Privacy Policy

Last updated: 18 July 2026 · noma-copenhagen.icu · Foraging Journal

This Privacy Policy explains how Foraging Journal (“we”, “our”, “the site”), published at noma-copenhagen.icu, collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you visit our website. We publish editorial content about New Nordic cuisine, foraging culture, and Copenhagen food culture. Please read this policy carefully.

We process personal data in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) and applicable national data-protection law.

1. Data Controller

The data controller for this website is the operator of Foraging Journal at noma-copenhagen.icu. For privacy requests, contact us at [email protected]. We aim to respond within 30 days.

2. What Data We Collect

2.1 Data collected automatically

When you visit the site, our hosting provider and standard web servers may automatically record technical data such as:

• IP address (possibly truncated or anonymised);
• Browser type and version, device type, and operating system;
• Date and time of access, pages viewed, and referring URL;
• Approximate location derived from IP (country or region level).

This information is used for security, troubleshooting, and aggregated readership statistics. Legal basis: legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) in operating a secure and useful website.

2.2 Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and local storage as follows:

• Strictly necessary — required for basic functions, including storing your cookie preference in localStorage under the key fj_cookie_consent.
• Analytics (optional) — if you accept optional cookies, we may use anonymised analytics to understand aggregate traffic (pages visited, approximate geography, referral source). These cookies are not set until you consent.
• Advertising / social (optional) — we may use advertising or measurement pixels (for example Meta Pixel) only if you accept optional cookies. Such tools may allow partners to process data under their own policies. You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing site data or contacting us.

2.3 Data you provide voluntarily

If you email us, we process the content of your message and your email address to respond. We do not operate a public booking or payment form. Legal basis: legitimate interests or steps prior to a contract at your request (Art. 6(1)(f) or 6(1)(b) GDPR), depending on the nature of the enquiry.

3. Purposes of Processing

• To provide and maintain the website and editorial content;
• To remember cookie preferences;
• To understand aggregated readership (with consent where required);
• To respond to correspondence;
• To protect the site against abuse and ensure information security;
• To comply with legal obligations.

4. Legal Bases (GDPR)

Depending on the activity, we rely on:

• Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) — optional analytics or advertising cookies;
• Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) — site security, necessary technical logs, responding to general enquiries;
• Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)) — where retention or disclosure is required by law.

5. Sharing of Data

We do not sell personal data. We may share limited data with:

• Hosting and infrastructure providers acting as processors under appropriate agreements;
• Analytics or advertising partners, only if you have accepted optional cookies;
• Authorities when legally required.

Where data is transferred outside the European Economic Area, we use appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or an adequacy decision, where applicable.

6. Retention

Server logs are typically retained for a limited period (often 30–90 days) unless needed longer for security investigations. Cookie consent choices remain until you clear them. Email correspondence is retained as long as needed to complete the conversation and for legitimate archival or legal reasons, then deleted or anonymised.

7. Your Rights

Under GDPR, you may have the right to:

• Access your personal data;
• Rectify inaccurate data;
• Erase data (“right to be forgotten”) where applicable;
• Restrict or object to certain processing;
• Data portability where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means;
• Withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior lawful processing;
• Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in your EU/EEA member state.

To exercise these rights, email [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

8. Children

This site is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe we have done so, please contact us and we will delete the data promptly.

9. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Third-Party Links

Articles may link to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to read their policies.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acknowledgement of the updated policy where permitted by law.
