Automatic creditworthiness check / scoring

If we provide products or services in advance of payment, we reserve the right to obtain automatic credit information on the basis of mathematical-statistical procedures from the following company(s) in order to safeguard our legitimate interests. We receive information about the statistical probability of non-payment from the service provider named below. The credit information can contain probability values (score values), which are calculated on the basis of scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical methods. A large number of features, such as income, address data, occupation, marital status, and previous payment behaviour are used to assess the customer's future risk of non-payment. The result is expressed in the form of a payment probability (so-called score). The information thus obtained forms the basis of our decision on the establishment, execution, or termination of a contractual relationship. However, the payment methods offered do not depend on such information.

The possibilities of objection and removal are based on the general regulations on the right of objection and deletion under data privacy laws, described below in this Privacy Policy.

By activating IP anonymization within the Google Analytics tracking code of this website, your IP address is made anonymous by Google Analytics before transfer.

Google Tag Manager

• Scope of processing of personal data

You have the right to receive the information you gave us that personally concerns you back from us in a structured, standard and machine-readable format. You can also request us to immediately transmit this data to a third party at your instruction, to the extent that the processing is based on consent according to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract as per Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR and the processing is carried out by us in the context of automated data handling.
In the exercise of this right to data portability, you also have the right to have the personal data in question directly transmitted from one responsible party to another responsible party, to the extent that this is technically possible. Freedoms and rights of other persons may not be hereby restricted.
The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data required for execution of a task that lies in the public interest or results in the exercise of official authority assigned to the responsible party.

Right to complain to the supervisory authority pursuant to Art. 77 I GDPR

Regardless of this, you have the option of contacting a supervisory authority. You have the right of appeal in the EU Member State of your place of residence, your place of work, and/or the place of the alleged infringement, i.e. you can choose the supervisory authority to which you will complain from among the locations named above. The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been lodged will then inform you of the status and results of your complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Art. 78 GDPR.
