By analyzing the anonymized data, we can monitor and improve the stability and availability of our website over an extended period of time.
The temporary (automated) storage of the data is necessary for the course of a website visit to enable the website to be delivered. The storage and processing of personal data also serves to maintain the compatibility of our website for as many visitors as possible, as well as to combat misuse and resolve malfunctions. To this end, it is necessary to log the technical data of the accessing computer so that we can respond as quickly as possible to display errors, attacks on our IT systems, and/or malfunctions in our website’s functionality. In addition, the data helps us optimize the website and generally ensure the security of our IT systems.
2.4. Duration of Storage
The aforementioned technical data is deleted as soon as it is no longer needed to ensure the website’s compatibility for all visitors, but no later than 3 months after the website is accessed.

4. Automated Credit Check / Scoring
If you wish to enter into a contract with us, we reserve the right to process your personal data exclusively by automated means to assess your creditworthiness. We are also authorized to make such an automated decision pursuant to Article 22(2)(a) of the GDPR. Whether or not the contract can be concluded depends on the result of the automated credit check. During a credit check, statistical probabilities of default are calculated. The credit report may include probability values (score values) calculated using scientifically recognized mathematical and statistical methods. In this process, a variety of factors—such as income, address information, occupation, marital status, and past payment history—are used to assess the customer’s future risk of default. The result is expressed as a payment value (known as a “score”). The information obtained in this way forms the basis for our decision regarding the establishment, execution, or termination of a contractual relationship. If you believe that you have been wrongfully excluded from entering into a contract as a result of the credit check, you are welcome to explain your position to us via email. We will then review the automated decision in accordance with Article 22(3) of the GDPR on a case-by-case basis. In order to conduct the credit check, we are permitted to store and process your personal data in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.
Based on the pending contract, we will transfer your data to the following provider(s) in the cases listed below:
4.1. Automatic Identity and Credit Check When Selecting the “PayPal” Payment Method

If you give your consent, the following data will be transferred: first and last name, street, house number, ZIP code, city, date of birth, phone number, and data related to your order.
(b) Legal basis for the processing of personal data
: Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR (implementation of (pre)contractual measures)
(c) Purpose of data processing
When the “PayPal” payment method is selected, PayPal conducts a credit check. In doing so, mathematical and statistical methods are used to calculate a rating regarding the probability of payment default (known as the calculation of a scoring value). PayPal bases its decision on whether to provide the respective payment methods on the calculated scoring value. The calculation of a scoring value is performed according to recognized scientific methods. Please also refer to PayPal’s Privacy Policy: https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full
(d) Duration of Storage

(c) Purpose of data processing
For the purpose of identity and creditworthiness checks, Klarna transmits data to credit reporting agencies and receives information from them, as well as, where applicable, creditworthiness information based on mathematical-statistical methods, the calculation of which incorporates, among other things, address data (so-called “score values”). This provides Klarna with information regarding the statistical probability of default, which serves as the basis for decisions regarding the establishment, performance, or termination of the contractual relationship. However, the ability to select one of the offered payment methods prior to the conclusion of the contract is not dependent on such information.

Based on specific characteristics and an analysis of user behavior on the site, the service determines whether the entries made are the result of automated input by a program (a so-called “bot”) or by a human. The service has three different levels. Either the service automatically recognizes that the input is not automated by a bot, or it prompts the user to check a CAPTCHA checkbox. A third option involves displaying small image, audio, or text tasks that the website visitor must complete. Google reCAPTCHA is a CAPTCHA service used on our website for security reasons to prevent bots (robot programs) from interacting with our website. Google reCAPTCHA verifies on our behalf that only humans—and not bots—can use our website. This allows us, in particular, to protect the specific features of our website (e.g., contact forms or other input fields such as the login area) from unauthorized access.
For the processing itself, the service—or we—collect the following data: user behavior (e.g., mouse gestures or input behavior), IP address, browser data, and computer information.
If you wish to use the input fields on our website that are protected by Google reCaptcha, you must allow the use of Google reCaptcha and, if necessary, solve the corresponding CAPTCHAs. If you do not complete the CAPTCHA or do not allow the use of Google reCAPTCHA, you will not be able to use the form protected by the CAPTCHA. Alternatively, you can use our other contact options (e.g., mail or email) at any time.
You may revoke your consent at any time. You can find more detailed information on revoking your consent either in the consent form itself or at the end of this Privacy Policy.

When you visit a page that contains such a plug-in, your browser automatically establishes a background connection to Facebook’s servers. The content of the plug-in is transmitted directly from Facebook to your browser and merely integrated into our page. Through this integration, Facebook receives the information that your browser has loaded a specific page of our website. This applies even if you do not have a Facebook profile or are not currently logged in to Facebook. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a Facebook server in Ireland and stored there. If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can immediately associate your visit to our website with your Facebook profile. If you interact with the plug-ins—for example, by clicking the “Like” button or posting a comment—this information is also transmitted directly to a Facebook server and stored there. The information is also published on your Facebook profile and displayed to your Facebook contacts whom you have authorized to view it. Processing also takes place in a third country for which no adequacy decision has been issued by the Commission. Therefore, the level of protection customary under the GDPR cannot be guaranteed during transmission, as it cannot be ruled out that, for example, government authorities in the third country may access the collected data.

(d) Duration of Storage
Facebook will store the data relevant to the provision of the web service for as long as necessary. To the extent that the data is subject to statutory retention requirements, it will be deleted upon expiration of the retention period.
(e) Right to Object and Right
to Erasure If you do not want the Facebook social plugin to run, you can prevent it from doing so by installing an appropriate add-on or script blocker. If you do not want Facebook to associate the data collected via our website with your Facebook profile, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website. The options for objection and deletion are otherwise governed by the general provisions regarding the right to object and the right to erasure under data protection law, as described later in this Privacy Policy.

When you visit a page that contains such a plug-in, your browser automatically establishes a background connection to Instagram’s servers. The content of the plug-in is transmitted directly from Instagram to your browser and merely integrated into our page. Through this integration, Instagram receives the information that your browser has loaded a specific page of our website. This applies even if you do not have an Instagram profile or are not currently logged in to Instagram. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to an Instagram server in Ireland and stored there. If you are logged in to Instagram, Instagram can immediately associate your visit to our website with your Instagram profile. If you interact with the plug-ins—for example, by clicking the “Like” button or posting a comment—this information is also transmitted directly to an Instagram server and stored there. The information is also published on your Instagram profile and displayed to your Instagram contacts whom you have authorized to view it. Processing also takes place in a third country for which no adequacy decision has been issued by the Commission. Therefore, the level of protection required by the GDPR cannot be guaranteed during transmission, as it cannot be ruled out that, for example, government authorities in the third country may gain access to the collected data.
(b) Legal basis for the processing of personal data
: Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR (if you have registered with “Instagram”) and Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR (if you have not registered with Instagram). To the extent that processing is based on Article 6(1), sentence 1, subparagraph (f) of the GDPR, the website operator’s legitimate interest lies in enabling users to interact with the website operator’s content on Instagram.
(c) Purpose of Data Processing
