6.2 Use of Payment Service Providers (Payment Services)

• PayPal

If payment is made via PayPal, credit card via PayPal, direct debit via PayPal, or – if offered – "purchase on account" or "installment payment" via PayPal, I will pass on your payment data to PayPal (Europe) S.a.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (hereinafter "PayPal"), as part of the payment processing. The transfer takes place in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR and only to the extent necessary for the payment processing.

For this purpose, your payment data may be passed on to credit agencies in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR based on PayPal's legitimate interest in determining your solvency. The result of the credit check in relation to the statistical probability of non-payment is used by PayPal to decide on the provision of the respective payment method. The credit report can 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.

7. Rights of the Data Subject

7.1 The applicable data protection law grants you comprehensive data subject rights (rights of access and intervention) vis-à-vis the controller regarding the processing of your personal data, which I inform you about below:

**- Right of Access according to Art. 15 GDPR:** You have the right to obtain information about your personal data processed by me, the purposes of the processing, the categories of personal data processed, the recipients or categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period or the criteria for determining the storage period, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, objection to processing, complaint to a supervisory authority, the origin of your data if it was not collected from you by me, the existence of automated decision-making including profiling, and, if applicable, meaningful information about the logic involved and the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for you, as well as your right to be informed of what safeguards exist according to Art. 46 GDPR when your data is transferred to third countries;

**- Right to Rectification according to Art. 16 GDPR:** You have the right to demand the immediate rectification of inaccurate data concerning you and/or the completion of your incomplete data stored by me;

**- Right to Erasure according to Art. 17 GDPR:** You have the right to request the erasure of your personal data if the conditions set out in Art. 17(1) GDPR are met. This right, however, does not exist particularly if the processing is necessary for exercising the right to freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims;

**- Right to Restriction of Processing according to Art. 18 GDPR:** You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data as long as the accuracy of your data contested by you is being verified, if you refuse the erasure of your data due to unlawful data processing and instead request the restriction of the processing of your data, if you need your data to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims after I no longer need this data once the purpose has been achieved, or if you have objected to processing for reasons relating to your particular situation as long as it is not yet clear whether my legitimate reasons prevail;

**- Right to Notification according to Art. 19 GDPR:** If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to communicate this rectification or erasure of data or restriction of processing to all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.

In the event of withdrawal, I will delete the data concerned immediately, provided that further processing cannot be based on a legal basis for consentless processing. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out based on the consent until the withdrawal;

**- Right to Lodge a Complaint according to Art. 77 GDPR:** You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, workplace, or the place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR, without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

**7.2 Right to Object**

If we process your personal data based on our overriding legitimate interest in the context of a balance of interests, you have the right to object to this processing at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation, with effect for the future. If you exercise your right to object, we will stop processing the data concerned. However, further processing is reserved if we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that override your interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms, or if the processing serves to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

**Notes on Data Processing in Connection with Google Analytics**

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the controller responsible for data processing on this website is located outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, the data processing of Google Analytics will be carried out by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are hereinafter referred to as "Google."

Google Analytics uses "cookies," which are text files placed on the visitor's computer, to help analyze how users use the website. The information generated by the cookie about the use of this website by visitors (including the shortened IP address) is generally transmitted to a Google server and stored there.

Google Analytics is used exclusively with the extension "_anonymizeIp()" on this website. This extension ensures anonymization of the IP address by shortening it and excludes direct personal reference. With this extension, Google will shorten the IP address within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address transmitted by the respective browser within the framework of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

On behalf of the site operator, Google will use this information to evaluate the use of the website, compile reports on website activities, and provide further services related to website and internet use to the site operator (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The legitimate interest in data processing lies in the optimization of this website, the analysis of the use of the website, and the adaptation of the content. The interests of users are sufficiently protected by pseudonymization.

Google LLC provides a guarantee based on the standard contractual clauses to maintain an adequate level of data protection. The data sent and linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g., User-ID), or advertising IDs will be automatically deleted after 50 months. The deletion of data whose retention period has been reached occurs automatically once a month.

The collection by Google Analytics can be prevented by the site visitor adjusting the cookie settings for this website. The collection and storage of the IP address and data generated by cookies can also be objected to at any time with effect for the future. The corresponding browser plugin can be downloaded and installed via the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

To protect your inquiries via the internet form, we use the reCAPTCHA service of Google LLC (Google). The query serves to distinguish whether the input is made by a human or abusively by automated, machine processing. The query includes the transmission of the IP address and possibly other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. For this purpose, your input is transmitted to Google and further used there. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the framework of reCAPTCHA is not merged with other data from Google.
