You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you. Payment Service Provider: Use of PayPal Express We use the PayPal Express 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 payment via the PayPal Express payment service. To integrate this payment service, it is necessary for PayPal to collect, store, and analyze data (e.g., IP address, device type, operating system, browser type, location of your device) when you access the website. Cookies may also be used for this purpose. The cookies enable the recognition of your browser. The processing of your personal data 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 to this processing of your personal data at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation. By selecting and using PayPal Express, 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. Further information on data processing when using the PayPal Express payment service can be found in the corresponding privacy policy at www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full?locale.x=de_DE#Updated_PS. Use of PayPal Checkout: 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 payment 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 in this process, which enable the recognition of your browser. The resulting data processing is based on Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR, stemming from our overriding legitimate interest in offering a customer-oriented range of payment methods. You have the right to object to this processing of your personal data at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation. 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, if necessary, based on mathematical-statistical procedures 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) that are calculated using scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical procedures and whose calculation incorporates, among other things, address data. Your legitimate interests will be taken into account in accordance with legal regulations. 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 advance payment. You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to this 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 concluded with your chosen payment method. Third-party providers: When paying via a third-party payment method, the data required for payment processing will be 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) and Google Pay (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland). 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. The processing is based on Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR, stemming from our overriding legitimate interest in protecting against payment defaults when Ratepay provides services in advance. Further information on data protection and which credit agencies Ratpay uses can be found at https://www.ratepay.com/legalpayment-dataprivacy/ and https://www.ratepay.com/legal-payment-creditagencies/.

Use of social plug-ins We use social network plug-ins on our website. The integration of social plugins and the associated data processing serve the purpose of optimizing advertising for our products. When social plugins are integrated, a connection is established between your computer and the servers of the social network providers. The plugin is then displayed on the page by sending a message to your browser, provided you have expressly consented to this. In this process, both your IP address and information about which of our pages you have visited are transmitted to the provider's servers. This applies regardless of whether you are registered with or logged into the social network. Even unregistered or logged-out users are subject to this transmission. If you are simultaneously connected to one or more of your social network accounts, the collected information can also be associated with your corresponding profiles. When you use the plugin functions (e.g., by clicking the button), this information is also associated with your user account. You can prevent this association by logging out of your social media accounts before visiting our website and before activating the buttons. The use of cookies or similar technologies is based on your consent pursuant to Section 25 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 of the German Telemedia Act (TDDG) in conjunction with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of the GDPR. The processing of your personal data is based on your consent pursuant to Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of the GDPR.

Use of social plugins via the "2-click solution": We use social network plugins on our website via the "2-click solution." This means that no connection to the servers of the social networks is established and consequently no data is transmitted without your explicit consent. When plugins are integrated in the standard way, a connection is established between your computer and the servers of the social network provider when you visit pages on our website that contain such a plugin. The plugin is then displayed on the page by sending a message to your browser. In this process, both your IP address and information about which of our pages you have visited are transmitted to the provider's servers. This applies regardless of whether you are registered with or logged into the social network. Even unregistered or logged-out users are subject to this transmission. If you are also logged into the Facebook social network, this information will be associated with your personal user account. When you use the plugin functions (e.g., by clicking the button), this information will also be associated with your user account, which you can only prevent by logging out before using the plugin. To ensure you retain control over your data, we have decided to initially deactivate the corresponding button. You can recognize this by the grayed-out button. Without your explicit consent – in the form of activating the button – no connection to the social network's server will be established, and consequently, no data will be transmitted. Only when you activate the button will it become active (highlighted) and a direct connection to the social network's servers will be established. By activating the button, you consent to the transfer of your data to the respective social network provider. This includes, among other things, your IP address and information about which of our pages you have visited. If you are simultaneously logged into one or more of your social network accounts, the collected information will also be associated with your corresponding profiles. You can only prevent this association by logging out of your social network accounts before visiting our website and before activating the buttons. The social networks listed below are integrated using the "2-click function."

Use of YouTube: We use the YouTube video embedding function on our website, provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; "YouTube"). YouTube is a company affiliated with Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). This function displays videos stored on YouTube within an iFrame on the website. The "Enhanced Privacy Mode" option is enabled. This means that YouTube does not store any information about visitors to the website.
