Privacy policy

This privacy policy describes how Hermes collects and uses information about visitors to our sites. The policy contains information that you are entitled to have when information is gathered from our website, as well as general information about how we processes personal data. Through our CEO, Hermes is the data controller for the company’s processing of personal data. It is voluntary for those who visit the website to provide personal data in connection with services such as receiving newsletters and using the sharing and tip service. The basis for the processing is the consent of the user, unless otherwise specified.

This policy applies to our website address: https://www.hermesas.no

The personal data we collect and why we collect it

Hermes only collects personal date that you voluntarily provide and which has a function that, for example, allows us to contact you. This data is necessary in order to send you answers to e.g. an application for a position with us and/or to contact you regarding your ongoing relationship as a customer. The information you provide to us is treated confidentially and we do not disclose your information to third parties. We are required by Norwegian law to maintain accounts information, including order confirmations, invoices, credit notes, etc. that have been issued.

Contact forms

For those wishing to apply for a job with Hermes, we have a contact form here: https://www.hermesas.no/en/contact/apply-for-work/. This requires that you provide some personal details in order for us to consider you as a job seeker and to contact you afterwards. Your CV and application will be stored in our candidate database for 6 months. After this, your CV and application will be deleted. You can also contact us at any time before the 6-month period has passed and have this information deleted. We guarantee that personal data will not be used in any other context or by any other company, and only as a basis for recruitment for Hermes.

Traffic analysis

As an important part of our efforts to create a user-friendly website, we study the user patterns of those who visit the site. To analyse the information, we use Google Analytics.

An IP address is defined as personal data because it can be traced back to a specific piece of hardware and thus to an individual. Hermes anonymizes the user’s IP address before the information is stored and processed by Google. Thus, this cannot be used to identify the individual user.

Google Analytics uses cookies (small text files that the site stores on the user’s computer). These provide information about the individual user’s actions online. Examples of what the statistics tell us are: how many people visit different pages, how long the visit lasts, which websites the users come from and which browsers are used.

Cookie data is automatically deleted 14 months after registration. You can manage the use of cookies yourself. 

The information collected by Google Analytics is stored on Google’s servers in the USA. The information received is subject to Google’s privacy policy.

Embedded content from other websites

Items on this page may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if the visitor had visited the site from which the embedded content originated.

These websites may gather information about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking systems, and use this embedded content to monitor what you do. This also includes tracking your actions through the embedded content if you have an account and are logged into the site.

How long do we keep information about you?

If you use our contact form to apply for a job at Hermes, your CV and application will be stored in our candidate database for 6 months. After this, your CV and application will be deleted. You can also contact us at any time before the 6-month period has passed and have this information deleted. We guarantee that personal data will not be used in any other context or by any other company, and only as a basis for recruitment for Hermes.
