We offer the option of processing the payment process via the payment service provider PayPal (PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg). This corresponds to our legitimate interest in offering an efficient and secure payment method (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO).

The processing of the data provided under this section is not required by law or contract. We cannot process a payment via PayPal without the transmission of your personal data. You have the option of choosing a different payment method.

 PayPal carries out a credit check for various services such as payment by direct debit in order to ensure your willingness and ability to pay. This corresponds to the legitimate interest of PayPal (pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO) and serves the execution of the contract (pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b DSGVO). For this purpose, your data (name, address and date of birth, bank account details) are passed on to credit agencies. We have no influence on this process and only receive the result of whether the payment has been made or rejected or a check is pending
