Use of PayPal Check-Out

We use the PayPal Check-Out payment service provided by PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A. (22-24 Boulevard Royal L-2449, Luxembourg; "PayPal") on our website. The data processing serves the purpose of being able to offer you payment via the payment service. By selecting and using payment via PayPal, credit card via PayPal, direct debit via PayPal, or "Pay Later" via PayPal, the data required for payment processing will be transmitted to PayPal in order to fulfill the contract with you using the selected payment method. This processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

Cookies may be stored here that enable the recognition of your browser. The resulting data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR due to our overriding legitimate interest in offering a customer-oriented range of different payment methods. You have the right to object to this processing of personal data concerning you at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation.

Credit card via PayPal, direct debit via PayPal & "Pay later" via PayPal

For certain payment methods such as credit card via PayPal, direct debit via PayPal or "Pay later" via PayPal, PayPal reserves the right, if necessary, to obtain a credit report based on mathematical-statistical procedures using credit agencies. For this purpose, PayPal transmits the personal data required for a credit check to a credit agency and uses the information received on the statistical probability of a payment default to make a balanced decision regarding the establishment, implementation or termination of the contractual relationship. The credit report may contain probability values (score values) calculated on the basis of scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical procedures and which include, among other things, address data. Your legitimate interests will be taken into account in accordance with the statutory provisions. The data processing serves the purpose of credit checks for the initiation of a contract. The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR out of our overriding legitimate interest in protection against payment default when PayPal makes advance payments.
You have the right to object to this processing of personal data concerning you based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR at any time by notifying PayPal, for reasons arising from your particular situation. The provision of the data is necessary for the conclusion of the contract using the payment method you have requested. Failure to provide this data will result in the contract not being concluded using the payment method you have selected.

Third-party providers
When paying using a third-party payment method, the data required for payment processing will be transmitted to PayPal. This processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. To carry out this payment method, the data may then be passed on by PayPal to the respective provider. This processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. Local

third-party providers can be, for example:

Apple Pay (Apple Distribution International Ltd., Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland) Google Pay (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland)

Purchase on account via PayPal
