This privacy statement applies to Pamboo. Should there be any inconsistency between this data protection statement and any other applicable contract or the general terms and conditions of Pamboo, the provisions of this data protection statement will prevail.
Data protection is of high importance for us at Pamboo, which operates pamboo.ch, pamboo.de, pamboo.eu. This privacy statement has been prepared to explain the nature, extent and purpose of processing of personal data within our online services and associated web pages, functions and is inline with EU’s General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR). It also shows how personal data is handled in Pamboo. As the controller, Pamboo has implemented organisational and technical measures to ensure compliance with GDPR regulations and the most complete protection of personal data (see a) Personal data) processed through this website. However, there is always a remaining risk to transmit data on the Internet.
Pamboo is a registered Swiss brand for sustainable kids’ and baby fashion. Pamboo was founded in 2015 by the textile designer Anna Warth. Anna was inspired by her own motherhood and her positive experience with natural cotton. Based on her knowledge after graduating from the Swiss Textile College STF and her focus on sustainability and comfort, Anna launched the unique collections of Pamboo.
The privacy policy of Pamboo is limited to the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of GDPR. To ensure our policy is understandable, we explain the following terms used in our privacy policy:
The term ‘personal data’ is the entryway to the application of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Personal data is any information which is related to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter “data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data are processed by the person responsible for the processing.
Processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
The controller or person responsible for the processing means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. If the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
The processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
Recipient means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.
A third party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.
Consent of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data concerning him or her

The privacy statement covers both historical and future personal data. If you agree to your data being processed, we will process not only personal data collected by you in the future in accordance with this privacy statement, but also your personal data that we already have on file. This also applies in particular to personal data which we have collected and processed until the relaunch of this web shop.
Pamboo processes personal data on the following legal bases:
Many processing activities for personal data are carried out in Pamboo on the basis of voluntary declarations of consent by the respective data subjects, e.g. the dispatch of newsletters or the requested notification about news patterns. The legal basis for processing activities for which we obtain consent for a particular processing purpose is Article 6 (1) a) GDPR.
If the processing of personal data is necessary to perform a contract, the processing is on the basis of Article 6 (1) b) GDPR. The same applies to such processing activities that are necessary to perform pre-contractual measures, such as in cases of enquiries about our products or services.
If Pamboo is subject to a legal obligation requiring processing of personal data, the processing is on the basis of Article 6 (1c) of the GDPR.
In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person, e.g. if you need help as a customer or visitor to Pamboo. The processing is then based on Article 6 (1d) of the GDPR.
If the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in Pamboo, then the processing is on the basis of Article 6 (1) e) GDPR.
Processing activities may be carried out on the basis of Article 6 (1) f) GDPR. This is the legal basis for processing activities not covered by the previous legal bases, where processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by Pamboo or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. Before any processing, the existence of a legitimate interest will be particularly carefully considered in individual cases.
We process your personal data for a variety of purposes. These purposes can be summarised in different groups. In particular, we may process all or some of your personal data for one or more of the following purposes:
As a data controller, we collect a variety of data in order to deliver our services. We have provided further detail below about the specific types of data we collect and our reasons for doing so.

Information about our customers is an important part of our business and we are not in the business of selling our customers’ personal information to others.
As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy other businesses. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Notice (unless, of course, the customer consents otherwise). Also, in the unlikely event that Pamboo is acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets.
We release accounts and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our Terms and Conditions and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Pamboo, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
We may also pass your personal data on to third parties in order to make use of technical or organisational services which we need to meet the purposes specified or for our other business activities. Our service providers are contractually bound to process personal data exclusively on our behalf and in accordance with our instructions. We also oblige our service providers to comply with technical and organisational measures which guarantee the protection of personal data. If the service providers are located in countries where the applicable laws do not provide any protection of personal data that is comparable with that provided by Swiss law, we will ensure by contract that the service providers concerned maintain the GDPR (and Swiss) level of data protection.
The Pamboo shop relies on third-party service providers, which perform a variety of services on our behalf. Such services are the processing of payment transactions, the shipping of our products (e.g. Swiss Post) or the hosting of our data. Personal information is shared with the following third-parties:

For example, we retain your purchase history so that you can review past purchases (and repeat orders if desired) and what address you have shipped orders to, and to improve the relevancy of products and recommendations. Some data may also be stored longer than the stated retention period for the purposes of business continuity. Where we no longer need to process personal data for the purposes set out in this privacy policy, we will delete all personal data from our systems.

In order to constantly improve and optimise our Internet offering, we use what are known as tracking technologies. Web analysis tools provide us with statistics and graphics which provide us with information about the use of our websites. This involves data about the use of a website being transferred to the server used. Depending on the provider of a web analysis tool, these servers may be located abroad. For the most frequently used web analysis tool, Google Analytics, these data are transferred including shortened IP addresses, which prevents the identification of individual devices. Google complies with the data protection rules of the "Swiss-U.S. Privacy ShieldFramework" and is registered with the “Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield” program of the US Department of Commerce (Information about the “Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield” can be found under https://www.privacyshield.gov/Swiss-US-Privacy-Shield-FAQs). The IP address transmitted by your browser within the framework of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. Transfer of these data by Google to third parties can only take place on the basis of legal regulations or as part of the order data processing.
You may prevent the recording of the data generated by cookies and relating to your use of the website (incl. your IP address) at Google, as well as the processing of these data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de) You will find more detailed information about Google Analytics and data protection at http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de or http://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/privacyoverview.html.
Our primary goal is to ensure that our website is as protected and secure as possible for you and for us. To ensure this, we use Google reCAPTCHA V3 from Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). With reCAPTCHA, we can determine whether you really are a flesh-and-blood human being and not a robot or other spam software. By spam we mean any unsolicited information sent to us electronically.
What is reCAPTCHA?
reCAPTCHA is a free captcha service from Google that protects websites from spam software and abuse by non-human visitors. The most common use of this service is when you fill out forms on the web. A captcha service is an automatic Turing test designed to ensure that an action on the Internet is performed by a human and not a bot. In the classic Turing test (named after computer scientist Alan Turing), a human determines the distinction between a bot and a human. In captchas, this is also done by the computer or a software program. Classic captchas work with small tasks that are easy for humans to solve, but present significant difficulties for machines. With reCAPTCHA you don't have to actively solve puzzles anymore. The tool uses modern risk techniques to distinguish humans from bots. With Invisible reCAPTCHA used by Bamboo, even that is no longer necessary. With reCAPTCHA v3, a JavaScript element is included in the source code and then the tool runs in the background and analyzes your user behavior. From these user actions, the software calculates a so-called captcha score. Google uses this score to calculate how likely you are to be human even before you enter the captcha. ReCAPTCHA or captchas in general are always used when bots could manipulate or abuse certain actions (such as registrations, surveys, etc.). At Bamboo, the following pages are protected by reCAPTCHA v3: Login page, Registration page, Forgot password page, Contact page.
The following list examples of collected browser and user data that are processed by Google.
Why do we use reCAPTCHA on our website?
We want to welcome only flesh and blood people on our site. Bots or spam software of any kind may safely stay at home. That's why we pull out all the stops to protect ourselves and offer the best possible user experience for you. For this reason we use Google reCAPTCHA from Google. This way we can be pretty sure that we remain a "bot-free" website. By using reCAPTCHA, data is transmitted to Google, which Google uses to determine whether you are actually a human being. reCAPTCHA therefore serves the security of our website and, by extension, your security. For example, without reCAPTCHA it could happen that a bot registers as many e-mail addresses as possible during registration in order to "spam" forums or blogs with unwanted advertising content. Spam bots could try to guess the e-mail addresses of our customers, e.g. with the password forgotten page. With reCAPTCHA we can avoid such bot attacks.
On this website, the controller has integrated components of YouTube. YouTube is an Internet video portal that enables video publishers to set video clips and other users free of charge, which also provides free viewing, review and commenting on them. YouTube allows you to publish all kinds of videos, so you can access both full movies and TV broadcasts, as well as music videos, trailers, and videos made by users via the Internet portal.
The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, UNITED STATES. The YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, UNITED STATES.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to download a display of the corresponding YouTube component. Further information about YouTube may be obtained under https://www.youtube.com/about/. During the course of this technical procedure, YouTube and Google gain knowledge of what specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged in on YouTube, YouTube recognizes with each call-up to a sub-page that contains a YouTube video, which specific sub-page of our Internet site was visited by the data subject. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective YouTube account of the data subject.
YouTube and Google will receive information through the YouTube component that the data subject has visited our website, if the data subject at the time of the call to our website is logged in on YouTube; this occurs regardless of whether the person clicks on a YouTube video or not. If such a transmission of this information to YouTube and Google is not desirable for the data subject, the delivery may be prevented if the data subject logs off from their own YouTube account before a call-up to our website is made.
YouTube’s data protection provisions, available at https://www.youtube.com/t/terms and https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en, provide information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.
