Credit card via PayPal, direct debit via PayPal & "Pay later" via PayPal
For individual payment methods such as credit card via PayPal, direct debit via PayPal or “Pay later” via PayPal, PayPal reserves the right to obtain a credit report based on mathematical-statistical procedures using credit agencies. To do this, PayPal transmits the personal data required for a credit check to a credit agency and uses the information received on the statistical probability of a payment default to make a balanced decision about the establishment, implementation or termination of the contractual relationship. The credit report may contain probability values (score values) that are calculated on the basis of scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical procedures and whose calculation includes, among other things, address data. Your legitimate interests are taken into account in accordance with the statutory provisions. The data processing serves the purpose of the credit check for the initiation of a contract. The 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 if PayPal makes advance payments.
You have the right to object to this processing of personal data concerning you based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR at any time by notifying PayPal for reasons arising from your particular situation. The provision of the data is necessary for the conclusion of the contract with the payment method you have requested.

Local third-party providers can be, for example:
purchase on account via PayPal
When paying using the purchase on account payment method, the data required for payment processing is first sent to PayPal.

This processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
