Use of PayPal as a payment method
If you decide to pay with the online payment service provider PayPal during your order process, your contact details will be transmitted to PayPal as part of the order triggered in this way. PayPal is an offer of PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. & Cie. S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg. PayPal assumes the function of an online payment service provider as well as a trustee and offers buyer protection services.
The personal data transferred to PayPal is mostly first name, last name, address, phone number, IP address, email address, or other data required for order processing, as well as data related to the order, such as number of items, item number, invoice amount and tax percentage, billing information, etc.
This transmission is necessary to process your order with the payment method you have selected, in particular to confirm your identity, to administer your payment and the customer relationship. The transfer of your data to PayPal is therefore based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
Please note, however, that PayPal may also disclose personal data to service providers, subcontractors or other affiliated companies to the extent necessary to fulfill the contractual obligations arising from your order or to process the personal data on your behalf.
Depending on the payment method selected via PayPal, e.g. invoice or direct debit, the personal data transmitted to PayPal will be transmitted by PayPal to credit agencies. This transmission serves to check your identity and creditworthiness in relation to the order you have placed. Which credit agencies are involved and which data is generally collected, processed, stored and passed on by PayPal can be found in PayPal’s privacy policy at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.
Use of Amazon Pay as a payment method
When paying via amazon pay, we share your payment data primarily with Amazon Payments Europe s.c.a., and secondarily by Amazon EU SARL, Amazon Services Europe SARL and Amazon Media EU SARL, all three located at 5, Rue Plaetis L 2338 Luxembourg (hereinafter “Amazon Payments”), as part of the payment processing.
Amazon Payments reserves the right to conduct a credit check. Amazon Payments uses the result of the credit check with regard to the statistical probability of non-payment for the purpose of deciding whether to provide the respective payment method. The credit report may contain probability values (so-called score values). Insofar as score values are included in the result of the credit report, they have their basis in a scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical procedure. Among other things, address data is included in the calculation of the score values.
In addition, Amazon Payments is entitled to share your data with unnamed third parties (banks, e-service providers, service partners, but also auditors, analysis services, credit agencies, marketing partners, cloud service providers, retargeting providers, affiliated companies).
