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.

Information we collect automatically:

  • First-party cookie support (whether you allow us to place a cookie on your computer)
  • Visitor ID (provided by a cookie we place on your computer when possible)
  • Referrer (i.e. where you came from, e.g. google.com)
  • Date and time of visit
  • Regional and language settings (to determine which country you are in)
  • Operating System (Windows, OS X, Linux, iOS, Android etc.)
  • Browser & Browser Version (Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Safari etc.)
  • Screen Resolution (1280x1024, 1024x768, etc.)
  • JavaScript support
  • Java support
  • IP address (computer address on the internet)
  • The title of the page you are viewing
  • The URL of the page you are viewing

Identifiable personal 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.

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.
