    Privacy Policy

    Last updated: March 10, 2026

    This privacy policy explains how fromaitochitta.com collects, uses, and protects your personal data in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Norwegian Personal Data Act (personopplysningsloven).

    1. Who is responsible for your data

    Org. no.: 834 777 452
    Kjell Tore Guttormsen
    Email: hello@fromaitochitta.com

    As the data controller, I am responsible for how your personal data is processed on this website.

    2. What data I collect and why

    Newsletter (MailPoet)

    When you subscribe to the newsletter, the following data is collected:

    • Email address (required)
    • Interest preferences (AI, Yoga, Tools, or Everything)
    • IP address and timestamp at the time of signup

    Purpose: To send you a weekly newsletter with curated content about AI and inner development, filtered by your selected interests.

    Legal basis: Your explicit consent (GDPR Article 6(1)(a)). You give consent by filling out the signup form and confirming via the double opt-in email.

    Retention: Your data is stored for as long as your subscription is active. When you unsubscribe, your data is deleted within 30 days.

    Every newsletter contains an unsubscribe link. You can withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

    Server logs

    When you visit this website, the web server automatically records:

    • IP address
    • Date and time of access
    • Pages visited
    • Browser type and operating system
    • Referrer URL

    Purpose: Ensuring the security and stability of the website. Detecting and preventing abuse.

    Legal basis: Legitimate interest (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)). The interest is maintaining a secure and functional website.

    Retention: Server logs are retained for 14 days on a rolling basis, then automatically overwritten.

    3. Cookies

    This website uses only technically necessary cookies required for WordPress to function. These include session cookies for the site administrator. No tracking cookies, analytics cookies, or marketing cookies are used.

    Since only strictly necessary cookies are used, no cookie consent banner is required under the Norwegian Electronic Communications Act (ekomloven) section 3-15.

    If this changes in the future (for example, through the addition of analytics or affiliate tracking), this policy will be updated and a cookie consent mechanism will be implemented.

    4. Third parties and data processors

    This website is hosted on servers operated by Hetzner Online GmbH, Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany. All data is stored within the EU. A data processing agreement (DPA) is in place in accordance with GDPR Article 28.
