Personal data means any information that can directly or indirectly identify a living individual. This includes, for example, your name, address, email, phone number, and IP address—even if the identifying information is collected separately.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) categorizes personal data into different types, including special categories of personal data (such as health information or racial/ethnic origin), which are subject to stricter protection to safeguard your privacy.

In addition, we offer a broader selection of APIs and intermediates for use in pharmaceutical development and production.

As part of our business activities, we collect and process personal data about you in your capacity as a customer, supplier, or other business contact.

In the sections below, we describe what types of personal data we collect, how the data is collected, the purpose and legal basis for the processing, how we protect your data, and what rights you have under applicable data protection legislation.

Chr. Olesen Synthesis A/S collects and processes personal data in connection with your role as a customer, supplier, trainee, or job applicant.

If you are a customer, we collect contact information necessary to manage quotations, contracts, invoices, and other related business communication. If you are a supplier, we collect general contact information for communication and contractual purposes. If you are a trainee, we collect your contact details, résumé (CV), job application, and your civil registration number (CPR number), where required for reporting to the Job center or other public authorities. If you are a job applicant, we collect your contact details, résumé (CV), and job application. References from previous employers will only be obtained with your explicit consent.

We collect and use your personal data only for specific and legitimate purposes related to your role as a customer, supplier, trainee or job applicant with Chr. Olesen Synthesis A/S.

We ensure that your personal data is updated when we become aware that it is inaccurate or outdated.

We delete your personal data when it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected or processed. The retention period depends on the nature of the data and the legal basis for storing it. In all cases, we ensure compliance with applicable Danish law, including legal obligations related to bookkeeping, employment, and other regulatory requirements.

When we process your personal data, you have the following rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):
