The company responsible for handling your personal data is nordvpn S.A. (PH F&F TOWER, 50th Street & 56th Street, Suite #32-D, Floor 32, Panama City, Republic of Panama). We are the "data controller" as specified under many privacy laws, like the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation or the United Kingdom's Data Protection Act 2018.

Please note that most of the data we process is anonymized and/or aggregated. As a result, we may not be able to identify you from that data, and privacy laws may not apply to it.

2.1. When you take the National Privacy Test

2.1.1. Purpose: To allow you to take the National Privacy Test and provide you with its score, as well as online security tips. For this purpose, we process your anonymized responses to questions in those four sections:

• Daily digital habits (e.g., How you respond when an app asks for permission to access your data?)

• Privacy awareness (e.g., Which of the passwords is the strongest?)

• Risk tolerance (e.g., What privacy issues should you consider when using AI to help with your work?)

• Profile (e.g., What is your gender? Country? Age? Education level? Industry of employment?)

2.1.2. Legal basis: The processing is based on the performance of a contract - specifically in accordance with the National Privacy Test Terms.

2.2. When we create and share reports

2.2.1. Purpose: To create and share the National Privacy Test reports. For this purpose, we use only aggregated anonymized responses to the National Privacy Test. This means that the reports are based on combined results and do not identify individual test participants.

2.2.2. Legal basis: The processing is based on our legitimate interest in creating and sharing reports with the journalists and the public.

2.3. When we communicate with you

2.3.1. Purpose: To respond to and resolve your inquiry.
