Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 1, 2026 • Effective Globally

Sunnypatchzyppy Nordic Expeditions Ltd. ("Sunnypatchzyppy", "we", "our", or "us"), registered at Austurstræti 17, 101 Reykjavík, Iceland, operates sunnypatchzyppy.forum. This Privacy Policy sets forth our practices regarding the collection, storage, processing, and protection of personal and technical data gathered through our portal, field forums, and interactive expedition maps.

1. Data Collection & Telemetry Logging

We adhere to principles of data minimization under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR - Regulation (EU) 2016/679) and the Icelandic Data Protection Act (Lög um persónuvernd og vinnslu persónuupplýsinga nr. 90/2018). The data we collect includes:

Account & Forum Details: Usernames, contact email addresses, password hashes, and user-contributed expedition threads.
Technical & Geographic Data: IP addresses, browser user-agent tokens, anonymized telemetry requests for weather radar feeds, and voluntary GPS route check-ins.
Communications: Direct dispatch tickets submitted via our contact terminal.

2. Purpose and Legal Basis for Processing

We process personal data solely based on legitimate interest (maintaining portal security, moderating volcanic warning forums, and preventing automated cyber attacks), performance of a service contract (enabling registered user forum postings), and statutory compliance under Icelandic law.

3. Data Retention & Third-Party Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or monetize personal user records to commercial advertising networks. Technical access logs are purged after 90 days. User contributions to public discussion threads remain accessible until an explicit account erasure request is processed.

4. Your Data Subject Rights

Under GDPR, you retain the legal right to:

Request access to all archived personal records.
Demand the rectification of inaccurate data.
Request erasure ("Right to be Forgotten") of forum credentials.
Lodge a formal inquiry with the Icelandic Data Protection Authority (Persónuvernd, Rauðarárstígur 10, 105 Reykjavík).

5. Contacting the Data Protection Officer
