You have the right to request a copy of all personal data we hold about you. Contact us at support@mondosol.com and we will respond within 30 days.

If any data we hold is inaccurate, you can update it in your account settings or by contacting us. We will correct it without delay.

You may request deletion of your account and personal data. We will comply within 30 days unless we are legally required to retain certain records (e.g. financial transactions).

You can ask us to suspend processing of your data while we verify its accuracy or while a complaint is being investigated.

You can request your data in a machine-readable format (JSON or CSV) so you can transfer it to another service.

You have the right to object to processing based on our legitimate interests, including profiling. We will stop unless we have compelling grounds to continue.

You have the right to lodge a complaint with the Norwegian Data Protection Authority (Datatilsynet) at datatilsynet.no.

These cookies are necessary for the site to function. They keep you logged in and remember your language preferences. They cannot be disabled.

Only set if you have consented to marketing emails. You can withdraw consent and delete these cookies from your account settings at any time.

Data Retention

We retain personal data for as long as your account is active, plus a maximum of 3 years after account deletion for legal compliance. After that, all personal data is permanently deleted or anonymised. You can request deletion at any time.

Children’s Privacy

Account registration requires users to be at least 13 years old. If you are under 13, please have a parent or guardian create an account on your behalf. If we become aware that we have collected data from a child under 13 without verifiable parental consent, we will delete it promptly.
