Your data privacy when visiting this site
1 The information we collect
We collect information that can help us improve our website. We ask

main categories:

identifiable information
We do not link aggregated visitor statistics with personally
identifiable information.

Identifiable personal 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.

Your health, ethnic origin, religious beliefs or political

collect other sensitive data we will do so in strict compliance with
local data privacy law.

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 via our
privacy mailbox nngcprivacy@novonordisk.com.

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
