Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using our Services, you acknowledge that you have been provided with information about how we collect and use personal information.

Personal Information We Collect

When we use the term “personal information”, we mean information that identifies you or can reasonably be linked to you.

  • Automatically through the Services, including through cookies and similar technologies when you browse our website.

  • From service providers, where they process information on our behalf or assist us in providing the Services.

  • From business, analytics, advertising and marketing partners, where permitted by applicable law.

Legal and Regulatory Requirements

We may process personal information where necessary to comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal proceedings or lawful requests from public authorities.

Legal Bases for Processing

Where the UK GDPR or similar data protection legislation applies, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases:

Performance of a Contract

We process information where necessary to fulfil our contract with you, including processing orders, payments, delivery, returns and customer service.

Legitimate Interests

We may process information where necessary for our legitimate business interests, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.

These legitimate interests may include:

  • protecting our business from fraud;

  • understanding how customers use our store;

  • maintaining the security of our website; and

  • communicating with existing customers where permitted by law.

Consent

Where required, we rely on your consent for activities such as certain marketing communications, advertising technologies and non-essential cookies.

You can withdraw your consent at any time.

Legal Obligations

We may process information where necessary to comply with tax, accounting, consumer protection, data protection or other legal requirements.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We and our service providers may use cookies, pixels and similar technologies to operate and improve our website.

These technologies may be used for purposes including:

  • keeping the website functioning correctly;

  • remembering your preferences;

  • maintaining your shopping basket;

  • fraud prevention and security;

  • analytics and performance measurement; and

  • advertising and marketing.

Where required by applicable law, non-essential cookies and similar technologies will not be used until you provide your consent.

How We Share Personal Information

We may share personal information where reasonably necessary to operate our business and provide the Services.

This may include sharing information with:

  • Shopify, which provides the ecommerce infrastructure for our store;

  • payment processors;

  • delivery and fulfilment providers;

  • customer service providers;

  • hosting, cloud and IT providers;

  • analytics providers;

  • advertising and marketing partners;

  • professional advisers where necessary; and

  • public authorities or other parties where disclosure is required by law.

We may also disclose information in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, sale of assets or similar business transaction.

We do not permit service providers to use personal information for purposes unrelated to the services they provide to us except where permitted or required by law.

Shopify

Our store is hosted and powered by Shopify.

Shopify collects and processes personal information relating to your access to and use of our store in order to provide and improve its services.

Information you submit through our store may therefore be transmitted to Shopify and to service providers located in countries other than the country in which you live.

Shopify may also process certain information as an independent controller for its own purposes.

You can find further information in Shopify’s Consumer Privacy Policy and privacy portal.

Third-Party Websites and Services

Our Services may contain links to websites, social media platforms or other online services operated by third parties.

We do not control these third parties and are not responsible for their privacy or security practices.

We recommend reviewing the privacy notices of any third-party service you use.

Children’s Privacy

Our online store is intended for adults purchasing products and is not intended to be used directly by children.

Although Balibou™ products are designed for children, purchases and interactions with our Services should be made by a parent, guardian or other adult.

We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children.

If you believe that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at contact@balibou.com so that we can investigate and, where appropriate, delete the information.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, loss or misuse.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Please do not send sensitive or confidential information through unsecured communication channels.

How Long We Keep Personal Information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including:

  • fulfilling orders;

  • providing customer service;

  • maintaining business and transaction records;

  • resolving disputes;

  • preventing fraud; and

  • complying with legal, tax and accounting obligations.

The exact retention period may vary depending on the type of information and the applicable legal requirements.

When personal information is no longer required, we will delete, anonymise or otherwise securely dispose of it where reasonably practicable.

Your Data Protection Rights

Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have rights in relation to your personal information.

For individuals in the United Kingdom, these may include the right to:

  • access personal information we hold about you;

  • correct inaccurate or incomplete personal information;

  • request deletion of your personal information in certain circumstances;

  • restrict processing in certain circumstances;

  • object to processing, including certain processing based on legitimate interests;

  • receive or transfer your personal information in certain circumstances;

  • withdraw consent where processing is based on consent; and

  • complain to a data protection supervisory authority.

These rights are not absolute and may be subject to legal exceptions.

To exercise your rights, please contact us at:

contact@balibou.com

We may need to verify your identity before responding to your request.

We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

Marketing Preferences

If you receive marketing emails from us, you can unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe option included in the message.

Unsubscribing from marketing communications will not prevent us from sending necessary transactional communications relating to your account, orders, deliveries, returns or customer service requests.

Complaints

If you have a concern about how we process your personal information, please contact us first at contact@balibou.com so that we can attempt to resolve the issue.

If you are located in the United Kingdom, you may also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

If you are located in the European Economic Area, you may have the right to complain to the relevant data protection authority in your country.

International Transfers

Because we use Shopify and other international service providers, personal information may be transferred to, stored in or processed in countries outside the United Kingdom or European Economic Area.

Where applicable data protection law restricts such transfers, we will rely on an appropriate transfer mechanism.

Depending on the circumstances, these mechanisms may include:

  • applicable adequacy regulations or adequacy decisions;

  • the UK International Data Transfer Agreement;

  • the UK Addendum to approved standard contractual clauses;

  • European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses; or

  • another legally recognised transfer mechanism.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our Services, business practices or legal and regulatory requirements.

When we make changes, we will update the “Last updated” date shown at the top of this Privacy Policy.

Where required by law, we will provide additional notice of material changes.
