Privacy Policy
1 The information we collect
We collect information that can help us improve our websites. Some
information we ask you for directly, but other information is
collected automatically. All information collected automatically is
stored in an aggregate form and cannot be used to identify you as a
specific individual. We occasionally ask you for information that can
at times be personally identifiable and private.
As a result, information collected by us can be divided into two
main categories:
a) Aggregated visitor statistics
b)
Identifiable personal information
We do not link aggregated visitor statistics with personally
identifiable information.
Aggregated visitor statistics
When you visit our website, we automatically collect general
information about your computer and its location as well as the
website you came from, if applicable. This information cannot be used
to identify you as an individual. This information is only used in
aggregate form to inform us where our visitors come from, what they
look at and act on, and where the most time is spent.

cookie on your computer)

we place on your computer when possible)

Personally identifiable information
At times, we need to collect more personal data about you. Some
areas/parts of our website might require you to register in order to
log in; we might ask you for information such as your age and
occupation to better understand the purpose of your visit and to
improve your visitor experience.
In any case, whenever we ask you for any personally identifiable
information that can be used to identify you as an individual, we will
always provide an explanation as to why we collect the information,
how we collect it, how we store it and how we plan on treating and
using it.
2 How information is used
We will only collect and store personally identifiable information
for the purpose stated during the collecting process. When we finish
processing your information for the stated purpose, we will erase and
destroy it to ensure your privacy.
3 Collection of sensitive data
We do not collect or retain sensitive personal data relating to your
health, ethnic origin, religious beliefs or political conviction etc.
at this site. In the rare case where we do seek to collect other
sensitive data, we will do so in strict compliance with local data
privacy law.
4 Protection of children
Protecting the privacy of children is important. Novo Nordisk does
not intend to collect personally identifiable information from
children (a child is defined as being under the age of 18) without
permission of the parent or legal guardian. Children should NOT submit
personally identifiable information to Novo Nordisk without the
explicit permission of their parent or legal guardian.
Where appropriate, we will instruct children not to submit personal
data. If your child has submitted personal data and you would like to
request that such information be removed, please contact privacy@novonordisk.com.
5 How we ensure data security
Personal data are collected on this website only to the extent
required. Under no circumstances are the collected data sold on to
third parties for any reason.
6 Where are the data processed?
Any personal data we collect may be transferred internationally
within Novo Nordisk’s global organisation. We have internal policies
in place to ensure an adequate level of protection irrespective of
where in Novo Nordisk your data are located.
Please
learn more about our position on personal data protection.
7 Disclosure to third parties
We will never transfer or sell personally identifiable information
about our visitors to a third party.
We will generally only share information with our contracted service
providers and advisors. However, in order to comply with legal
obligations, to protect the rights, property or safety of Novo
Nordisk, its employees and others, or in the event we sell or
liquidate any part of business or assets, personal data may be shared.
Any such sharing will be in compliance with data privacy law.
