2. Checking the creditworthiness of a customer is permitted if there is otherwise a risk of default, ie if the goods are delivered without the payment having arrived (ie if the customer chooses to purchase on account). On the other hand, there is no risk of default if the customer chooses the prepayment option or makes the payment via third party providers such as PayPal.

It should also be noted that obtaining an automatic credit report constitutes “automated decisions in individual cases” in accordance with Art. 22 GDPR, ie a legal decision without human involvement. This is permissible if the customer has consented or if this decision is necessary for the conclusion of the contract. Whether the decision is necessary has not yet been finally clarified, but is often taken as given, including by the author of this sample. However, if you want to exclude any risk, you should obtain consent.

Consent is also necessary if the credit report is already being used to decide whether the option “on account” should be displayed. Because it could have been that the customer would have opted for prepayment or PayPal anyway and the credit check would not have been necessary.

Such consent could be, for example, as follows:

I consent to a credit check being carried out in order to decide in an automated process (Art. 22 GDPR) whether the option of purchase on account is offered.

In the event of a negative credit check result, we reserve the right to refuse payment on account or any other advance payment.

14.4. The decision as to whether we make advance payments is made in accordance with Art. 22 GDPR solely on the basis of an automated decision on a case-by-case basis, which our software makes on the basis of information from the credit agency.

18.3. Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our online offer by users, to compile reports on the activities within this online offer and to provide us with other services related to the use of this online offer and internet usage. In doing so, pseudonymous user profiles can be created from the processed data.

18.4. We only use Google Analytics with activated IP anonymization. This means that the IP address of the user is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The full IP address is only transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there in exceptional cases.

19. Google Re / Marketing Services
    19.1. On the basis of our legitimate interests (ie interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR), we use the marketing and remarketing services (“Google Marketing Services” for short ”) From Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, (“ Google ”).

19.3. The Google Marketing Services allow us to display advertisements for and on our website in a more targeted manner in order to only present users with advertisements that potentially correspond to their interests. If, for example, a user is shown advertisements for products that he was interested in on other websites, this is referred to as “remarketing”. For these purposes, when our and other websites on which Google Marketing Services are active are accessed, Google immediately executes a code from Google and so-called (re) marketing tags (invisible graphics or code, also known as “web Beacons ”) integrated into the website. With their help, an individual cookie, ie a small file, is saved on the user’s device (comparable technologies can also be used instead of cookies). The cookies can be set by various domains, including google.com, doubleclick.net, invitemedia.com, admeld.com, googlesyndication.com or googleadservices.com. This file records which websites the user has visited, which content he is interested in and which offers he has clicked, as well as technical information on the browser and operating system, referring websites, visiting time and other information on the use of the online offer.

If the user then visits other websites, they can be shown advertisements tailored to their interests.

19.4. The user data is processed pseudonymously as part of the Google Marketing Services. In other words, Google does not store and process the name or email address of the user, for example, but processes the relevant cookie-related data within pseudonymous user profiles. In other words, from Google’s point of view, the ads are not managed and displayed for a specifically identified person, but for the cookie owner, regardless of who this cookie owner is. This does not apply if a user has expressly allowed Google to process the data without this pseudonymisation. The information collected about users by Google Marketing Services is transmitted to Google and stored on Google’s servers in the USA.

19.5. The Google marketing services we use include the online advertising program “Google AdWords”. In the case of Google AdWords, each AdWords customer receives a different “conversion cookie”. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information obtained with the help of the cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. The AdWords customers find out the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified.

19.11. If you would like to object to interest-based advertising by Google Marketing Services, you can use the setting and opt-out options provided by Google: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated .

Furthermore, when using the Facebook pixel, we use the additional function “extended comparison” (data such as telephone numbers, email addresses or Facebook IDs of the users) to create target groups (“Custom Audiences” or “Look Alike Audiences”) Facebook (encrypted) transmitted. Further information on the “extended comparison”: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/611774685654668 ).

20.3. With the help of the Facebook pixel, Facebook is on the one hand able to determine the visitors of our online offer as a target group for the presentation of advertisements (so-called “Facebook ads”). Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixel to only display the Facebook ads placed by us to Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online offer or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products that are based on the visited Websites) that we transmit to Facebook (so-called “Custom Audiences”).

With the help of the Facebook pixel, we can also understand the effectiveness of the Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users have been redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called “conversion”).

20.4. The processing of the data by Facebook takes place within the framework of Facebook’s data usage guidelines. Accordingly, general information on the display of Facebook ads can be found in Facebook’s data usage guidelines: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php.

21.2. Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee to comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active).

21.3. When a user calls up a function of this online offer that contains such a plugin, his device establishes a direct connection with the Facebook servers. The content of the plug-in is transmitted directly from Facebook to the user’s device, which integrates it into the online offer. In doing so, usage profiles of the users can be created from the processed data. We therefore have no influence on the amount of data that Facebook collects with the help of this plugin and therefore informs users according to our level of knowledge.

21.4. By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that a user has called up the corresponding page of the online offer. If the user is logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to his Facebook account. When users interact with the plugins, for example by pressing the Like button or making a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted directly from your device to Facebook and stored there. If a user is not a member of Facebook, there is still the possibility that Facebook will find out his IP address and save it. According to Facebook, only an anonymized IP address is saved in Germany.
