We use the PayPal Checkout payment service from PayPal (Europe) S.à.rl et Cie, SCA (22-24 Boulevard Royal L-2449, Luxembourg; "PayPal") on our website. The data processing serves the purpose of offering you the option of paying via this 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 is transmitted to PayPal in order to fulfill the contract with you using the selected payment method. This processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
Cookies may be stored that allow your browser to be recognized. The resulting data processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, due to our overriding legitimate interest in offering a customer-oriented range of payment methods. You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you.
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 to obtain a credit report based on mathematical-statistical methods using credit reference agencies. For this purpose, PayPal transmits the personal data required for a credit check to a credit reference agency and uses the information received about the statistical probability of payment default to make a balanced decision regarding the establishment, execution, or termination of the contractual relationship. The credit report may include probability values (score values) calculated using scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical methods, which may incorporate address data, among other factors. Your legitimate interests are protected in accordance with legal regulations. The data processing serves the purpose of credit assessment for initiating a contract. This processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, due to our overriding legitimate interest in protecting against payment defaults when PayPal provides services in advance.
You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to the processing of your personal data based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR by notifying PayPal. Providing this data is necessary for concluding the contract with your chosen payment method. Failure to provide this data will result in the contract not being able to be concluded with your chosen payment method.
Third-party providers
When paying via a third-party payment method, the data required for payment processing is transmitted to PayPal. This processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. To process this payment method, PayPal may then forward the data to the respective provider. This processing is also based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. Local third-party providers may include, 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
When paying via invoice, the data required for payment processing is initially transmitted to PayPal. To process this payment method, PayPal then transmits the data to Ratepay GmbH (Franklinstrasse 28-29, 10587 Berlin; "Ratepay") in order to fulfill the contract with you using the selected payment method. This processing is based on Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b GDPR. Ratepay may conduct a credit check using mathematical-statistical methods (probability or score values) with credit agencies, following the procedure described above. The data processing serves the purpose of credit assessment for initiating a contract. This processing is based on Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR, due to our overriding legitimate interest in protecting against payment defaults when Ratepay provides services in advance.
