We don’t sell or exchange subscriber data to any third parties. We don’t use subscriber contact data for any other purpose than that stated above.
Advertising
IcelandAurora.com uses various affiliate networks. We display ads that could take you to another website with different privacy settings. We might make a small commission if your click leads to a sale. IcelandAurora doesn’t keep any records of any visitors who click on adverts.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
Comments are currently closed sitewide because the majority of posts are Static Files. Old comments are still visible.

A copy is sent to my personal email. Any data that you submit is kept secure and only processed in a respectable way.
I don’t sell or share personal information about you with other people or non-affiliated companies.
I will try to ensure that your personal data is not disclosed to regional/national institutions and authorities, unless required by law or other regulations.
