Privacy Policy

Nordic Life Guide provides independent guides, comparison resources and planning tools about visiting, moving to, studying in, working in and living across the Nordic region. This Privacy Policy applies to information processed when you use this website.

By using Nordic Life Guide, you acknowledge the practices described here. If you do not agree with this policy, you should stop using the website.

Depending on how you use the site, we may receive limited categories of information such as:

• technical information such as browser type, device type, operating system and approximate geographic region;
• usage information such as pages viewed, time on page, navigation paths and referring websites;
• information you voluntarily provide when contacting us; and
• cookie or similar identifier information where analytics or advertising services are enabled.

We do not ask visitors to create an account to use the public guides and tools currently available on Nordic Life Guide.

Most calculators, quizzes and planning tools are designed to work directly in your browser. Their inputs are intended for general planning and should not be treated as an application, booking, immigration filing, legal submission, financial transaction or official government form.

Do not enter passwords, passport numbers, national identification numbers, payment-card information, medical records or other sensitive personal information into a calculator, quiz or site-search field.

Nordic Life Guide may use Google Analytics or similar measurement services to understand how visitors find and use the website. These services may process information such as page paths, device and browser information, approximate location, referral source, interactions and other usage data in accordance with their own policies and our configuration.

We use this information to understand site performance, improve navigation, identify useful content and diagnose technical issues. We do not receive the contents of private conversations you may have on third-party websites that referred you to Nordic Life Guide.

Cookies are small files or identifiers that may be stored on your device. Nordic Life Guide and service providers used by the site may use cookies or similar technologies for essential site functions, analytics, measurement, fraud prevention, advertising or preference management.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how certain website features or third-party services work.

Nordic Life Guide uses Journey by Mediavine and may use Google and other programmatic advertising partners to serve, measure and optimize advertising. These providers may use cookies, device or browser identifiers, IP-derived location, ad interactions and similar technologies for functions such as ad delivery, frequency management, measurement, fraud prevention and, where permitted, personalized advertising.

Advertising processing is subject to applicable law, consent requirements and the privacy terms of the relevant provider. The advertising sellers and intermediaries currently authorized for this domain are published in our ads.txt file.

Google explains how it uses information from sites and apps that use its services in its privacy and advertising documentation. You may also be able to manage advertising personalization through your Google account, browser or device privacy settings and any consent controls presented on the site.

Our guides frequently link to government agencies, universities, transport operators, statistics offices and other external websites. Clicking an external link takes you to a website that operates under its own privacy policy and terms. Nordic Life Guide is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites.

We may use information collected through the site to:

• operate, maintain and secure Nordic Life Guide;
• measure traffic and understand how content and tools are used;
• improve guides, navigation, tools and site performance;
• respond to messages or enquiries you send us;
• detect abuse, security incidents or technical problems; and
• support advertising or measurement where those services are enabled.

We do not sell personal information to advertisers. Information may be processed by service providers that help operate, secure, measure or monetize the website, subject to their contractual terms and privacy obligations. We may also disclose information when required by law, legal process or to protect the security and rights of the website, its users or others.

Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, subject to the retention settings of the services we use and any legal obligations. We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the website, but no method of transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Depending on where you live, privacy law may give you rights regarding personal information, including rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction or objection to certain processing. You may also have the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

You can also use browser settings and available consent or advertising controls to limit cookies and personalized advertising. Requests concerning information held directly by Nordic Life Guide can be sent using the contact details below.

Nordic Life Guide is a general-audience information website and is not designed to collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information directly to us, please contact us so we can review the request.

Website infrastructure and service providers may process information in countries other than the country where you live. Privacy protections and legal requirements can differ between jurisdictions. Service providers are responsible for handling data in accordance with their applicable legal obligations and contractual commitments.

We may update this policy when our website, technology, legal requirements or third-party services change. The revised policy will be posted on this page with an updated date. Material changes may also be highlighted elsewhere on the site when appropriate.
