General information about e-mail, fax and security

  • The Norwegian Labor and Welfare Agency treats e-mails and faxes in the same way as normal letter mail regarding privacy, confidentiality, record-keeping and the Public Disclosure Act.
  • Inquiries via e-mail or fax must include your full name and address, but should not contain any other personal information, such as your social security number.  
  • Regular e-mail is unsecured and unencrypted. Therefore, do not send sensitive or confidential information, such as details about health conditions or diagnoses.  
  • Questions regarding the disclosure of personal data will not be answered via email or fax.  
  • Many processes at the Norwegian Labor and Welfare Agency require the use of specific forms with the appropriate signatures. Standard e-mail or fax cannot be used for these purposes.  
  • If necessary for proper case management, the Norwegian Labor and Welfare Agency may notify you that your inquiry must be sent by post or delivered in person.

Chat on nav.no

You can chat with our chatbot or a Nav-advisor on nav.no. Here you can find out how we process and store the information you share.

Chat with our chatbot

The chatbot is a digital assistant that uses artificial intelligence (AI), including language models, to understand and answer questions. We clearly identify when you are interacting with the chatbot and when content is generated by AI, so you always know when you are using AI-based services.

How the chatbot works

  • The chatbot understands your questions by matching your words with patterns it has been trained to recognise, and by using language models that identify meaning in text.
  • The chatbot does not learn from your conversation. Your conversation is not used to train or improve the language model.
  • The chatbot uses both approved content written by Nav-advisors and AI-generated content. We clearly label answers that include AI-generated content.
  • Nav decides when and how the chatbot uses AI.

This means:

  • The chatbot can provide general information.
  • The chatbot cannot make decisions about your case.
  • The chatbot cannot replace a Nav-advisor and does not have access to your case.

The information you share:

  • is not used for marketing
  • is not shared with private companies
  • is not used to make automated decisions about you or to create a profile of you

Do not share personal information

You do not need to log in to use the chatbot. Before you start a chat, we ask you not to share personal information.

Conversations with the chatbot are not stored in your case records at Nav.

If you share personal information

If you share information that can identify you, such as your:

  • name
  • national identity number (fødselsnummer)
  • phone number
  • email address

or information about your:

  • health
  • religion
  • political views

We mask this information in the chat log. This means it cannot be linked directly to you.

End the chat

You can end the conversation at any time and choose to contact us through another channel.

Storage of chatbot conversations

We store chatbot conversations for 90 days and then permanently delete them.

We use chatbot conversations for:

  • statistics and analysis
  • troubleshooting
  • quality assurance
  • improving the chatbot's functionality and user experience

Chat with a Nav-advisor

When you chat with a Nav-advisor, you are talking to a person who works at Nav Call and Service Centre.

Storage of the conversation

  • If you are not logged in with BankID: We store the conversation for two days. After that, it is automatically deleted.
  • If you are logged in with BankID: The conversation is saved in your inbox on My Page (Min side) on nav.no. It stays there until you ask us to delete it.

We store conversations to:

  • provide follow-up support
  • keep a record of your contact with Nav
  • improve our services

End the chat

You can end the conversation at any time and choose to contact us through another channel.
