Privacy Policy and Data Security

We are very pleased about your interest in our association. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of the BISYOC – European Intercultural Youth Orchestra e.V.. The use of the Internet pages of the BISYOC – European Intercultural Youth Orchestra e.V. is possible without any indication of personal data. However, if a data subject wants to use special services of our association via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If processing of personal data is necessary and if there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation, and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the BISYOC – European Intercultural Youth Orchestra e.V.. By means of this data protection declaration, our association would like to inform the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this data protection declaration.

As the controller, the BISYOC – European Intercultural Youth Orchestra e.V. has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions can always be subject to security vulnerabilities, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

1. Definitions

To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

We use the following terms, among others, in this data protection declaration:

(a) Personal Data

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter “data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

f) Pseudonymisation

Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) Controller or Data Controller

The controller or person responsible for processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the context of a specific investigative task under Union or Member State law shall not be considered as recipients.

j) Third Party

Third party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons authorised to process the personal data under the direct responsibility of the controller or the processor.

Any data subject may contact our data protection officer directly at any time with any questions or suggestions regarding data protection.

3. Cookies

The internet pages of the BISYOC – European Intercultural Youth Orchestra e.V. use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser.

Numerous internet pages and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters by which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the person concerned from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognised and identified via the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, the BISYOC – European Intercultural Youth Orchestra e.V. can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

Through the use of cookies, the information and offers on our website can be optimised for the benefit of the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognise the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter his or her access data each time he or she visits the website, because this is done by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping basket in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping basket via a cookie.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programmes. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

4. Registration as an Association Member or Registration on the Alumni Site

The data subject has the possibility to register on the website of the controller by providing personal data in order to (a) become a member of the association or (b) become a member of the alumni network. In doing so

(a) name, e-mail address, date of birth, gender, postal address, amount of membership fee, payment method (if direct debit is chosen: IBAN and BIC), as well as musical instruments played (optional information)

(b) name, e-mail address, country of origin, as well as information on previous participation in the BISYOC European Intercultural Youth Orchestra e.V. or its predecessor

of the data subject.

The registration of the data subject by providing personal data serves the purpose of the controller to offer the data subject content or services which, by their nature, can only be offered to registered users. The personal data entered by the data subject is used to

(a) contacting, registering and enabling the association’s activities.

(b) contacting, documenting, determining membership eligibility, as well as for exchange purposes with other members.

The legal basis for data processing is therefore Art. 6 para. 1 b DSGVO. The processing of data provided voluntarily is based on Art. 6 para. 1 a DSGVO, the consent of the data subject is explicitly stated.

The controller may arrange for the data to be transferred to one or more processors, for example a parcel service provider, who will also use the personal data exclusively for an internal use attributable to the controller.

By registering on the website of the controller, the IP address assigned by the internet service provider (ISP) of the data subject, the date as well as the time of registration are also stored. The storage of this data takes place against the background that only in this way can the misuse of our services be prevented and, if necessary, this data makes it possible to clarify criminal offences that have been committed. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary for the protection of the data controller and is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 f DSGVO. As a matter of principle, this data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to pass it on or the passing on serves the purpose of criminal prosecution.

Based on Art. 7 (4) and Art. 17 (1) b DSGVO, the data subject may at any time revoke his or her consent and request the deletion of the stored data that was collected on a voluntary basis, without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out up to that point.

Pursuant to Art. 21 (1) and Art. 17 (1) c DSGVO, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the collection of data without explicit consent and to request the deletion of the stored data.

The stored data will be deleted at the end of the respective calendar year after the purpose for which it was collected has ceased to exist. This is usually the case when a member leaves the association or the alumni network. The data may be stored for a longer period of time if the data controller is legally obliged to do so or if the data is required for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims within the meaning of Art. 17 (3) e DSG. Art. 17 para. 3 e DSGVO are required.

5. Subscription to our Newsletter

On the website of the BISYOC – European Intercultural Youth Orchestra e.V., users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our enterprise’s newsletter. For this purpose, the name and e-mail address of the data subject are requested and stored. A confirmation e-mail is sent to the e-mail address specified by the data subject using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email serves to verify whether the owner of the email address as the data subject has authorised receipt of the newsletter and has thus given their consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) f DSGVO.

This personal data collected in the context of a subscription to the newsletter is used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter could be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a related registration, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes in technical circumstances. No personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will be passed on to third parties.

The subscription to our newsletter can be cancelled by the data subject at any time. Pursuant to Art. 7 (4) and Art. 17 (1) b DSGVO, the consent to the storage of personal data that the data subject has given us for the newsletter mailing can be revoked at any time and the deletion of the data can be requested. For the purpose of revoking consent, a corresponding link can be found in each newsletter. Furthermore, it is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter mailing at any time directly on the website of the controller or to inform the controller of this in another way.

When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP), as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a data subject at a later point in time and therefore serves the legal safeguarding of the controller and is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) f DSGVO.

Pursuant to Art. 21 (1) and Art. 17 (1) c DSGVO, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the collection of data without explicit consent and to demand the deletion of the stored data.

The collected data is automatically deleted as a result of unsubscribing from the newsletter mailing. Data may be stored for a longer period if the controller is legally obliged to do so or if the data is required for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims within the meaning of d. Art. 17 para. 3 e DSGVO are required.

6. Newsletter Tracking

The newsletters of the BISYOC – European Intercultural Youth Orchestra e.V. contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in such emails that are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, the BISYOC – European Intercultural Youth Orchestra e.V. may see if and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject, and which links in the e-mail were called up by the data subject.

Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and analysed by the controller in order to optimise the newsletter dispatch and to better tailor the content of future newsletters to the interests of the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties. The evaluation of the data and the associated improvement of the newsletter dispatch is of high importance for the quality of the offer; the processing of the data rests on the basis of Art. 6 (1) f DSGVO.

Pursuant to Art. 21 (1) and Art. 17 (1) c DSGVO, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the collection of data without explicit consent and to demand the deletion of the stored data.

The collected data is automatically deleted as a result of unsubscribing from the newsletter mailing. Data may be stored for a longer period if the controller is legally obliged to do so or if the data is required for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims within the meaning of d. Art. 17 para. 3 e DSGVO are required.

7. Contact Possibility via the Website

Based on statutory provisions, the website of the BISYOC – European Intercultural Youth Orchestra e.V. contains data that enable a quick electronic contact to our association, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes an e-mail address. If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be stored automatically. This data is stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject; the data subject gives consent to the processing of the data transmitted to the controller when contacting the controller. The processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 a DSGVO. This personal data is not passed on to third parties.

Pursuant to Art. 7 Para. 4 and Art. 17 Para. 1 b DSGVO, the data subject may revoke his/her consent at any time and request the deletion of the stored data.

The stored data will be deleted within one year at the latest. Data may be stored for a longer period if the controller is legally obliged to do so or if the data is required for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims within the meaning of d. Art. 17 para. 3 e DSGVO are required.

8. Routine Erasure and Blocking of Personal Data

The controller shall process and store personal data of the data subject only for the period of time necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or where provided for by the European Directive and Regulation or other legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

If the storage purpose ceases to apply or if a storage period prescribed by the European Directive and Regulation Maker or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

9. Rights of the Data Subject

a) Right to Confirmation

Every data subject has the right granted by the European Directive and Regulation to obtain confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning him or her are being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of confirmation, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

b) Right of Access

Any person concerned by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European Directive and Regulation to obtain at any time from the controller, free of charge, information about the personal data stored about him or her and a copy of that information.

Furthermore, the data subject shall have the right to obtain information as to whether personal data have been transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. If this is the case, the data subject shall also have the right to obtain information on the appropriate safeguards in relation to the transfer.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, he or she may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

c) Right of Rectification

Any person concerned by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European Directive and Regulation, to obtain the rectification without delay of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of rectification, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

d) Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten)

Any person concerned by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European Directive and Regulation, to obtain from the controller the erasure without delay of personal data concerning him or her, where one of the following grounds applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary:

  • The personal data were collected or otherwise processed for such purposes for which they are no longer necessary.
  • The data subject revokes the consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) DS-GVO or Art. 9(2)(a) DS-GVO and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
  • The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) DS-GVO and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) DS-GVO.
  • The personal data have been processed unlawfully.
  • The erasure of the personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.

If one of the aforementioned reasons applies, and a data subject wishes to arrange for the erasure of personal data stored by the BISYOC – European Intercultural Youth Orchestra e.V., he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller. The employee of the BISYOC – European Intercultural Youth Orchestra e.V. will arrange for the erasure request to be complied with immediately.

If the BISYOC – European Intercultural Youth Orchestra e.V. has made the personal data public and our association as the controller is obliged to delete the personal data pursuant to Article 17 (1) of the Data Protection Regulation, the BISYOC – European Intercultural Youth Orchestra e.V. shall promptly delete the data in question. shall implement reasonable measures, including technical measures, to permit other data controllers to process the personal data published, taking into account the available technology and the cost of implementation, in order to inform the data subject that he or she has requested from those other data controllers to erase all links to or copies or replications of the personal data, unless the processing is necessary. The employee of the BISYOC – European Intercultural Youth Orchestra e.V. will arrange the necessary in individual cases.


(e) Right to Restriction of Processing

Any person concerned by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European Directive and Regulation, to obtain from the controller the restriction of processing where one of the following conditions is met:

The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.

The processing is unlawful, the data subject objects to the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of the use of the personal data.

The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data subject needs it for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.

The data subject has objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by the BISYOC – European Intercultural Youth Orchestra e.V., he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller. The employee of the BISYOC – European Intercultural Youth Orchestra e.V. will arrange the restriction of the processing.

f) Right to Data Portability

Any data subject concerned by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European Directive and the Regulation, to obtain personal data concerning him or her, which has been provided by the data subject to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. The data subject shall also have the right to transmit such data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data have been provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR and the processing is carried out by automated means, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

Furthermore, when exercising the right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) of the GDPR, the data subject shall have the right to obtain the direct transfer of personal data from one controller to another controller where technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of other persons.

In order to assert the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time contact any employee of the BISYOC – European Intercultural Youth Orchestra e.V..


(h) Automated Decisions in Individual Cases, Including Profiling.

Any data subject concerned by the processing of personal data shall have the right, granted by the European Directive and the Regulation, not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and that such law lays down appropriate measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is made with the data subject’s explicit consent.

If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the data controller, or (2) it is made with the data subject’s explicit consent, the BISYOC – European Intercultural Youth Orchestra e.V. shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, which include at least the right to obtain the intervention of a data subject on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and contest the decision.

10. Data Protection for Applications and in the Application Process

When applying online to participate in the programme of our association, the following data will be collected:

Name, gender, date of birth, e-mail address, telephone number, postal address, country of origin (optional), dress size, information about musical instruments played and related experience, dietary habits, medical needs (optional), emergency contact, travel or health insurance, information about previous participation in the BISYOC European Intercultural Youth Orchestra e.V. or its predecessor (optional). In addition, the upload or provision of an audiovisual recording of the data subject is required.

All of the data collected as part of the application, except those marked as “voluntary information”, are indispensable for the preparation and implementation of the course and therefore necessary to provide the service requested by the data subject. The processing of these data is therefore based on Art. 6 para. 1 b.

For the processing of the voluntary data, the data subject explicitly gives his/her consent in the course of the application procedure. The processing is thus carried out on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 a DSGVO. Pursuant to Art. 7 para. 4 and Art. 17 para. 1 b DSGVO, the data subject has the right to withdraw this consent at any time and to demand the deletion of the stored data.

Personal details, information about musical ability and the audiovisual recording are also passed on to course tutors in the course of the selection procedure. These tutors have been obliged to maintain data secrecy as defined in Art. 5 and Art. 32 (4) DSGVO. They are prohibited from collecting, processing and using the data for purposes other than the preparation and implementation of the course. The data will be deleted after the end of the course until the end of the respective calendar year. Data may be stored longer if the controller is legally obliged to do so or if the data is required for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims within the meaning of d. Art. 17 para. 3 e DSGVO are required.


11. Data Protection Provisions on the Use and Application of Facebook

The controller has integrated components of the company Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network.

A social network is a social meeting place operated on the Internet, an online community that generally enables users to communicate with each other and interact in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences or enables the internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Facebook allows users of the social network, among other things, to create private profiles, upload photos and network via friend requests.

Facebook’s operating company is Facebook, Inc, 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If a data subject lives outside the USA or Canada, the controller of personal data is Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

By each call of one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the data controller and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically caused by the respective Facebook component to download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. A complete overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE. Within the scope of this technical procedure, Facebook receives information about which specific sub-page of our website is visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged into Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognises which specific sub-page of our website the data subject is visiting each time the data subject calls up our website and for the entire duration of the respective stay on our website. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject activates one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example the “Like” button, or if the data subject posts a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores this personal data.

Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is simultaneously logged into Facebook at the time of calling up our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to Facebook, he or she can prevent the transmission by logging out of his or her Facebook account before accessing our website.

The data policy published by Facebook, which can be accessed at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information on the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains which setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, various applications are available that make it possible to suppress data transmission to Facebook. Such applications can be used by the data subject to suppress data transmission to Facebook.

12. Data Protection Provisions on the use and Application of Instagram

The controller has integrated components of the Instagram service on this website. Instagram is a service that qualifies as an audiovisual platform and allows users to share photos and videos and also to redistribute such data in other social networks.

The operator of the Instagram services is Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2 Ireland.

Each time one of the individual pages of this website operated by the data controller is called up and on which an Instagram component (Insta button) has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically caused by the respective Instagram component to download a representation of the corresponding component from Instagram. Within the scope of this technical procedure, Instagram receives knowledge about which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged into Instagram at the same time, Instagram recognises which specific sub-page the data subject is visiting each time the data subject calls up our website and for the entire duration of the respective stay on our website. This information is collected by the Instagram component and assigned by Instagram to the respective Instagram account of the data subject. If the data subject activates one of the Instagram buttons integrated on our website, the data and information thus transmitted will be assigned to the personal Instagram user account of the data subject and stored and processed by Instagram.

Instagram always receives information via the Instagram component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is simultaneously logged into Instagram at the time of calling up our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Instagram component or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to Instagram, he or she can prevent the transmission by logging out of his or her Instagram account before accessing our website.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Instagram can be found at https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388 and https://www.instagram.com/about/legal/privacy/.

13. Data Protection Provisions on the use and Application of Shariff

The controller has integrated the Shariff component on this website. The Shariff component provides social media buttons that are data protection compliant. Shariff was developed for the German computer magazine c’t and is published via GitHub, Inc.

The developer of the component is GitHub, Inc. 88 Colin P. Kelly Junior Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA.

Usually, the button solutions provided by the social networks already transmit personal data to the respective social network when a user visits a website in which a social media button has been integrated. By using the Shariff component, personal data is only transmitted to social networks when the visitor to a website actively clicks on one of the social media buttons. Further information on the Shariff component is provided by the computer magazine c’t at http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Datenschutz-und-Social-Media-Der-c-t-Shariff-ist-im-Einsatz-2470103.html. The purpose of using the Shariff component is to protect the personal data of visitors to our website and at the same time to enable us to integrate a button solution for social networks on this website.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of GitHub can be found at https://help.github.com/articles/github-privacy-policy/.

14. Privacy Policy on the use and Application of YouTube

The controller has integrated YouTube components on this website. YouTube is an Internet video portal that allows video publishers to post video clips free of charge and other users to view, rate and comment on them, also free of charge. YouTube allows the publication of all types of videos, which is why complete film and television programmes, but also music videos, trailers or videos made by users themselves can be accessed via the Internet portal.

The operating company of YouTube is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

Each time one of the individual pages of this website operated by the data controller is called up and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically caused by the respective YouTube component to download a representation of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. Further information on YouTube can be found at https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/de/. Within the scope of this technical procedure, YouTube and Google receive information about which specific sub-page of our website is visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged into YouTube at the same time, YouTube recognises which specific sub-page of our website the data subject is visiting when a sub-page containing a YouTube video is called up. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective YouTube account of the data subject.

15. Payment Method: Data Protection Provisions Regarding PayPal as a Payment Method

The controller has integrated components of PayPal on this website. PayPal is an online payment service provider. Payments are processed via so-called PayPal accounts, which represent virtual private or business accounts. In addition, PayPal offers the possibility of processing virtual payments via credit cards if a user does not have a PayPal account. A PayPal account is managed via an e-mail address, which is why there is no classic account number. PayPal makes it possible to initiate online payments to third parties or to receive payments. PayPal also assumes trustee functions and offers buyer protection services.

The European operating company of PayPal is PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal L-2449, Luxembourg.

If the data subject selects “PayPal” as a payment option during the ordering process in our online shop, data of the data subject will be automatically transmitted to PayPal. By selecting this payment option, the data subject consents to the transmission of personal data required for payment processing.

The personal data transmitted to PayPal are usually first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number or other data necessary for the processing of the payment. Personal data that is necessary for the processing of the purchase contract is also personal data that is related to the respective order.

The purpose of transmitting the data is payment processing and fraud prevention. The controller will transmit personal data to PayPal in particular if there is a legitimate interest for the transmission. The personal data exchanged between PayPal and the controller may be transferred by PayPal to credit reference agencies. The purpose of this transmission is to check identity and creditworthiness.

PayPal may disclose the personal data to affiliated companies and service providers or subcontractors, insofar as this is necessary for the fulfilment of contractual obligations or the data is to be processed on behalf.

The data subject has the option to revoke the consent to the handling of personal data at any time vis-à-vis PayPal. A revocation does not affect personal data that must necessarily be processed, used or transmitted for (contractual) payment processing.
