Privacy policy
Privacy policy
Unless otherwise stated below, the provision of your personal data is neither required by law or by
contract, nor is it necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide the data.
Failure to provide it has no consequences. This applies only insofar as no other information is given in the
processing operations described below.
"Personal data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.
Collection, processing and use of personal data when placing orders
When you place an order, we collect and use your personal data only insofar as this is necessary to fulfil
and process your order and to deal with your enquiries. Providing the data is necessary for the conclusion
of the contract. If it is not provided, no contract can be concluded. The processing is carried out on the
basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR and is necessary for the performance of a contract with you. Your data will
not be passed on to third parties without your express consent. The only exceptions to this are our service
partners whom we require in order to process the contractual relationship, or service providers whom we use
for processing on our behalf. In addition to the recipients named in the respective clauses of this privacy
policy, these include, for example, recipients of the following categories: shipping service providers,
payment service providers, merchandise management service providers, service providers for order processing,
web hosts, IT service providers and dropshipping retailers. In all cases we strictly observe the statutory
requirements. The scope of the data transmitted is kept to a minimum.
Use of the e-mail address for sending newsletters
Irrespective of the processing of the contract, we use your e-mail address exclusively for our own
advertising purposes in order to send newsletters, provided that you have expressly consented to this. The
processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR with your consent. You may withdraw your
consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the
consent up to the point of withdrawal. At the same time, we point out that by consenting to receive our
newsletter you agree that eBay evaluates your usage behaviour with regard to the newsletter and makes this
data available to us in order to improve the newsletter. You can unsubscribe from or manage the newsletter
at any time, for example in "My eBay" under "Saved sellers" via the menu "more actions - edit list of saved
sellers", or by contacting us directly. You will find our contact details in the legal disclosure. Your
e-mail address will then be deleted from our newsletter subscriber list.
Duration of storage
Once the contract has been fully processed, the data is first stored for the duration of the warranty
period, thereafter in accordance with the statutory retention periods, in particular those under tax and
commercial law, and is then deleted once the period has expired, unless you have consented to further
processing and use.
Rights of the data subject
Where the statutory requirements are met, you have the following rights under Art. 15 to 20 GDPR: the right
of access, to rectification, to erasure, to restriction of processing and to data portability.
You also have a right to object under Art. 21 (1) GDPR to processing which is based on Art. 6 (1) f GDPR, as
well as to processing for the purposes of direct marketing.
Please contact us if you wish to do so. You will find our contact details in our legal disclosure.
Right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority
In accordance with Art. 77 GDPR you have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority if
you believe that the processing of your personal data is not lawful.
