If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified and provided that there are no legal retention obligations to the contrary.
4) Use of customer data for direct marketing
Subscription to our email newsletter
If you subscribe to our email newsletter, we will send you regular information about our offers. The only mandatory information required to send you the newsletter is your email address. The provision of further data is voluntary and is used to address you personally. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure for sending the newsletter, which ensures that you only receive the newsletter once you have expressly confirmed your consent to receiving the newsletter by clicking on a verification link sent to the email address you provided.
By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent to use your personal data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. We store your IP address as entered by your Internet service provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration so that we can trace any possible misuse of your email address at a later date. The data collected by us when you register for the newsletter will be used strictly for the intended purpose.
You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via the link provided in the newsletter or by sending a message to the person responsible mentioned above. After you unsubscribe, your email address will be deleted from our newsletter distribution list immediately, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use your data beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this statement.
5) Data processing for contract execution
5.1 To execute the contract, we work with the following service provider(s), who support us in whole or in part in the execution of concluded contracts. Certain personal data is transferred to these service providers in accordance with the following information.
5.2 Use of payment service providers (payment services)
– PayPal
One or more online payment methods from the following provider are available on this website: PayPal (Europe) S.a.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg
If you select a payment method from the provider that requires advance payment, your payment details provided during the ordering process (including name, address, bank and payment card information, currency, and transaction number) as well as information about the content of your order will be passed on to the provider in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. In this case, your data will only be passed on for the purpose of processing the payment with the provider and only to the extent necessary for this purpose.
If you select a payment method where we make advance payments, you will also be asked to provide certain personal data (first and last name, street, house number, postal code, city, date of birth, email address, telephone number, and, if applicable, data on an alternative means of payment) during the ordering process.
In such cases, in order to protect our legitimate interest in determining your solvency, we will forward this data to the provider for the purpose of a credit check in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The provider checks whether the payment option you have selected can be granted with regard to payment and/or default risks on the basis of the personal data you have provided and other data (such as shopping cart, invoice amount, order history, payment history).
The credit check may contain probability values (so-called score values). Insofar as score values are included in the credit check result, they are based on a scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical method. Address data, among other things, but not exclusively, is included in the calculation of the score values.
You can object to this processing of your data at any time by sending a message to us or to the provider. However, the provider may still be entitled to process your personal data if this is necessary for contractual payment processing.
6) Rights of the data subject
