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 if necessary on the basis of mathematical-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) which are calculated on the basis of scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical procedures and whose calculation includes, among other things, address data. Your legitimate interests are taken into account in accordance with legal provisions. The data processing serves the purpose of credit checking for contract initiation. The processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR due to our overriding legitimate interest in protection against payment default when PayPal makes advance payments. 
You have the right to object to this processing of your personal data based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation by notifying PayPal. The provision of data is required for the conclusion of the contract with the payment method you desire.

This processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
