E-commerce & payment providers
Processing of customer and contractual data
Within our company, those employees receive your data who need it to fulfill contractual, consented as well as legal obligations or legitimate interests. In addition, order processors, partner companies and partners commissioned by us receive your data if they require the data to fulfill their respective contractual services. All order processors and partners are contractually obligated to treat your data confidentially and to process it only within the agreed scope.
Some of the named recipients (e.g. partners, processors) may be located outside your country or the EU or process your personal data there. The level of data protection in other countries may not correspond to that of your country. For example, companies in the USA are obliged to disclose personal data to security authorities without data subjects being able to take legal action against them. We only transfer your personal data to such recipients for the purpose of fulfilling a contract. In the case of your express consent to data transfer to third countries, the data processing is also based on Art 49 para 1 lit a GDPR. If the data transfer is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract, your data will be processed based on Art 6 para 1 lit b GDPR.
If there is a legal or supervisory obligation, public bodies and institutions may be recipients of your personal data.
Data may be used to analyze or predict the behavior of users of our services. However, the data will not be used for any automated decision-making.
