10. Marketing and profiling

Legitimate interest
When you interact with Giant Leap Technologies AS e.g. by visiting our web pages, downloading content, attending webinars, and as part of using our services, Giant Leap Technologies AS will be processing your personal data based on legitimate interest. One of our legitimate interests is the processing of personal data for direct marketing purposes. 

Giant Leap Technologies AS uses your personal data to provide relevant content to you through direct marketing on social media platforms and emails, webpages or in a service, based on your preferences. The personal data processed are aggregated details about you such as IP address, interests (where you have clicked, etc.), username and device. This is done through technologies like cookies and is called profiling. Giant Leap Technologies AS will also be able to combine this information with information about the customer relationship we may have with your company.

The purpose of the profiling is to deliver customized marketing to you, improve your user experience with our services / websites and deliver products that our customers are satisfied with.
