The following information will be obtained during the registration process before the User can use PostenID:

4.1 General
The security solutions are protected by a password/code which is personal. The User is solely responsible for its use. It is therefore extremely important that a unique password/code is used which are never given to others or written down so that unauthorized persons can pretend to be the User with regard to Posten Bring. The password should be changed in accordance with the specifications stated as requirements for the security solution at any given time.
The user can upgrade PostenID with a BankID issued by any bank in Norway, or any other corresponding security instrument approved by Posten Bring. The password/code generated by a security instrument of this kind is the User’s signature when using PostenID. It will be assumed that it is the User who has made use of the individual service where the correct password is used.
The User is solely responsible for losses resulting from the User giving their PostenID information to others or from others acquiring such access as a result of circumstances on the part of the User.
All necessary personal information that Posten Bring has about the user must always be updated. The User is solely responsible for ensuring that the correct email address and phone number are stored at Posten Bring and for providing information on changes by logging on to www.posten.no and changing this information under personal settings, provided that the User wishes to receive notification by email and/or text message (depending on what is available) concerning the individual service covered by PostenID.
If the User discovers errors, omissions, irregularities or any other issues that may be of significance to Posten Bring as a supplier of PostenID, the User must notify Posten Bring of this.
4.2 Transmission of notifications
Posten Bring will send notices to the User regarding items such as new functionality, operational information and other information related to services from Posten Bring and its partners.

The User can turn off/on the current notification services/communication as desired under “Settings” or using the cancel function directly in any received notification (text messages/email) where this feature is made available. Such changes will only affect Posten Bring services that use PostenID and will not override any other consents that may have been granted in other contexts.
