Data processing serves the purpose of offering you payment via the payment service. By selecting and using payment via PayPal, credit card via PayPal, direct debit via PayPal, or "Pay Later" via PayPal, the data required for payment processing will be transmitted to PayPal in order to fulfill the contract with you using the selected payment method.

For this purpose, PayPal transmits the personal data required for a credit check to a credit agency and uses the information obtained regarding the statistical probability of a payment default to make a balanced decision regarding the establishment, implementation, or termination of the contractual relationship. The credit report may contain probability values ​​(score values) calculated based on scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical procedures, which include, among other things, address data. Your legitimate interests will be considered in accordance with the statutory provisions. The data processing serves the purpose of a credit check for the initiation of a contract.
