Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer when you download a webpage. Mikromarc uses cookies in the following services:
  • Micromarc WebSearch
  • Mikromarc Mobile Web
  • Micromarc+ for staff
Cookies are used to improve the user experience, including remembering login information. Axiell Sverige AB does not use cookies to generate statistics, and we cannot track your use of Mikromarc as an individual.

There are two types of cookies: one type stores a file on the user's computer. This file is normally used to remember the user's preferences and settings between sessions. The other type is a temporary file that's only saved during active use, and will be deleted as soon as the browser window closes. No personal information about the user is saved. Both types of cookies are used to save the user's language options, and to protect against data attacks.

Cookies are not lawful unless the user is informed of the purpose of the storage and the manner in which the information is used, and has accepted this. By continuing to use Mikromarc, you agree that cookies are stored on your computer. Most browser programs agree to save cookies by default.

If you do not agree to the use of cookies, cookies may be disabled in the browser settings. However, ignoring cookies may cause parts of Mikromarc not to work properly.

Lawfulness of processing

The main basis for processing personal data is contained in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Article 6 1 (a) "the data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes." You should have given your consent when you were registered as a borrower.

In some cases, the storage is also based on GDPR Article 6 1 (c) "processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject." Libraries are required to collect statistics about the use of the library. These statistics can not be identified at a personal level, and are handed over to the National Library.

Exchange of personal data

In Norway, address information and some other personal data are exchanged with the National Borrower Register, a database that makes it possible to use the same borrower card in many different Norwegian libraries. Only information about borrowers who have given explicit consent to be registered in the National Borrower Register is exchanged. No data is exchanged about loans, reservations, debts, blockages and other details about the relationship between the borrower and the individual library.

The National Library and library system suppliers in Norway are responsible for the National Borrower Register, and data processing agreements exists between the parties.

View and delete personal data

You may require access to your personal data, and you may also require the data to be corrected or deleted within a month. Please note that storage of some data is necessary in order for you to be a borrower at the library. The menu item Member gives access to almost all data the library system stores about you. Contact your library if you want enhanced access to personal data, or wish to correct or delete personal data.
