Our processing of personal data

Access Control

In order to provide tenant’s employees with access to common areas and rented premises, personal access cards must be issued.  In order to issue and activate the card, personal information such as name, photo, contact information, name of employer and behaviour patterns (use of the access card) are registered and processed.

Video Surveillance

Some of our properties are equipped with video surveillance facilities.  This is to prevent, detect and investigate any crimes that may occur.  Photos and recordings are stored for a period of 7 days and then deleted.  Photos and videos can be shared with the police in connection with criminal cases. There are signs on the exterior of those properties where video surveillance is in use.

We mainly collect personal information from you directly.  For example, via enquiries from you, your activity on our website etc, or where we have received your information via your employer because you are designated as a contact person for one of our partners.  However, in some cases, Smedvig also obtains information from third parties.  These can be sources from publicly available registers or from the authorities.  We will try to notify you of such a collection as soon as we can, unless the collection of the information is required by law, notification is impossible or very difficult, or it is obvious that we have collected such information about you.

Test environment

We aim to offer secure, stable and user-friendly IT systems that contain correct data.  We test and develop our IT solutions in a separate test environment.  We strive for anonymisation or pseudonymisation, but in some cases it may be necessary for us to use real personal information for testing purposes.  We ensure satisfactory information security and real personal information is deleted or anonymised after testing.
