We get your personal data from the following sources: 

• From you directly
• From Health Care Professionals such as your nurse, a pharmacist or doctor
• From publicly available publications, websites, or social media

We always process your personal data for a specific purpose and only process the personal data which is relevant to achieve that purpose. In particular, we process your personal data for the following purposes:   

• To address your general enquiries and concerns in regards to our products
• To perform a scientific evaluation of any complaint or side effect potentially related to a Novo Nordisk medicinal product
• To file side effects in our global safety database, which is regularly analysed for overall patterns
• To assess patterns associated with complaints, including side effects

For the purposes described above in Section 3, we may process the following types of personal data: 

• Contact information (name, address, telephone number, email address)
• Data revealing racial or ethnic origin
• Data concerning health and medicinal products you are using

Personal data are collected only to the extent required. Under no circumstances are the collected data sold on to third parties for any reason. Our processing of your personal data requires a legal basis. We will not process your personal data if we do not have a proper justification foreseen in the law for that purpose. Therefore, we will only process your personal data if: 

• The processing is necessary for our compliance with the legal safety obligation

We may share your personal data with: 

• Health authorities
• Other Novo Nordisk entities (e.g., Novo Nordisk affiliates in other countries)
• Partner companies that assist our company (e.g. licence partners, consultants, IT service providers)

For the purposes described above in Section 3, we transfer your personal data to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA). The level of data protection in certain countries outside the EEA does not conform to the level of data protection for personal data currently applied and enforced within the EEA.

We therefore use the following safeguards, as required by law, to protect your personal data in case of such transfers:

• The transfer is to a Novo Nordisk entity covered by Novo Nordisk’s Binding Corporate Rules, available here
• The destination countries are deemed by the EU Commission to have an adequate level of protection of personal data.
• We have entered into Standard Contractual Clauses for the Transfer of Personal Data to Third Countries. You can get a copy of the Clauses by contacting us as described in Section 1.

We will keep your personal data for the following period of time:

• 12 years for data relating to technical complaints
• Permanently for data relating to side effects
• Up to 5 years for all other enquiries

In general, you have the following rights:  

• You can get an overview of what personal data we have about you
• You can get a copy of your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format
• You can get an update or correction to your personal data
• You can have your personal data deleted or destroyed
• You can submit a complaint about how we process your personal data to a Data Protection Authority.

 Under applicable law, there may be limits on these rights depending on the specific circumstances of the processing activity.  Contact us as described in Section 1 with questions or requests relating to these rights.
