Privacy policy

Effective: November 13, 2025

Your privacy is very important to us.

It is Norigin Media’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website. This Privacy Policy applies to https://noriginmedia.com/ , https://northernwaves.tv/ , https://devportal.noriginmedia.com/ (hereinafter, “us”, “we”, or “Norigin Media”). We are committed to protecting your personal data and complying with applicable privacy laws, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK GDPR, and relevant data protection laws in other jurisdictions where we operate.

This Privacy Policy applies only to information we collect through the Website(s) and does not apply to our collection of information from other sources.

This Privacy Policy set forth the general rules and policies governing your use of our website(s).

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Norigin Media collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as browser type, language preference, referring site, general location, and the date and time of each visitor request. Norigin Media’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how visitors use its website(s). From time to time, we may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate format, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of our website.

Norigin Media also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged-in users, account owners, Developer Portal users, website visitors and for users leaving comments on blog posts. Please avoid publishing personally-identifying information on your blog comments as we cannot be responsible.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Norigin Media’s websites choose to interact with us in ways that require Norigin Media to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Norigin Media gathers depends on the nature of the interaction.

  • When registering for event or submitting contact forms, we may collect contact and company details.
