4. Data protection of minors

Our website is not intended for minors and we do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.

Any person under the age of 16 transfering personal data to us, has to get permission of the parent or guardians. For this purpose, the contact details of the parent or legal guardian must be communicated to us in accordance with Article 8 Para 2 DSGVO (GDPR) in order to show us that consent of the parents or the legal guardian has been given. This data as well as the the data of the minor will then be processed in accordance with this Data Protection Policy.

If we find that a minor under the age of 16 has sent us personal information without the parent's consent, or consent of the guardian, we will promptly delete the information.

5. Purpose of data processing and legal basis

The processing of your personal data takes place for the following purposes based on the following legal basis:

Initiation and settlement of contracts in accordance with Article 6 Para 1 (b) DSGVO (GDPR)
Applicant selection procedure in accordance with Article 6 Para 1 (a) (b) DSGVO (GDPR) i.V.m. § 26 BDSG-new (Federal Data Protection Act)

Ensuring the proper operation of a data processing system in accordance with Article 6 Para 1 (c) (f) DSGVO (GDPR)

6. Data access

The access to your personal data stored by us is limited to our employees, and the service providers that we entrust to handle this personal data due to their tasks.

If third parties have access to your data, we have to obtain permission from you, or there is a legal basis for this.

We also use service providers for the provision of services and processing of your data (e.g. for hosting, the newsletter dispatch, the delivery of goods ordered, the payment processing, the sending of letters or e-mails as well as maintenance and analysis of databases, security of our web servers or for website tracking).

As far as these special provisions apply, we have carried these out in the following with the respective service for you. The service providers process the data exclusively on instructions from us and have been obliged to comply with the applicable data protection regulations. All processors have been carefully selected and will only have access

to your data that is necessary for the provision of the services, or to the extent to which you have consented to the processing and use of the data.

7. Data exchange within the relexa group

Data exchange within the group of companies to which we belong takes place exclusively within the EU / EEA and serves only for internal administrative purposes. By "group of companies" we mean affiliated companies within the meaning of Article 4 (No.19) DSGVO (GDPR).

8. Transfer of data to third countries and legal basis

The servers of some of the providers we use are located in the United States and other countries outside the European Union. In these countries companies are subject to a data protection law that generally does not protect personal data to the same extent as member states of the European Union. If your data is processed in a country that does not have a recognized level of data protection, such as the European Union, we will use contractual or other recognized means to ensure that your personal data is adequately protected. In the context of individual services, we explicitly point this out to you.

If a transfer of personal data takes place to third countries, this is done on the basis of the adequacy decision of the EU Commission on the EU-US Privacy Shield pursuant to Article 45 DSGVO (GDPR) or the EU Standard Contract 2010 pursuant to Article 46 Para 2 (c) DSGVO (GDPR) i.V.m. with the decision of the European Commission dated 05.02.2010 (2010/87/EU) or on the basis of your consent in accordance with Article 49 Para 1 (a) DSGVO (GDPR).

9. Transfer of data to law enforcement authorities

In exceptional cases, we provide personal data to law enforcement agencies. This happens based on corresponding legal obligations, for example from the Code of Criminal Procedure, the Regulation of Taxation, the Money Laundering Act or the State Police Act.

10. Retention period

We retain personal data within the scope of statutory provisions or your given consent.
In order to determine the actual retention period, we use the following criteria:

We retain personal data until the purposes for which it was collected are voided (e.g. upon termination of a contractual relationship or by the last activity, if there is no permanent agreement, or in case of withdrawal of your consent for the specific data processing).

Retention beyond that takes place only if

statutory retention obligations (e.g. according to AO (German Tax Code) and HGB (Commercial Code)) exist
the data is still needed to assert and exercise legal rights or to defend against legal claims, e.g. due to technological and forensic requirements to prevent attacks on our web servers and their prosecution
the deletion would be contrary to the legitimate interest of the data subjects
any other derogation in accordance to Article 17 Para 3 DSGVO (GDPR) applies

In this context we might also process the data for credit checks, provided this is necessary for the execution of the contract, Article 6 Para 1 (b) DSGVO (GDPR), or we have a legitimate interest according to Article 6 Para 1 (f) DSGVO (GDPR). Our legitimate interest exists when the conclusion of a contract with you is imminent, so that a financial default risk is coupled to us and the conclusion of the contract is dependent on your creditworthiness.

We also forward the data necessary for the execution of the payment and if necessary the risk management to the payment service provider chosen by you. The following additional information and regulations apply to this:

19.1. Payment method PayPal

Within our online shop, we enable you to make payments using the payment service provider; PayPal. The payment is processed either via your PayPal or via PayPal using your credit card or bank account. PayPal also offers buyer protection and fiduciary services.

By selecting the payment service provider PayPal via the online shop, data is transferred automatically to PayPal. Herein you expressly consent to the transfer of personal data (first and last name, address, e-mail address, IP address, telephone number (s), order data, delivery data) for the purpose of carrying out the payment and the prevention of fraud.

The exchange of data takes place not only for the purpose of carrying out the payment, but also identification, fraud prevention and the reduction of our default risk, and in this case also data on past purchase and payment behaviour are exchanged. PayPal also exchanges data with credit bureaus, provided that they have a legitimate interest and do not conflict with the interests of the person concerned.

Data may be passed on to affiliated companies; this also applies to downstream service providers (processors, joint controllers and third parties, insofar as necessary for the execution of the contract).

You may revoke this consent to PayPal at any time with immediate effect. Revocation does not have effect on transfers carried out in the past.

The current privacy policy for PayPal is available at https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.

Data recipient: PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. & Cie. S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, 2449 Luxembourg, Luxembourg

When you select the payment method "credit card", data is automatically transferred to our service provider. Herein you expressly consent to the transfer of personal data (first name and surname, address, purchase price) for the purpose of carrying out the payment by credit card as well as fraud prevention.

You can revoke this consent at any time with immediate effect towards our service provider. Revocation does not have any effect on transfers carried out in the past.

Recipient of the data: please insert name, address of the service provider (If a service provider from a third country is used here, then if necessary, Point 22 must be used).

19.3 Payment method Sofortüberweisung (immediate payment transfer)

Within our online shop, we allow payment by means of Sofortüberweisung using the payment service provider SOFORT GmbH.

By means of the above payment method, a real-time payment confirmation is possible to us, so that we can start with the delivery of your order immediately.

As long as it is necessary, data on past purchase and payment behaviour are exchanged. In this context, the SOFORT GmbH data are also exchanged with credit bureaus, provided that there is a legitimate interest and does not prevent the interests of the person concerned being protected.

You can withdraw the above consent at any time with effect for the future from SOFORT GmbH. Revocation has no effect on past transmissions.

The current data protection regulations of SOFORT GmbH can be found at https://www.sofort.com/ger-DE/datenschutzerklaerung-sofort-gmbh/.
