Automagi

Privacy Policy

1. Who is responsible

The data controller for personal data processed in this app is the publisher of the app (the publisher). Automagi Ltd. NUF, organization number 995 844 869, is the publisher's technology provider and acts as a data processor on the publisher's behalf for the parts of the app that Automagi delivers.

This generic version of the privacy policy is used for apps that do not yet have their own page here. Contact the publisher of the app you are using for publisher-specific information.

2. What data is processed, and why

Analytics and usage data

The app collects native analytics data only if you have consented to this in the publisher's consent solution, which is shown in the app in the same way as on the publisher's website. If you have not made a choice in the consent solution, no native analytics data is collected. The app is set so that this is declined by default.

Advertising ID and tracking (iOS only)

On iOS, the app asks for permission to use the device's advertising ID and to track across other apps (Apple's “App Tracking Transparency”), once, right after onboarding and before the first content page is shown. You can change your answer at any time in your phone's settings. If you answer no, the app chooses “reject” for you in the publisher's consent solution when it is shown in the app, so that your no also applies to the publisher's web pages in the app. If you answer yes, the app makes no choice for you in the consent solution.

Notifications (push notifications)

Each time it starts, the app fetches a device token (a technical identifier for your installation of the app) from Firebase (Google), also before you have chosen any topics, and uses it to look up which topics the installation follows from Automagi's notification service. When you turn on notifications for a topic, the token is stored with Firebase for 90 days and linked to the topics you have chosen. Firebase is used to send the notification to the right device. The notification service keeps a technical request log with the IP address, the app's identification, and the address called, which contains the token. The log is kept in Google Cloud Logging for 30 days, the service's default retention period.

Error reporting

The app automatically sends technical error information (crash reports) to the Sentry service when the app fails or crashes, so that Automagi can fix errors. The app is set up to send Sentry's standard technical diagnostic information, which may include the device's IP address; the app does not link a name or email address to the error reports. Error reports are stored with Sentry for 90 days.

Audio and podcasts

If the app offers podcast playback, audio files may be retrieved from third-party providers such as Acast or Omny, depending on which providers the publisher has connected. If you have consented to analytics (see above), the app records that playback of a podcast episode was started in the app's built-in podcast player, with no information about which episode it was, no playing time, and no recording of pause or completion. Audio that the publisher's own web pages hand over for playback in the app (for example, articles read aloud) is not recorded by Automagi at all. The podcast provider (Acast and/or Omny) records the playback itself on its side, under its own terms.

Content in the web view (WebView) and cookies

Most of the content in the app is shown in a built-in web view that loads the publisher's own web pages directly. The publisher's web pages may set cookies and use their own analytics and advertising tools in the usual way. This is governed by the publisher's own privacy policy and consent solution on the website, not by Automagi. The app does, however, adapt the display: it adds its own scripts to the pages, for navigation, sharing, and measurement among other things, hides some elements that do not fit in the app, and allows third-party cookies as an ordinary browser does.

Camera, microphone, and location (only for apps with a news tip feature)

Whether this applies to the app you are using depends on whether the publisher has turned on the news tip feature (Nærtips). If the app has a feature for submitting news tips, you may be asked for access to the camera, microphone, and location in order to take a photo or video and optionally attach a location to the tip. These permissions are used only when you actively use the tip feature.

Sharing to social media

The app has built-in support for sharing content directly to Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, and TikTok. Sharing happens only when you actively choose to share something, and what data is then transferred to the chosen service is governed by that service's own terms and privacy policy.

Device information

The app contains a library that reads device information. It is used for three purposes: to adapt the display to tablet or phone, to fill in device details (app name, operating system, operating system version, device model, app version) in the email that is created if you choose to send feedback to Automagi, and to pass a coarse device type (tablet or phone, iOS or Android, not the device model) into the web page shown in the app, for use in the publisher's own traffic measurement on the website.

What the app does not process

Most of what you do in the app takes place on the publisher's own web pages, shown inside the app. Login, subscription, and payment take place between the publisher's own publishing system and the publisher's payment solution (paywall provider). The app shows these pages and does not receive login details, subscription status, or payment details from them.

Where the publisher has declared its own login page as part of the app, the login is kept inside the same built-in web view as the rest of the content, in the same way as in an ordinary browser. Login cookies are stored in the web view's ordinary, app-scoped cookie store on the device, shared between the app's various web views.

The app shows no purchase buttons or payment forms in the content itself. Purchase and subscription flows are opened outside the built-in web view.

3. Legal basis

4. Third parties that data may be shared with

5. Transfers to third countries

Google / Firebase, Sentry, and Expo are all US providers. Use of these services may mean that data is transferred to countries outside the EU/EEA.

Sentry is self-certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, and falls back on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses (SCCs) if the framework does not apply to a given transfer. Google has likewise joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, and otherwise uses standard contractual clauses (SCCs) as the transfer basis for Firebase. Expo complies with the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and uses standard contractual clauses (SCCs) where required.

6. Retention period

7. How to withdraw consent

Consent to analytics and other data processing governed by the GDPR is withdrawn in the consent solution on the publisher's website, the same solution that is shown in the app.

Advertising ID/tracking (iOS) is changed in your phone's system settings, under the app's permissions.

Notifications can be turned off per topic under Settings in the app, or all at once by tapping the button there that opens your phone's system settings for the app.

8. Your rights

Your rights include the right of access to your own data, rectification of inaccurate data, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and the right to object to the processing. You can also lodge a complaint with the Norwegian Data Protection Authority (Datatilsynet).

9. Contact

Contact the publisher of the app you are using with questions about controllership.

Automagi is a data processor, not a data controller. Inquiries about controllership itself should be directed to the contact above; Automagi can be contacted with questions about the technical delivery that the app itself is responsible for:
