§ 7 Payment Methods at PROFISHOP

For the provision of the payment methods at PROFISHOP, the personal data required will be forwarded to one of the following partners, depending on the selected payment method:

(1) Credit check by CRIF Bürgel

We carry out a credit check before concluding the purchase agreement. This is done to check whether we can offer you the payment method Purchase on account (according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR) and to protect us in the event of a possible payment default. In addition, the credit check serves your and our security, as this prevents fraud and other crimes (according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR). For credit checks, we transmit the personal data required for a credit check (first and last name, your address and, if applicable, your date of birth) to the following credit service providers: CRIF Bürgel GmbH, Radlkoferstraße 2, 81373 Munich, Germany.

This service provider uses the aforementioned data transmitted by us to carry out a corresponding assessment of your creditworthiness with regard to the respective order on the basis of mathematical-statistical procedures (scoring). Furthermore, this service provider uses the aforementioned data for other companies (e.g. other online retailers) for the purpose of address verification or identity checks as well as for scoring applications based on this. Your address data is also taken into account during the calculation of the probability value. Under certain circumstances, a conclusion could be drawn based on negative characteristics. If you do not agree with the payment methods offered to you, you can inform us thereof in writing by letter or by email to privacy@profishop.us. We will then review the decision again, taking into account your point of view. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future in writing or in text form, that is by sending an e-mail to datenschutz@profishop.de, as well as receive information from us about the stored data and the service provider we use to assess creditworthiness (at the above addresses).

As far as score values are included in the result of the credit check, they have their basis in a scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical procedure. Address data, among other things, but not exclusively, are included in the calculation of the score values.

(12) LinkedIn Insight

The website of PROFISHOP uses LinkedIn Insight. The LinkedIn Insight tag allows you to collect information about visits to your website, including URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser properties (user agent), and time stamps. The IP addresses are truncated or hashed (if they are used to reach members across devices). Members' direct identifiers are removed within seven days to pseudonymize the data. This remaining pseudonymized data will then be deleted within 180 days.

LinkedIn does not share personal data with the owner of the website, but only provides reports and communications (in which you are not identified) about the website audience and ad performance. LinkedIn also offers retargeting for website visitors, so that the owner of the website can use this data to display targeted advertising outside the owner’s website without the member being identified. We also use data that does not identify you to improve the relevance of ads and to reach members across devices. LinkedIn members can control the use of their personal information for advertising purposes in their account settings.

(13) Google Places API (Address completion)

The PROFISHOP website uses the Google Places API Web Service for Google's automatic address completion. Provider of the service is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA

In order to receive this information from Google, your IP address and your entered content will be transmitted to Google in the address field.

For data production, the browser you use must connect to Google's servers. As a result, Google becomes aware that our website has been accessed via your IP address. Such use by Google takes place within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. A legitimate interest is the simplification of the address information on our website.
