Integration of third-party services

It may happen that third party services (e.g. videos from YouTube) are integrated within our online offer. This always assumes that a provider such as YouTube is aware of your IP address. Otherwise he wouldn't be able to send the contents to you. We have no control over how such third party providers store and process your IP address. If you purchase something in our shop, you can pay by the payment service PayPal. From our shop the order number, the amount of money and your identification data are transferred to PayPal in secure mode. PayPal will then send a request for payment to you, which you will comply with in the usual way. After the receipt of payment on our PayPal account we will receive an email notification that the amount of money has been received. Your name, the amount of money and the order number will be given to us. We use this personal data only for the purpose of correct processing of the payment. This is in our legitimate interest and is in accordance with Art 6, Paragraph 1, lit. f GDPR. We have no influence on the internal data processing processes at PayPal. We do not pass any information in this regard on to other institutions. We have to keep the data for 10 years, after that they will be destroyed.
