Terminology

• Personal Information: Any information that can be directly or indirectly linked to you as an individual.
• Location Data: All information indicating the geographical position of your device using the internet.
• Anonymized Information: Information from which elements enabling identification have been removed.
• Processing of Personal Information: Any use of personal information, including collection, storage, alteration, targeting, and deletion.
• Cookies: A small amount of data received by a browser from websites visited by the user, stored as a file on the user's hard disk/storage device.

Personal Information We Collect and Process

We store personal information such as name, email address, and phone number. Through marketing activities, we may use anonymized information such as gender, birthdate, residence, and your friends. We will never be able to retrieve the anonymized information and link it to individuals. Through some third parties, we may match our collected information about you with the third party's own information about you. For example, we can match our customer list with Schibsted's system and find individuals we both have in our lists.

When Do We Use Personal Information?

We use personal information in connection with:

Service Delivery: See the attached PDF for the privacy statement regarding the purchase of haircuts and products.

Marketing and Analysis: Through third parties such as Meta (Facebook/Instagram), Snapchat, Schibsted, and TikTok, we can handle anonymized data linked to your activity on cutters.no.

We use anonymized data to gain necessary insights for conducting marketing activities and improving the user experience. These activities include:

• Creating target groups for marketing activities, including removing our customers from our marketing where possible.
• Customizing marketing based on past activities and expected needs.
• Sending newsletters and other forms of direct marketing.
• Analyzing the market, customer experiences, and customer satisfaction.
• Customer Match: With some suppliers, currently Schibsted, Meta, Snapchat, and TikTok, we can match our collected customer data with the third party's user lists. In practice, we compare lists of profiles (customers) with each other, with the purpose of finding the profiles we both have in our systems. In this process, we mainly use names, phone numbers, and email addresses. If your information is not with the supplier, the information will not be stored with them. The information is transmitted and matched encrypted, making it impossible for us or the supplier to see specific information about you. This is done to remove you from marketing tailored to new customers, which would be perceived as noise and irrelevant to you as an existing customer.

To send newsletters and information via email/SMS, we need you to provide us with information about your phone number and email.

Legal Basis, Storage, and Deletion

We believe we have a legitimate interest in conducting marketing and analysis using customer matching and cookies, and that our interest outweighs any potential disadvantages the processing may have for you. Information about customer matches is deleted immediately after the match is made and no later than within 30 days.
