If you do not agree with this privacy policy, you should not use this Website.

1. Information We Ask For
We want to understand the users of this Web site and need information to do so. Some information we ask you for directly, but other information is collected automatically. Either way, we always ask your permission to keep it. So you can see exactly how this works, it is explained below.

Provided by You
All information we collect by asking you includes only what you decide to give us. It is your voluntary decision to provide us with this information and you have the choice not to. Typically, the information we ask for includes some of the following, but this list is not exhaustive:
• Contact details, such as your name, e-mail address and postal address
• Country of residence
• Professional occupation

Through our Website
Our servers automatically gather the following information about:

* The Internet domain (for example “xyzcompany.com” if you use private Internet access account, or “xyzschool.edu” if you connect from a university’s domain) and IP address (an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are on-line) from which you access our Web site.

Customer Identifiable Information
The information we ask for is sometimes called “Customer identifiable information”. To clarify, we mean information associated with a specific individual, e.g. when you decide to give us your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, etc. Information about online activities that are directly linked to users will only be retained where permission is explicitly given (i.e. you decide to opt-in) or you decide to provide the information to gain access to a site function or feature and the information is relevant to Novo Nordisk’s stated aims.

2. How We Use the Collected Information
To give us an idea about you, your interests and how we can develop our site and services to suit you, we use mathematics to analyse the information. Any information we collect is used internally, by Novo Nordisk or its affiliates, to improve or innovate products, improve the content of the Web sites, to enhance users’ experiences when visiting our sites, to customize the content and/or layout of our pages, and to provide the services required by an individual user. We do not use personal identifying information for any reason that is not disclosed in the Novo Nordisk’s Privacy Policy.

3. Cookies
Like many sites, our Web site may utilize a standard technology called a “cookie” to collect information about how our site is used in order to store your preferences. We cannot tell your name or any other personal information from this. Cookies are designed to help a Web site recognize a user’s browser as a previous visitor and thus save and remember any preferences of the user while browsing the site. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from your hard drive, pass on a computer virus, or capture your e-mail address.
Cookies can securely store a user’s password, personalize home pages, identify which parts of a site have been visited or keep track of selections. Our cookies may collect your domain name and track your selections through our Web pages. We only use “cookies” to gather the information indicated in this policy.
You may delete cookies stored in your hard drive at any time or set a warning when a cookie is sent to you. Please refer to your browser’s documentation for details.

4. Disclosure to Third Parties
We don’t share personal identifiable information with any third party without your explicit permission, except when required by law or official regulations. Such information is kept within Novo Nordisk. We may disclose only in aggregate form our statistical analysis or demographics of users to third parties, e.g. “x% of site visitors are men”.
If we want to work with another organisation where data sharing may be considered, we will ask your permission (and are legally obliged to do so) to share your individual information. If you agree to this, we ensure that our partners honour this Privacy Policy.

Novo Nordisk will not sell all or any parts of data collected on this Website.

5. Protection for Children
