When visiting our website skagenstrand.dk or skagenvandrefestival.dk, we will automatically collect information about you and your use of our website, such as type of browser used, search terms you’ve used on the website, your IP address, your network location and information about your computer. We do this for optimizing the user experience of our website and the website’s function. In addition, this is also useful for the targeted marketing with the purpose of providing you with the relevant offers, including retargeting through Facebook and Google.

The information provided to us can be entrusted to external partners who process the information on our behalf. We use such external partners for technical operations and website improvements, booking newsletters, targeted marketing, including retargeting, as well as for your review of our business. These companies are data processors and their assignment is to process the data we are responsible for by following our instructions. The data processors are not entitled to use such information for any purpose other than for the fulfilment of their agreement with us, and are confidential about these. We have entered into written data processing agreements with all data processing companies responsible for processing the personal data on our behalf.
