In this Privacy Statement we describe who we are, how and for which purposes we process your Personal Information, how you can exercise your privacy rights and all other information that may be relevant to you.
We try to make all information clear and readable. However, if you have any questions about our use of your Personal Information after reading this Privacy Statement, you can of course always contact us. Further, on in this Privacy Statement you can read how you can get in touch with us.
We recommend you to also read our separate Cookie Statement. In this Cookie Statement, we describe our use of cookies and similar technologies.

We recommend you to regularly check if there has been any modification to the Privacy Statement, so that you exactly know where you stand.

In case of significant modifications, we will inform you by email and/or notify you on our homepage.

Bugaboo is established worldwide and operates correspondingly. Bugaboo provides several kinds of services. With regard to the activities as described in this Privacy Statement, Bugaboo together with Bugaboo Australia Pty Ltd can be qualified as ‘Joint Controllers’ within the meaning of the law.
Which Personal Information does Bugaboo collect from you?
Bugaboo collects several categories of Personal Information:

For which purposes does Bugaboo process your Personal Information?
Bugaboo collects and processes your Personal Information for the performance of the purchase agreement(s) entered into with you, administration, service, communication and (personalized or not) marketing, fraud investigation, quality and management purposes and to fulfil all our legal obligations.

If possible, we will use and apply to our communication the so-called ‘opt-out scheme’. That way you can easily inform us when you no longer want to receive communication of Bugaboo. Of course you can also always contact us directly via privacy@bugaboo.com.
To whom does Bugaboo provide your Personal Information?
Bugaboo can provide your Personal Information to third parties in accordance with this Privacy Statement and in so far as permitted by law. Without your explicit consent Bugaboo does not provide your Personal Information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.
Your Personal Information can be received by the following categories of recipients:
Group companies. As a global organisation, data we collect may be transferred internationally throughout our worldwide organisation. Your Personal Information may be exchanged with our group company’s working under the name ‘Bugaboo’. We exchange your data for administrative purposes and so that we can have a complete overview of your contacts and contracts with Bugaboo. We may also exchange your data in order to offer you a complete package of services and products. We may share Personal Information with our group companies for the purpose of providing jointly content and products and/or services (such as registration and customer support), the development of new products, websites, applications, services, tools and communication, and to prevent, trace and examine possible illegal activities, infringements of our policies, fraud and/or breaches of our data security.
Authorities. For example, supervisory authorities, Tax and Customs Administration, police and other statutory bodies. We may provide your Personal Information:
- to comply with a statutory obligation or court order;
- if this is necessary to prevent, trace or prosecute criminal acts; or
- if this is necessary to enforce our policies, or to protect the rights and freedoms of others.
Business service companies. To provide our services we use third parties. For example, a transportation company which is requested by Bugaboo to deliver the product you have purchased, or an online payment provider to that is requested by Bugaboo to handle online payments. In addition, we also engage third parties such as analytics companies, advertising agencies and social media platforms to analyse the data about your website use, to perform possible personalization of the website and communication, and the display of relevant offers and advertisements.
Other. Each third party to which we – with your consent – provide your Personal Information (for example within the context of a collaboration), and/ or to which Bugaboo now or in the future forms part of as a result of a restructuring, merger or acquisition.
As far as these third parties process your data they do so in the capacity of processor for Bugaboo. Bugaboo has taken the necessary measures to ensure that your data is exclusively used for the above purposes.
How do we protect your data?
We have adopted both technical and organisational measures to protect your data against loss, theft and unauthorised access. Examples are IT security policies, staff training and secure servers.
We continually improve our security measures in case of technological advances and developments. We also recommend that you properly and correctly secure your own passwords and electronic data carriers you use.
In the event of an actual or suspected data breach, we will follow the procedures outlined in our mandatory Data Breach Response Plan, including:
• containing the data breach;
• conducting a risk assessment to assess the severity rating of a suspected or known data breach;
• assessing whether an Eligible Data Breach has occurred.
If an Eligible Data Breach has occurred, we may report the data breach to third parties as required by law, or to other Bugaboo business partners or service providers. We will contact you if you have been personally impacted by an Eligible Data Breach.
Is your Personal Information being transferred outside Australia?
Your Personal Information may be stored and processed in any country where Bugaboo (and its group companies) are located. All Bugaboo entities operate under EU Standard Contractual Clauses, which provide safeguards for cross-border transfers.
We may share Personal Information about you with third parties, such as business partners, service providers, and/or vendors who help us execute our business. If your Personal Information are transferred to a third party in a country that does not provide an adequate level of protection for Personal Information, we will, where required, take measures to ensure that your Personal Information are adequately protected.

Accordingly, we request that you notify us if you are a European resident when you transfer your Personal Information to us or if you are aware that we are collecting your Personal Information. Your Personal Information will still be subjected to the same information security standards as are applied to all Personal Information held by Bugaboo and its global affiliates. However, we may manage your Personal Information in a different manner to take account of data portability entitlements and other GDPR-specific requirements.
How long does Bugaboo store your Personal Information?
Your Personal Information will be removed and/or made anonymous when your Personal Information is no longer necessary for the purposes for which these Personal Information are processed. Your Personal Information will be stored for as long as necessary to provide the services you have requested. We may also need to store your Personal Information for when we have a legal obligation or to resolve disputes. In addition to that, we can assure you that Bugaboo will not store your Personal Information longer than permitted by law.
How long we keep Personal Information can vary widely depending on the context of the services we offer, our legal obligations and the (local) entity that is processing your Personal Information. The following criteria are often used to determine the retention period: nature of the Personal Information, the context in which the Personal Information have been collected, the consequences for the data subject and the existence of appropriate safeguards (such as pseudonymization). Generally Personal Information will be retained for 7 years from the last date of any transactions or agreements entered into between you and Bugaboo.
