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.

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.

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.

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 privacyireland@novonordisk.com.
