Cookies
By using our webpages, you consent to store cookies in your browser. You may refuse to consent to the storage of cookies, but this might cause the webpage not to function as normal.
The cookies are not linked to you as an individual. An IP address is defined as personal information because it can be traced back to a particular hardware and thus to an individual.
Powersim Software AS uses built in functions for Google Analytics that anonymizes the IP address before the information is saved. Therefore, the stored IP address cannot be used to identify a single user.
Google Analytics
We use the analysis tool Google Analytics on our website. When visiting our website, the IP address is registered. Google Analytics is set up so that the IP addresses are only processed in anonymised form. The information can thus only be processed in deidentified form, and so that it cannot be linked to individuals.
The purpose of our use of Google Analytics is to compile statistics which we use to develop and improve the information on the pages you visit. The statistics provide knowledge about the number of people who visit the various pages, how long the visit lasts, which websites the users come from, and which browsers and which devices (PC / mobile / tablet) are used.
Embedded content
Articles on this site may include embedded content (videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other sites behaves as if the visitor had visited the site from which the embedded content originates.
These sites may collect information about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking systems and monitor what you do through this embedded content.
Personal information collection
All personal information collected by Powersim Software is done so exclusively with your consent, by means of forms on our website, email received from you, or by telephone. No personal information is collected automatically.
Use of your personal information
The personal information collected is only used by Powersim Software’s staff for the purposes defined at the time of the collection or a use that complies with these purposes. We do not share your information with any third parties.
We use your personal information to appropriately process your requests and present you with the information you need.
If you have granted us the permission to do so, we might use your personal information to send you newsletters, with the intent of offering you the best service possible.
At all times, the sender of an email prepared by Powersim Software is easily identifiable and reachable, via email or phone.
Sharing of your personal information
We will not, under any circumstances, share your personal information with other individuals or organizations without your permission, including public organizations, corporations, or individuals, except when applicable by law. We do not sell, communicate, or divulge your information to any mailing lists.
The only exception is if the law or a court order compels us to. We will share your information with government agencies if they need or request it.
