The transfer of your data in this case is solely for the purpose of payment processing with the provider and only to the extent necessary for this.

If you select a payment method where we pay in advance, you will also be asked during the order process to provide certain personal data (first and last name, street, house number, postal code, city, date of birth, email address, telephone number, if applicable, data on an alternative means of payment).

To safeguard our legitimate interest in determining your ability to pay in such cases, this data will be forwarded by us to the provider for the purpose of a credit check in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The provider checks, based on the personal data you provide and other data (such as shopping cart, invoice amount, order history, payment experience), whether the payment option you have selected can be granted with regard to payment and/or default risks.

The credit report may contain probability values (so-called score values). If score values are included in the result of the credit report, they are based on a scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical procedure. Address data, among other things, but not exclusively, is included in the calculation of the score values.

You can object to this processing of your data at any time by sending a message to us or to the provider. However, the provider may still be entitled to process your personal data if this is necessary for contractual payment processing.
