2. The customer’s creditworthiness may be checked if there is otherwise a risk of non-payment, ie if the goods are delivered without payment having been received (ie if the customer chooses to purchase on account). On the other hand, there is no risk of non-payment if the customer selects the prepayment option or makes the payment via a third-party provider such as PayPal.
It should also be noted that obtaining an automatic credit check is an “automated decision in individual cases” acc. Art. 22 GDPR, ie a legal decision without human intervention. This is permissible if the customer has consented or 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 for granted, including by the author of this model. However, if you want to eliminate any risk, you should obtain consent.
Consent is also necessary if the credit check is already used to decide whether the option “on account” should be displayed. Because it could have been that the customer would have opted for advance payment or Paypal anyway and the credit check would not have been necessary.
Such consent could, for example, read as follows:
I agree to a credit check being carried out in order to decide in an automated process (Article 22 GDPR) whether the option to purchase on account is offered. Further information on the credit check, the credit agencies used and the procedure as well as the possibility of objection can be found in our [Link]data protection declaration[/Link] .

In the event of a negative result of the credit check, we reserve the right to refuse payment on account or any other advance payment.
14.4. The decision as to whether we will provide advance payment is made in accordance with Art. 22 GDPR solely on the basis of an automated decision in individual cases, which our software makes on the basis of information from the credit agency.

Our newsletter also contains information about our products, offers, promotions and our company.
26.3. Double opt-in and logging: Registration for our newsletter takes place in a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after registration you will receive an e-mail in which you will be asked to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that nobody can register with someone else’s e-mail address. The registrations for the newsletter are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process in accordance with the legal requirements.

26.5. If we use a shipping service provider, the shipping service provider can, according to its own information, use this data in pseudonymous form, i.e. without assignment to a user, to optimize or improve its own services, e.g. for the technical optimization of shipping and the presentation of the newsletter or for statistical purposes, to determine from which countries the recipients come. However, the shipping service provider does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them or pass them on to third parties.
26.6. Registration data: In order to register for the newsletter, it is sufficient if you enter your e-mail address. Optionally, we ask you to enter a name so that we can address you personally in the newsletter.
26.7. Success measurement – The newsletters contain a so-called “web beacon”, ie a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from our server when the newsletter is opened or, if we use a shipping service provider, from their server. As part of this retrieval, technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and time of retrieval, are initially collected. This information is used to technically improve the services based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behavior based on their retrieval locations (which can be determined using the IP address) or the access times. The statistical surveys also include determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to the individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our aim nor, if used, that of the shipping service provider to monitor individual users. The evaluations serve us much more to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users.
26.8. Germany: The sending of the newsletter and the measurement of success are based on the consent of the recipient acc. Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, Art. 7 GDPR in conjunction with Section 7 Para. 2 No. 3 UWG or on the basis of the legal permission acc. § 7 para. 3 UWG.

At the same time, your consent to the success measurement expires. Unfortunately, it is not possible to revoke the success measurement separately. In this case, the entire newsletter subscription must be cancelled. When you unsubscribe from the newsletter, the personal data will be deleted unless their storage is legally required or justified, in which case their processing will only be limited to these exceptional purposes. In particular, we can store the unsubscribed e-mail addresses for up to three years on the basis of our legitimate interests before we delete them for the purpose of sending the newsletter in order to be able to prove a previously given consent. The processing of this data is limited to the purpose of a possible defense against claims. An individual request for deletion is possible at any time, provided that the previous existence of consent is confirmed at the same time.
