Consent
We may rely on your consent for:
optional analytics or advertising cookies;
newsletters and direct marketing;
certain media submissions;

Comments
When visitors leave comments on the website, we collect:
the information entered in the comments form;
the visitor’s IP address; and
the browser user-agent string.
This information may be used to support comment moderation, website security and spam detection.
An anonymised string generated from your email address, sometimes called a hash, may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine whether you use that service.
After your comment has been approved, your Gravatar profile picture may be visible publicly alongside your comment.
Comments and associated profile information may therefore become publicly accessible. Do not include confidential or sensitive information in a public comment.
Media Uploads
When uploading images or other media to the website, you should avoid files containing embedded location information, including EXIF GPS data.
Visitors may be able to download publicly available images and extract location information embedded in those files.
You are responsible for ensuring that:
you have the right to upload the material;
the upload does not violate another person’s privacy;
necessary permissions have been obtained; and
unnecessary personal or location data have been removed.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small files stored on your device. We may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, maintain security, remember preferences, analyse usage and provide optional services.
Comment Cookies
When you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email address and website in cookies.
These cookies are used for convenience so you do not have to enter the same information each time you leave another comment. These cookies may remain for up to one year.
Login Cookies
When you visit the login page, a temporary cookie may be set to determine whether your browser accepts cookies.
This cookie contains no directly identifying personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.
When you log in, cookies may be used to save:
login information; and
screen-display preferences.
Login cookies normally last for two days. Screen-option cookies may last for one year.
When you select “Remember Me”, your login may remain active for up to two weeks.
Logging out removes the login cookies.
Publishing Cookies
When an authorised user edits or publishes an article, an additional cookie may be stored in the browser.
This cookie contains no personal data and only identifies the post that was edited. It normally expires after one day.
Essential and Non-Essential Cookies
Essential cookies may be used without consent where strictly necessary to provide a service requested by you, maintain security or enable core website functions.
Non-essential cookies, including certain analytics, advertising and tracking cookies, should only be activated after valid consent has been obtained where required by law.
You may manage or withdraw cookie consent through the website’s cookie settings, where available.
You may also configure your browser to block or delete cookies. Blocking essential cookies may prevent some website features from functioning properly.
Embedded Content From Other Websites
Articles and pages may include embedded content such as:
YouTube videos;
audio players;
social-media posts;
maps;
images;
articles;
livestreams; and
external widgets.
Embedded content from another website generally behaves as though you visited that external website directly.
The third-party provider may:
collect your IP address and device information;
place cookies;
use tracking technologies;
monitor your interaction with the embedded content;
associate your activity with an existing account; and
transfer personal data to countries outside Norway or the European Economic Area.
Where legally required, non-essential third-party content should not load until you have provided consent.
Third-party services operate under their own privacy policies and terms. RbnLiveTV is not responsible for the independent privacy practices of external platforms.
Newsletters and Marketing Communications
When you subscribe to a newsletter, we may process your name, email address, subscription status and communication preferences.
The legal basis will normally be your consent.
Every electronic marketing message should include an unsubscribe option. You may also withdraw consent by contacting us.
Service-related messages concerning your account, security or transactions are not marketing communications and may continue where necessary.
Accounts and Registered Users
When you register for an account, we may store information supplied in your user profile.
Registered users may generally:
view their personal information;
update their personal information;
request deletion of their information; and
manage certain communication preferences.
Users may not be able to change their username where this is restricted by WordPress or necessary for account integrity.
Website administrators may access and edit profile information where necessary for account administration, security, support or legal compliance.
You are responsible for keeping login credentials confidential and informing us promptly if you suspect unauthorised access.
Password Resets
When you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the password-reset email or associated security records.
This processing helps confirm and protect account activity.
Payments, Donations and Memberships
Where the website accepts payments, donations, subscriptions or memberships, personal data may be shared with authorised payment processors.
Information may include:
name;
email address;
billing address;
payment amount;
transaction reference;
membership or subscription level; and
fraud-prevention information.
Payment providers process payment information under their own privacy policies and security obligations.
We may retain transaction records where required for accounting, fraud prevention, contractual administration or legal compliance.
Who We Share Personal Data With
We may share personal data only where necessary and lawful, including with:
website hosting providers;
cloud-storage providers;
email and newsletter providers;
payment processors;
spam and security services;
analytics providers;
technical contractors;
professional advisers;
authorised staff and administrators;
regulatory authorities;
law-enforcement agencies; and
courts or other public bodies.
Service providers acting as processors are expected to process personal data only on documented instructions and to implement appropriate security measures.
We do not sell personal data.
We will not disclose personal data to advertisers for behavioural advertising without an appropriate legal basis and any required consent.
International Data Transfers
Some service providers, embedded platforms or technical systems may process personal data outside Norway or the European Economic Area.
Where personal data are transferred internationally, we will seek to use an approved transfer mechanism, which may include:
an adequacy decision;
European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses;
supplementary technical and organisational safeguards; or
another legally recognised transfer mechanism.
You may contact us for information about the safeguards applicable to a particular transfer.
How Long We Retain Personal Data
We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including legal, accounting, security and dispute-resolution requirements.
Comments
Comments and associated metadata may be retained indefinitely.
This enables the website to recognise and automatically approve follow-up comments instead of placing every comment in a moderation queue.
Registered Users
Profile information may be retained while an account remains active.
Following account closure, some records may be retained where necessary for:
legal compliance;
fraud prevention;
security;
dispute resolution; or
protection of legal rights.
Contact Enquiries
General enquiries may be retained for the period needed to respond and for a reasonable follow-up period.
Security Logs
Security, login and anti-spam records may be retained for a limited period based on operational and security requirements.
Financial Records
Transaction, donation and accounting records may be retained for the period required under applicable tax, accounting and financial laws.
When personal data are no longer required, they should be securely deleted or anonymised.
Your Data-Protection Rights
Subject to applicable conditions and exemptions, you may have the right to:
Right of Access
You may request confirmation of whether we process your personal data and obtain a copy of that data.
Right to Rectification
You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
Right to Erasure
You may request deletion of personal data where there is no lawful reason for continued processing.
This right does not apply where retention is necessary for legal compliance, public-interest purposes, freedom of expression, security or legal claims.
Right to Restriction
You may request that processing be limited in certain circumstances.
Right to Data Portability
Where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means, you may request personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
Right to Object
You may object to processing based on legitimate interests or public-interest grounds.
You may object at any time to personal data being used for direct marketing.
Right to Withdraw Consent
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw consent at any time.
Rights Relating to Automated Decisions
You may have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
RbnLiveTV does not intend to make significant decisions about users solely through automated processing unless appropriate legal conditions and safeguards apply.
Right to Complain
You have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority.
In Norway, the supervisory authority is:
Datatilsynet — Norwegian Data Protection Authority
You may also contact the supervisory authority in the European Economic Area country where you live, work or believe an infringement occurred.
How to Exercise Your Rights
To submit a privacy request, contact:
Please describe your request clearly and identify the account, comment, transaction or interaction concerned.
We may request reasonable information to verify your identity before disclosing, changing or deleting personal data.
We will respond within the period required by applicable law. Under the GDPR, this will normally be within one month, although the period may be extended for complex or numerous requests.
Requests are normally handled without charge. A reasonable fee may be charged, or a request may be refused, where it is manifestly unfounded or excessive, as permitted by law.
Children’s Privacy
The website is not intended to collect personal data unlawfully from children.
Where a service is specifically directed to children or young people, we will apply appropriate age-related safeguards and seek parental or guardian consent where required.
Parents or guardians who believe that a child has provided personal data without appropriate authorisation should contact us.
Data Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures intended to protect personal data against:
unauthorised access;
accidental loss;
misuse;
alteration;
unlawful disclosure; and
destruction.
Measures may include:
access controls;
secure passwords;
encryption where appropriate;
software updates;
backups;
malware and spam protection;
restricted administrative access; and
monitoring of suspicious activity.
No online service can guarantee absolute security. Users should take appropriate precautions when transmitting information over the internet.
Personal Data Breaches
Where a personal-data breach occurs, we will assess the risk to affected individuals.
Where legally required, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority and affected individuals within the applicable time limits.
External Links
The website may contain links to third-party websites.
RbnLiveTV does not control those websites and is not responsible for their privacy practices, content or security.
You should review the privacy policy of each external service before submitting personal data.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect:
changes in legal requirements;
changes to website services;
new technologies or providers;
changes to data-processing practices; or
security and organisational developments.
The updated version will be published on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
Material changes may also be communicated through the website, by email or through another appropriate notice.
