Payments are processed through so-called PayPal accounts, which are virtual private or business accounts. PayPal also offers the option of processing virtual payments via credit cards if a user does not have a PayPal account. A PayPal account is managed via an e-mail address, which is why there is no classic account number. PayPal makes it possible to initiate online payments to third parties or to receive payments. PayPal also acts as a trustee and offers buyer protection services.

By selecting this payment option, the person concerned consents to the transfer of personal data required for payment processing.

The purpose of data transmission is to process payments and prevent fraud. The data controller will transfer personal data to PayPal in particular if there is a legitimate interest in the transfer.
