Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in secure and stable website operation).

4. Payment via PayPal

Orders are paid through PayPal (PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg). When you click the payment button you leave this website. The data you enter at PayPal (name, delivery address, email address, payment details) is processed by PayPal under its own privacy policy (paypal.com/privacy). We receive your name, delivery address, email address and the payment status in order to ship the order and issue the invoice.

The payment section also loads two logo images from a PayPal server (paypalobjects.com). When they are fetched, your IP address is transmitted to PayPal.

Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR (performance of the contract); for the logo images Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.
