NOx Fund, such as name, telephone number, e-mail, position, role, employer, and e-mail communication to:

The processing of information is based on our legitimate interest as part of the efforts to promote the purpose of the NOx Fund. We store and disclose information if we have a legal obligation to do so, for example under the Norwegian Bookkeeping Act and the Taxes Management Act.
The managing director of the affiliated company must provide us with contact information if the company wants to use the NOx Fund's services, but it is voluntary for other contact persons if they want to give us personal information. If we collect personal information from others, it will mainly apply to name, telephone number, e-mail, position, and employer. The source of such information could be an employer or an external consultant operating on behalf of the company.
We will delete the information if we become aware that the contact person ceases to be a contact person. If five years have passed without the company having used the NOx Fund's services, we will delete the contact person. However, we will retain the information for a longer period if we believe it may be needed, for example, to document our business or the contact we have had.
For persons registered in connection with application for grants for NOx reducing measures, fleet renewal, measurement, and service of SCR systems we refer to the Terms of Use in our application portal.
