its business, it will conduct the necessary data transfers.

Third-Country Data Transfers

There are specific setups, in which Telenor Digital transfers data to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA)/European Union (EU). Such transfer occurs

  • when a user’s country of residence is outside EU/EEA, the user is a subscriber to the local mobile network operator and Telenor Digital services are offered with the subscription; or
  • when we use processing capacities of a vendor based outside EU/EEA.

Where applicable, Telenor Digital transfers personal data to the United States on the basis of the “Privacy Shield”. For all other data transfers to third-country, not pre-approved by the EU as having an adequate level of protection, Telenor Digital enters into standard data protection clauses adopted by the European Commission (“EU Model Clauses”)

User Rights

You have certain rights in relation to the personal information that we, Telenor Digital, hold about you in relation to the DOB service. We have in place measures and processes to enable you to exercise your rights and ensure that we can fulfil your requests concerning the personal data that we hold about you. The rights available to you depend on our reason for processing your information.

  • Right to withdraw consent: Where you have previously given consent for us to process your personal data, you can withdraw that consent any time. Contact our customer service team to adjust your privacy settings.
  • Right to access your information: You can ask for more detail regarding the data we collect about you and how we process it. Contact our customer service team to request a report that reflects what personal information we hold about you. Our customer service team will handle your request and answer your questions.
  • Right to rectification: You can request that we correct any incorrect personal data which we are processing. For most of our services, the simplest way of achieving this is through updating your user profile yourself. You may also get in touch with our customer service.
  • Right to object: When we process your personal data on the legal basis of legitimate interest, as discussed below, you have the right to object to such processing. You may contact our customer service team directly.
  • Right to erasure: You can request that we erase the personal information we hold about you. This kind of request must meet certain criteria.
  • Right to restrict processing: In certain cases, you may request that we cease processing of your personal data for certain purposes. For instance, you might claim that our use of your data is unlawful, but you may ask us to restrict the processing of data, as opposed to deleting it.
  • Right to portability: You can request the personal data concerning you, which you have provided us with and that we are processing based on your consent or in order to perform a contract with you, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, provided that the data is processed using automated means. This includes a direct transfer to another controller, where technically feasible. You can submit a request to download your data using the Review section of our Privacy page. Customer Service will provide access to this data in a machine-readable format via our file-sharing solution. Please note that this right does not apply to processing necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller. We also will not be able to extend this right in a way that would adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

Changes to the Privacy Notice

We may update this Privacy Notice from time to time, as our data processing may change and we would like to keep you informed.

Where we think it is appropriate, and in the event that we make material changes to our privacy notice, we will also notify you that our privacy notice has been updated. By continuing to use our services after that period you confirm your continuing acceptance of this privacy notice.

How can I contact Telenor Digital regarding my privacy rights?

If you have privacy-related questions or concerns, the quickest way to get in touch is the Your Rights section of our Privacy service (if you have a Telenor ID). Customer Service will respond to your request via email as soon as possible, and refer you to the Data Protection Officer.
