2. How is my information being handled?

Description of the legal basis is made with reference to relevant articles of the UK General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). 

The information Coloplast may collect depends on the service(s) you have signed up for and the consent(s) you have given. See details for each consent option below.
