GeoNord AS Privacy Policy

GeoNord AS is the owner of the RigelMap application ("Service"). This privacy policy informs you about our principles regarding the collection, use, disclosure, and protection of your personal data when using our Service, as well as your rights related to this data.

By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. All operations related to the processing of personal data comply with GDPR and other applicable data protection regulations.

Collection and Use of Information

We collect various types of information for different purposes to provide and improve our Services.

Legal Basis for Data Processing

GeoNord AS processes personal data based on:

Consent: If you have given your consent to process your data for a specific purpose.
Contract: If processing is necessary to fulfill a contract to which you are a party.
Legal Obligation: If processing is necessary to meet legal requirements.
Legitimate Interest: If processing is necessary for our legitimate interests, such as improving the Service, as long as it does not infringe on your rights and freedoms.

Types of Data Collected

Personal Data

We may ask you to provide us with certain personal data that can be used to contact or identify you ("Personal Data"). Personal Data includes:

Username and password for our Service
Email address
Name and surname (if required)
Geographic location
Usage data and activity within the application
Cookies and usage data

Optional Advanced Device Integration (i100 LiDAR)

RigelMap supports optional integration with external GNSS/LiDAR hardware, including the i100 receiver ("Advanced device integration"). This integration is optional and is only used if you choose to connect and use the i100 feature.

If you enable and use the i100 feature, the application may generate and manage non-media surveying project files related to LiDAR capture (for example, scan projects, point-cloud outputs, and related metadata) stored on your device for processing and export.

To support the i100 workflow, RigelMap may request Android "All files access" (MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE). This permission is requested only when you choose to use the i100 feature and is used only to create, read, and manage i100 project folders and non-media scan files required by the i100 SDK's fixed directory structure. If you do not use the i100 feature, you do not need to enable this access.

You can enable or revoke this permission at any time in your device settings. If revoked, the i100 feature may not function correctly, but other app functionality can still be used.

IP address, browser type, browser version
Pages of our Service you visit, time and date of your visit, time spent on those pages

Required by law enforcement

Sub-processors and Third Parties

GeoNord AS uses external providers such as Microsoft and OriOne, based in Poland, to support the provision of the Service. Each of these providers acts as a data processor, meaning they process personal data on our behalf. We ensure that every subcontractor complies with GDPR requirements.

When you use optional advanced device integrations (such as i100 LiDAR), the application may also use a third-party hardware SDK provided by the device manufacturer solely to enable device communication and scanning workflows.
