Payment service providers      

Use of Shopify Payments
We use the payment service "Shopify Payments" from Shopify International Limited (2nd Floor Victoria Buildings, 1-2 Haddington Road, Dublin 4, D04 XN32, Ireland; "Shopify") on our website. In this case, payment processing is carried out by the payment service provider Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd. (1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin, Ireland; "Stripe").

This processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR.
Stripe reserves the right to obtain credit information based on mathematical-statistical methods using credit agencies. To this end, Stripe transmits the personal data required for a credit check to a credit agency and uses the information obtained about the statistical probability of a payment default to make a balanced decision about the establishment, execution or termination of the contractual relationship. The credit report may contain probability values (score values) that are calculated on the basis of scientifically recognised mathematical-statistical methods and which include address data, among other things, in their calculation. Your interests worthy of protection will be taken into account in accordance with the statutory provisions. The purpose of data processing is to check creditworthiness for the initiation of a contract. Processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR due to our overriding legitimate interest in protection against payment default when Stripe makes advance payments.
You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR for reasons arising from your particular situation by notifying Stripe. The provision of data is necessary for the conclusion of the contract with your desired payment method.

Use of Facebook Connect
Our website uses the single sign-on function Facebook Connect from Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. (Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin, D02, Ireland; "Facebook").
Meta Platforms Ireland and we are jointly responsible for the collection of your data and the transfer of this data to Facebook when the service is integrated. The basis for this is an agreement between us and Meta Platforms Ireland on the joint processing of personal data, in which the respective responsibilities are defined. The agreement is available at https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum. According to this agreement, we are responsible in particular for the fulfilment of the information obligations in accordance with Art. 13, 14 GDPR, for compliance with the security requirements of Art. 32 GDPR with regard to the correct technical implementation and configuration of the service, and for compliance with the obligations in accordance with Art. 33, 34 GDPR, insofar as a violation of the protection of personal data affects our obligations under the agreement on joint processing. Meta Platforms Ireland is responsible for enabling the rights of the data subject in accordance with articles 15-20 of the GDPR, for complying with the security requirements of article 32 of the GDPR with regard to the security of the service, and for complying with the obligations of articles 33, 34 of the GDPR, insofar as a breach of personal data protection concerns Meta Platforms Ireland's obligations under the joint processing agreement.
This function enables website visitors to log on to the website via their already existing Facebook account. The processing of data serves the purpose of verification during registration, personalisation and for interest-related advertising. To offer this function on the website a connection to the Facebook servers is established. Cookies are used for this purpose. In this process the following information, inter alia, can be collected and transmitted to Facebook: IP address, browser information, referrer URL (website via which you accessed our website), location data. This happens regardless of whether you are registered with or logged into the social network. The information is transferred even if users are not registered or logged in.

You can therefore prevent this assignment by logging yourself out before visiting our website and before activating the button for your social media accounts. Your data may be transmitted to the USA. For the USA, there is an adequacy decision of the EU Commission, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). Meta has certified itself in accordance with the TADPF and has thus undertaken to comply with European data protection principles.
