Privacy by design: the Nørd promise

While some businesses have grudgingly adapted to new privacy regulations, we built Nørd Studio with data protection as a founding principle

GDPR compliance isn't just a box we have to tick – it's woven into everything we do. From our first contact to the final delivery, your information is treated with the same care and respect we'd want for our own. Because here in the Nordics, privacy is more than just a legal requirement – it's a cultural value we genuinely share.

European data, European commitment – and no exceptions
‍
Your data never leaves Europe. We use Jottacloud, a Norwegian cloud storage service that allows us to securely store, synchronise, and share files across all our devices. Jottacloud operates with an unwavering focus on privacy and data protection under Norwegian and European laws. What's more, it uses 100% renewable energy and cools its servers with cold seawater – because protecting your data shouldn't come at the planet's expense. We've also chosen Vivaldi and Proton to ensure maximum privacy across our operations. This isn't just about legal compliance – it's about genuine commitment to data sovereignty and ethical business practices that align with Nordic values. When European providers offer superior privacy protection, why would we look elsewhere?

We're serious about secrets (even the boring ones!)
‍
‍Whether you're launching a revolutionary product or just updating your employee handbook, your content deserves absolute confidentiality. Our freelancers sign comprehensive NDAs, our secure workflows prevent unauthorised access, and we never, ever use your material as portfolio samples without explicit permission. Your competitive edge will stay sharp because your confidential information stays private – which is exactly as it should be.

Deliberately digital by default
‍
‍We prefer carefully vetted cloud solutions over traditional desktop tools – not just for convenience, but for enhanced security and minimal environmental impact too. Cloud-based workflows allow us to implement centralised security updates, maintain consistent privacy practices, and eliminate the carbon emissions associated with physical media shipping. Our digital-first approach means your projects are accessible to authorised team members only, with robust encryption and access controls protecting your content at every stage.

No sketchy software here
‍
‍We've carefully curated our tech stack with privacy as a non-negotiable priority. From secure project management platforms to encrypted file sharing, every tool we use has been vetted to ensure robust data protection. We regularly audit our digital ecosystem, implement security updates promptly, and keep up to date with emerging privacy concerns. As technology evolves, so do our safeguards – making sure your data is protected by measures that go above and beyond industry standards.

Content and design shouldn't warm up the planet
‍
Our commitment to sustainability extends to our digital footprint. Nørd Studio maintains a certified carbon-neutral website, offsetting all emissions associated with our online presence. We've optimised images, streamlined code, and chosen green hosting options to keep our energy consumption to a minimum. This isn't just good for the planet – it creates a faster, more efficient experience for our users too. When you work with Nørd Studio, you're choosing a partner who considers both privacy and environmental impact in everything we do.

We only ask for what we actually need
‍
‍You know those forms that make you tell your whole life story just to download a PDF? That's not what we do. We collect only the essential information we need to deliver an outstanding service – nothing more. No intrusive tracking, no sneaky cookies, no data harvesting for mysterious "marketing purposes". Our minimalist approach means less risk for you and less administrative hassle for us. It's a win-win situation that both respects your privacy and enhances our efficiency.

Clear policies communicated in clear language (we are also (copy)writers, after all!)
‍
Our privacy policy isn't written in cryptic legalese designed to confuse. As content experts, we've come up with straightforward, jargon-free explanations of how we handle your information. We'll tell you exactly what data we collect, why we need it, how we use it, and how long we keep it – in language you can actually understand without a law degree. Transparency isn't just about what we tell you – it's about how clearly we say it.

We're picky about our digital friends
‍
‍Unlike businesses that share your data with countless unknown vendors, we rely on a select circle of trusted partners – each vetted to verify their own privacy practices and bound by strict data processing agreements. We regularly review these relationships to make sure they still meet our exacting standards. Your information isn't currency to be traded – it's a precious commodity, and looking after it is a responsibility we take seriously.

Nordic by nature, protective on principle
‍
‍Based in the heart of Scandinavia – a region famous for pioneering digital rights – we apply European privacy standards to all our operations, regardless of our customer's location. Even when working with partners outside the EU, we maintain our rigorous data protection practices without compromise. In a world where privacy is increasingly viewed as optional, we're proudly standing up for values that put people before profits.
