Dataprotection

Generation, processing and utilisation of personal data

Personal data is information that may be used to reveal your identity. It includes information such as e.g. your name, address, postal address, and email. We only generate, process, and use your personal data if you provide it to us during the registration required to carry out your first order and future orders.

We also use the postal and email address you provide to us in order to communicate with you regarding your order, to update our data records, and to maintain your customer account with us.

Newsletter consent, voluntary additional data, and revocation

We will process and use your email address only for information regarding bellybutton products similar to your order if you have consented thereto on our website as follows:

"Yes, I wish to subscribe to the bellybutton newsletter"

Under the condition that you have subscribed to our newsletter, we will also process and use your voluntary additional information relating to your pregnancy and the gender of your children in order to send you bellybutton product recommendations tailored to your personal needs based on such additional information.

You may at any time revoke your consent to receiving our newsletter via the link Zur Abmeldung stated in each email newsletter, or by sending an email to info@bellybutton.de or a letter to bellybutton International GmbH, Donnerstraße 20, 22763 Hamburg, with effect for the future.

Online contact

If you wish to send us an email, you can enter the message in the field under the menu option „Kontakt“ and we will generate your name and email address in order to be able to respond to you. Afterwards, the stored data will be deleted again, unless we have already saved it with your approval for other purposes specified in this Data Protection Policy and are permitted to use it accordingly.


Right to object

By way of a simple message to one of our addresses specified herein-above, you can object to the processing and utilisation of your data for advertising purposes, market research, or surveys, and for future orders. In the latter case, your data will be blocked as soon as an individual order has been finally processed and will be deleted after expiration of the archiving periods required under tax and commercial law, however we make note that in this case all data will have to be generated anew for a successive order.

Transfer of personal data / consent to creditworthiness check

If and inasmuch as required, your data will be transmitted to the forwarding company entrusted with the delivery of your goods, and to our cooperation partner PVS Fulfillment-Service GmbH, Konrad-Zuse-Straße 16, 74172 Neckarsulm to whom we have assigned the payment process.

By placing an order with bellybutton, you consent to the transmission of personal data (name, address, date of birth) for creditworthiness checks to Infoscore Consumer Data GmbH, Rheinstr. 99, 76532 Baden-Baden and INFORMA Unternehmensberatung GmbH, Freiburger Str. 7, 75179 Pforzheim („credit enquiry agencies“), from whom we obtain information and credit worthiness data based on mathematical statistical procedures (Score value). The information and creditworthiness data thus obtained are saved by us for a term of no more than six months and finally deleted. Furthermore, you consent to bellybutton transmitting personal data relating to any conduct in contravention of the contract (e.g. card abuse, filings for service of a payment order for undisputed claims), only insofar as required for safeguarding bellybutton’s legitimate interests and as your protected interests are not adversely affected. The credit inquiry agencies save the data to provide the companies that have signed up to them with information to assess the creditworthiness of customers. They only transfer such data to their contracting partners if and inasmuch as the latter are able to provide credible evidence of a legitimate interest in the data transfer. You are entitled to demand that the credit inquiry agencies named disclose to you the information saved under your name.

Otherwise, you data will not be disclosed or transmitted to third parties.

Data security

Your personal data will be transmitted to us upon generation via a secured SSL connection (Secure-Socket-Layer) in encrypted form. Moreover, we will take additional technical and organisational safety measures to prevent any data loss, destruction, or abuse. Access to your customer account is only possible by entering your personal password. You can contribute to the protection of your data by selecting a password that is difficult to reconstruct e.g. a combination of letters, digits, and symbols and by keeping it strictly secret.
