You agree that we may modify these Terms of Use and that such modifications shall become effective immediately upon posting of the modified Terms of Use to our website or otherwise notifying you of an update through one or more components of the DHC Program. If you do not accept the modifications, then you must cease using the DHC Program. The Terms of Use contain the date of posting at the top of the first page.
- Permission to Use DHC Program; Limitations on Use of DHC Program. Subject to your acceptance and while you remain in compliance with the Terms of Use, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the DHC Program solely and exclusively for your own personal use and not for any other purpose. This license is solely and exclusively for your benefit. All other uses of the DHC Program are prohibited.
- Communication Options. By choosing to enroll in the DHC Program, you consent/opt in to the option of receiving phone calls, text messages, and/or emails from your DHC Program coach. After you complete your initial enrollment in the DHC Program online or by phone, you will receive a welcome call to complete your enrollment process and to further opt in to your preferred method of communication with your DHC Program coach. We do not guarantee that DHC Program communications will be received and are not responsible for lost or misdirected communications.

You can also opt out of the coaching program and stop receiving messages at any time by texting, calling, or emailing your coach, or by calling 1-877-322-0281 or emailing privacy@nnihealthcoach.com. If you opt out of the DHC Program, any future data collection in the DHC Program from you will end. Any data previously collected through the DHC Program may be stored by Novo Nordisk. PLEASE NOTE that opting out of the DHC Program does not unsubscribe and/or opt you out of any future communications from Novo Nordisk or its partners that you may have previously signed up for separate and apart from the DHC Program.

- Access or Delivery to Mobile Network is Not Guaranteed. Delivery of information and content to a mobile device is not guaranteed and may fail to due to a variety of circumstances or conditions. Alerts sent via text message may not be delivered if the mobile phone is not in range of a transmission site, or if sufficient network capacity is not available at a particular time. Even within a coverage area, factors beyond the control of the wireless carrier may interfere with message delivery, including the customer's equipment, terrain, proximity to buildings, foliage, and weather. Novo Nordisk will not be held responsible for any delays in the receipt of any text messages as delivery is subject to effective transmission from your mobile service provider or network operator. You understand and acknowledge that network services, including but not limited to mobile network services, are outside of Novo Nordisk’s control, and Novo Nordisk is not responsible or liable for issues arising from them. Note that there may be data or message fees imposed by your carrier or service provider if you choose to receive text messages from your DHC Program coach.
- Novo Nordisk cannot guarantee the security of any personal health information transmitted via SMS text message. SMS text messages are not encrypted or protected. These communications and, possibly their content, may be stored on servers where mobile carrier employees, governments, or other unknown third parties might be able to view or access them.
- Text Message Frequency. The DHC Program’s message frequency will vary depending on your individual selections. Please be aware that Novo Nordisk brands and services may have separate text messaging programs. The total number of text messages you receive from Novo Nordisk or its partners, therefore, may vary based on the number of Novo Nordisk text messaging programs for which you sign-up to receive messages.
- Privacy & Security. In order to enroll in the DHC Program, you may provide us with your name, email address, phone number, and residential address. We require this information in order to communicate with you, provide you with the DHC Program, and to send you DHC Program materials. During the course of the DHC Program, you may be asked for additional details about your condition, lifestyle, diet, exercise, or other information in order to tailor the DHC Program to best suit your needs and to improve the DHC Program. You are not required to provide this additional information, but not doing so may make your experience less personalized. Your information will be shared between Novo Nordisk and its service providers who support the DHC Program in accordance with applicable laws. Novo Nordisk and its service providers may share information that does not individually identify you without restriction in accordance with applicable laws. Novo Nordisk understands and values the importance of your privacy. In accordance with these Terms of Use, Novo Nordisk may use your information for program improvements, quality monitoring, data and analytics for Novo Nordisk commercial purposes, and future Novo Nordisk marketing communications (including branded or unbranded emails, text messages, or direct mail).
