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 mathematically-statistical procedures using credit agencies. For this purpose, PayPal 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 address data, among other things, in their calculation. Your legitimate interests are taken into account in accordance with legal provisions. Data processing serves the purpose of credit assessment for the initiation of a contract. Processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR due to our overriding legitimate interest in protecting against payment default when PayPal advances funds.
You have the right to object at any time to this processing of personal data concerning you based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, for reasons relating to your particular situation, by notifying PayPal.

This processing takes place on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR.

Data processing serves the purpose of credit assessment for the initiation of a contract. Processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR due to our overriding legitimate interest in protecting against payment default when Ratepay advances funds.
