Facebook Pixel
VisitDenmark uses third-party cookies (Facebook pixels) to adapt our content and target marketing on Facebook and Instagram towards you and other advertising groups, as well as to analyze the effect of advertising based on interactions with our website. By clicking "Accept all" cookies, you consent to VisitDenmark's use of Facebook pixels.

When you accept marketingcookies on VisitDenmark's website, you consent to VisitDenmark's use of Facebook Pixel. Facebook Pixel is used to create a lookalike audience based on interaction with our website. A lookalike audience is a target group that is formed on the basis of data about current customers, in order to target people who can become the ideal customer. You can read more about lookalike audience at Facebook here.

VisitDenmark is the joint data controller with Facebook for the processing of your personal data when you consent to our use of Facebook Pixel. We only use data that comes from your interaction with our website. Facebook stores your data, which VisitDenmark then no longer has access to. You can read more about Facebook Pixel here.

EU-U.S. The Data Privacy Framework forms the basis for the adequacy decision the EU Commission has adopted regarding the transfer of personal data to the USA. The agreement stipulates a number of legal obligations that the organizations certified under the scheme must comply with, and thus ensures a sufficient level of protection in connection with the transfer of personal data from the EU to the USA. The list of certified organizations, which is continuously updated, can be found here.

Because Facebook is certified under the scheme, VisitDenmark can transfer personal data to Facebook without having to provide a transfer basis cf. GDPR article 46. Not all of Facebook's sub-data processors appear on the list, and your personal data may therefore be processed of unsafe organizations outside the EU. We refer to Facebook's privacy policy for further information here.

The purpose of the processing is, as part of VisitDenmark's exercise of public authority, to market Denmark as a travel destination, cf. GDPR art. 6(1)(e), as well as to be able to document that you have given consent, cf. GDPR article 6(1)(a). You can always revoke your consent for VisitDenmark's processing of your personal data by opting out of cookies in the cookie overview, which you will find in our cookie policy in the bottom left corner of the website.

We use this information to analyze which news the recipients open and which articles the recipients click on to on VisitDenmark's website. Based on this, we organize future newsletters - for example, in which order the stories should be presented in the newsletter.

If you access VisitDenmark’s website via the newsletter through the available links, VisitDenmark get access to data about which links were clicked, the number of times they were clicked, and which contacts clicked on a link. The link tracking is not based on whether you have accepted cookies at VisitDenmark's website, and we will therefore have access to this information regardless of your choice of cookies.

Behavior tracked at VisitDenmark’s website is only collected to the extent that you accept marketingcookies. VisitDenmark can not track when you visit certain pages on our website or how you integrate with our website, unless you consent to this via the cookie banner when you access VisitDenmark's website.

The purpose of the processing is to send you targeted newsletters, as part of VisitDenmark's exercise of authority to market Denmark as a travel destination pursuant to Act no. 648 of 15 June 2010 on VisitDenmark. You have at all times an unconditional right to object to the processing of your personal data for profiling cf. the General Data Protection Regulation article 21(2).

What personal data we collect, where we collect it, the purposes thereof, and the legal basis for the processing of your personal data

When you, as a tour operator, travel agent, journalist, influencer or other representative participate in familiarization- and press trips, we can collect and process data about, for example, your name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, title, gender, marital status, nationality, date of birth, passport number, next of kin information, links to your social media profiles, and special dietary preferences and requirements. In special cases, we can also collect and process special categories of personal data, including health data in the form of allergies and diseases.

The purpose is in order to be able to communicate with you and to plan a personalised programme for you in connection with your familiarization- or press trip, including making the necessary travel arrangements and considerations, and to conduct VisitDenmark’s efforts to market Denmark as a tourist destination in accordance with the task assigned to VisitDenmark as a public authority pursuant to Act no. 648 of 15 June 2010 on VisitDenmark, see Article 6(1)(e) of the General Data Protection Regulation.

In most cases, we will collect the data directly from you, including when we communicate with you and when you complete one of our forms for use in connection with your forthcoming familiarization- or press trip. However, we can also collect data about you from other sources, including our partners and suppliers, and from articles and other public media.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with all of our data processors that meets the requirements of Article 28 of the General Data Protection Regulation. This requires that these data processors carry out adequate technical and organisational measures so that the processing complies with the requirements of the regulation and ensures the protection of your rights.

In such cases, we will inform you of the necessary or adequate guarantees and where you can find or obtain them.

Your personal data can be made available to our data processors, including our hosting suppliers, to the extent that we register your data in our IT systems.

Your personal data can also be transferred to external partners, including destination partners, travel agents, hotels and restaurants to the extent necessary in order to plan and carry out the trip you will be participating in.

Recipients of personal data

Your personal data may be transferred to suppliers, partners, contracting parties or other third parties who process data on behalf of VisitDenmark. These companies are data processors and are under our instructions, and they process data for which we are the data controller. They may not use the data for other purposes than the fulfilment of the agreement with us, and they are bound by confidentiality regarding this data. We have concluded a data processing agreement with all of our data processors that meets the requirements of Article 28 of the General Data Protection Regulation. This requires that these data processors carry out adequate technical and organisational measures so that the processing complies with the requirements of the regulation and ensures the protection of your rights.

Your personal data may also be transferred to public authorities if required by law or if it is necessary in order to perform the task assigned to VisitDenmark.

In some cases, we transfer personal data outside the EU/EEA to recipients who do not necessarily have the same level of protection on the processing of personal data as that within the EU/EEA countries. In such cases, we will inform you of the necessary or adequate guarantees and where you can find or obtain them.

Your personal information can be handed to our external partners in connection with the distribution of the brochures. These companies are data processors and under our instruction and process data that we are data responsible for.

Storage of your personal data

We also reserve the right to store your personal data for a longer period than stated below if we assess that it will be necessary to determine, assert, or defend a legal claim.

Information collected in relation to our communication with you will be deleted when we no longer have a factual purpose of storing and processing the data. Information collected in relation to ordering of brochures will be deleted no later than 3 months after shipment of the brochure material.
