Norwegian Saga, run by Even Svendsen, Hestestien 7, 1555 Son, Norway. Email hello@norwegiansaga.no.
This policy covers the app at app.norwegiansaga.no, and the phone apps when they arrive. The website and private lessons are covered separately in the main privacy policy.
Using the app needs a free account, so your progress can follow you between devices rather than living on one of them. The recordings are fetched from our storage as you play them. If you switch on English read aloud, your device's own voice does the reading; some browsers use an online voice for that, which is between you and your browser.
| What | Why | Our legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| Your email address and a scrambled version of your password | So you can sign in and get your progress back | Our contract with you |
| The stars you give each sentence, and when | Your review list, your Stats and your Badges are built from these | Our contract with you |
| Which islands you have opened | To show you where you left off | Our contract with you |
| Your saved sentences and the sagas you keep them in | So your saved sentences follow you between devices | Our contract with you |
| A username and a points total | The leaderboard — see section 4 | Our contract with you |
| Which in-app messages you have read | So the same message does not keep appearing as new | Legitimate interest |
| Whether you ticked the newsletter box | To send it, if you asked for it | Your consent |
We never sell your data and never share it for anyone else's marketing.
One supplier handles it on our behalf: Supabase, which provides the database and the sign-in system. They store what section 2 lists, on our instructions, under a data processing agreement. Where servers sit outside Europe, the transfer is covered by the standard legal protections the EU requires.
If you buy App Pro, the payment is taken by Stripe. You give your card details to Stripe, not to us — we never see them. Stripe tells us which account paid, the email on the payment, and until when Pro runs, and we keep that for as long as the accounting rules require.
We would also hand data over if the law required it, or to defend a legal claim.
The leaderboard shows learners ranked by points. Other people see a username and a number — never your email address and never your real name, unless you choose a username that is your name.
You get a generated username like learner_41624 when you sign up, and you can change it on the Account screen. Your points are worked out on your own device from the stars you have given, and sent up so the board can be ordered.
If you would rather not appear at all, email us and we will take you off it. Nothing else in the app stops working.
| What | How long |
|---|---|
| Everything tied to your account | Until you delete the account |
| After you delete the account | Gone immediately — see section 6 |
| Anything stored only on your device | Until you log out, clear the browser's site data, or delete the app |
We do not keep a shadow copy of a deleted account. Backups taken before the deletion roll out of the cycle within 30 days.
To delete everything: open the app, go to Account, scroll down and tap Delete account. It removes your sign-in, your stars, your saved sentences and your place on the leaderboard. It cannot be undone and we cannot get it back for you.
You can also ask us to:
Email hello@norwegiansaga.no. It is free and we answer within 30 days.
The app is built for adults and older teenagers. We do not knowingly collect anything from a child under 13. If you believe we have, tell us and it will be deleted.
If we change what the app collects, this page changes with it and the date at the top moves. Anything that materially affects you will also arrive as a message in the app.
Unhappy about something? Tell us first — hello@norwegiansaga.no. You can also complain to the Norwegian Data Protection Authority, Datatilsynet (Postboks 458 Sentrum, 0105 Oslo), or to the equivalent authority where you live.
