No cookies
vsv.is uses no cookies for analytics or marketing. That is why there is no cookie banner. The only cookie belongs to VSV staff who sign in to edit the site. It keeps them signed in and is removed when they sign out.
Visitor statistics
We count visits with Vercel Web Analytics: which pages are viewed, from which country, on what kind of device and browser, and where visitors come from. The tool uses no cookies, does not store IP addresses and cannot follow visitors from one day to the next or across websites. We only see totals.
Hosting
The site is hosted by Vercel Inc. Like any web server, Vercel records technical details of each request, such as IP address and time, to keep the site running and to prevent abuse. These details are kept for 30 days at most and not used for anything else. Vercel is a US company certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. The site's news and images are stored with Supabase in a data centre in Paris.
Videos
Some videos in our news are hosted on YouTube. Nothing is loaded from YouTube until you press play. The YouTube player then opens in privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com), and Google's privacy policy applies to it.
Staff directory
The site lists names, job titles, work phone numbers, work email addresses and photos of some staff so customers can reach the right person. Staff who want their details changed or a photo removed can contact VSV's HR.
The site has no forms. Email you send to addresses shown on the site goes to VSV's mail system and is handled like any other email to the company.
Your rights
You have the right to know what personal data VSV holds about you and to have it corrected or deleted. Contact us at abendingar@vsv.is. We will ask you to confirm your identity and reply within 30 days. You can also contact the Icelandic Data Protection Authority at personuvernd.is.
