When first registering with HiPP BabyClub, we will collect your name and address data to be able to contact you. We will also collect your e-mail address so that we can verify your registration and send you the newsletter and parents’ letters. We will also collect the name and date of birth of your child, as we will send you, in particular, age-related parents’ letters and product samples.

As a Club member, you can take part in competitions and prize draws. For participation in competitions and prize draws, please take note of our terms of use and the conditions of entry, which you will find on the respective competition page. In the context of a competition, sometimes personal data, such as a private picture or picture description which you have submitted, is collected and published.

These could be your name, your e-mail address or postal address which are stored in your Club profile. With some competitions or prize draws, entry requires you to perform additional tasks, such as to recommend a friend or to solve a puzzle.

3. Social Media

Our page on various social media platforms (Instagram, Facebook) also offers you extensive personal support services and the possibility to stay in contact with us. These social media services also collect personal data, e.g. about the profile you have created or via so-called social plug-ins that are implemented in third-party webpages.

If you send us an enquiry using any of these social media platforms, we will forward the enquiry to the responsible department. The data will exclusively be used to answer your enquiry and will not be forwarded to third parties.

To be able to get in touch with us via social media, you have to register with these services first. For this purpose, the companies behind the service in question will record, store and use personal data if required. We have no influence on the nature, the scope and the processing of such data. This also applies to any images/videos uploaded to social media. Please note that the rights might be transferred to the social media services. You will find the details in the terms and conditions of use and the privacy policy of the respective service provider.

These are services provided by companies based in the U.S.:

Facebook Inc. (1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA)
Instagram Inc (1 Hacker Way, Building 14 First Floor. Menlo Park, CA 94025)

If you open a webpage belonging to our website which contains such a plug-in, your browser will establish a direct connection to the servers of the respective enterprises. The contents of the plug-in are transmitted directly to your browser and integrated in the website. We therefore have no influence on the scope of data which the enterprises in question record with the help of such plug-ins. The information we are therefore providing to you is based on our current knowledge:

By integrating the plug-ins, the respective companies obtain the information that you have accessed certain pages of our Internet offering. If you are already logged into one of the aforementioned enterprises, these are able to assign your visit to the relevant account you have created with them. If you interact using the plug-ins, your browser will send the relevant information directly to the respective company where it is stored. In case you have no user account with any of the aforementioned companies, there is still a chance that they become aware of your IP address and store it.

So it cannot be ruled out that each visitor of our website is detected by the aforementioned enterprises on the basis of their IP address and the URL accessed, even if the visitor neither clicks on the plug-ins nor is registered with the enterprise with a user account.

To find out more about the purpose and scope of the data collection and further processing and the use of the data by these enterprises and your rights and possibilities in this regard and which settings protect your private sphere, please refer to the privacy policies provided by:
