This website is created to provide information about our
company, products and services. This disclaimer applies only to this
website and describes how and why we collect information about you as
a user.
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) Personally
identifiable 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.
Information we collect automatically:
Personally identifiable information
At times, we need to collect more personally identifiable
information 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 ask for your
consent and 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(s), 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
us.
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 the data privacy
law.
8. Visitor rights
You are entitled to know whether we hold personal data about
you and, if we do, obtain insight to that data and require the data
to be corrected, if inaccurate. You are also entitled to know the
purpose(s) and you may object to Novo Nordisk’s use of your personal
data and require such data erased. Please
contact us if you wish to obtain insight in your personal data
or if you have any concerns in this regard.
