Collection and processing when using the revocation button
If you have concluded a contract via our online presence, we will provide you with a revocation function (revocation button) through which you can immediately submit your declaration of revocation.
When you use the revocation function, we collect your personal data (name, email address, information to identify the contract or part of the contract you wish to revoke, as well as the time (date and hour) of sending the declaration of revocation) only to the extent provided by you. The data processing serves the purpose of providing you with the legally prescribed option to revoke your contract and for the proper processing of your revocation.
If the contact concerns a contract already concluded between you and us, this data processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Otherwise, the data processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR, to fulfill a legal obligation to provide you with a revocation function on our online presence.

Your collected personal data will be transmitted to the servers of the aforementioned third-party providers when you use the revocation function.

The processing of your personal data serves the purpose of legally complying with the requirements for the design of the revocation function and is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. This data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR due to our overriding legitimate interest in being able to provide you with a user-friendly revocation option.

Payment Service Provider

Using Shopify Payments

We use the payment service "Shopify Payments" provided by Shopify International Limited (2nd Floor Victoria Buildings, 1-2 Haddington Road, Dublin 4, D04 XN32, Ireland; "Shopify") on our website. Payment processing in this case is handled by the payment service provider Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd. (1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin, Ireland; "Stripe"). Data processing serves the purpose of enabling you to pay via the Shopify Payments payment service. By selecting and using a corresponding "Shopify Payments" payment method, the data required for payment processing is transmitted to Stripe in order to fulfill the contract with you using the chosen payment method. This processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Stripe reserves the right to obtain a credit check based on mathematically-statistical procedures using credit agencies. For this purpose, Stripe transmits the personal data required for a credit check to a credit agency and uses the information received about the statistical probability of a payment default for a balanced decision on the establishment, execution or termination of the contractual relationship. The credit report may contain probability values (score values) calculated on the basis of scientifically recognized mathematically-statistical procedures, which include, among other things, address data in their calculation. Your legitimate interests are taken into account in accordance with legal provisions. Data processing serves the purpose of a credit check for the initiation of a contract. Processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR due to our overriding legitimate interest in protection against payment default when Stripe makes advance payments. You have the right, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object at any time to this processing of your personal data based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR by notifying Stripe. The provision of data is necessary for the conclusion of the contract with the payment method you have chosen. Failure to provide it means that the contract cannot be concluded with the payment method you have chosen. Further information on data processing when using the Shopify Payments payment service can be found in Shopify's privacy policy at: https://www.shopify.com/de/legal/datenschutz.
