3. Data collection on the website
Order and order processing
Our order offers are primarily directed at the business-to-business (B2B) model. Orders are processed exclusively via the supplier companies registered with us. As a website operator, we provide the necessary framework for this with our "B2B web portal". Shipping and payment processing are carried out in the name and on behalf of the relevant providers. When ordering products via the "B2B web portal", only personal data (including email address, surname, first name, address, VAT ID) is collected, which is required for the completion of the contract and is only made available by us to the respective provider in the event of an order for further processing. This contractual data is stored by us for the duration of the contractual relationship or for the fulfillment of the contract. Notwithstanding this, we will also store your data for longer if this is required by statutory retention obligations. In this case, the processing of the data is limited to compliance with the statutory retention periods and the data is no longer processed for any other purposes. For further information on the use of your personal data sent by us to the provider in the context of order processing, please contact the respective provider company directly. All providers have made a commitment to us to treat your personal data in accordance with the applicable requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
To place orders via our B2B web portal, you as a customer must set up a free and password-protected customer account. You can find more information about this under the point Registration. If you as a customer leave the order process on our website, you will be logged out automatically. We, as the operator, assume no liability for password misuse, unless this was caused by the operator itself.
For orders, the payment method "PayPal" is usually applied. For this purpose, your personal data (first and last name, delivery address, e-mail address, telephone number, the amount to be paid and the IP address) are transmitted to Paypal (Europe) S.à.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, 2449 Luxembourg) so that you can authorize the payment to the respective product provider vis-à-vis PayPal. For this you need a PayPal account. In addition, PayPal offers the possibility to process virtual payments via credit cards if a user does not maintain a PayPal account.
The legal basis for the data processing associated with this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO, i.e. the processing of your data is necessary for the fulfillment of the agreement on a payment of your purchase via PayPal. The data transmitted to PayPal may be transmitted by PayPal to credit agencies. This transmission serves the identity and credit assessment. You can find more information about data protection at PayPal on the PayPal website at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.

Each time one of the individual pages of this website operated by the data controller is called up and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically caused by the respective Facebook component to download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. A complete overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE. Within the scope of this technical procedure, Facebook receives information about which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.
If you are logged in to Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognizes which specific subpage of our website you have visited each time you visit our website and for the entire duration of your respective stay on our website. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the person concerned. If you click one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example the "Like" button, Facebook assigns this information to your personal Facebook user account and stores this personal data.

Further information on the Twitter buttons is available at https://about.twitter.com/de/resources/buttons. Within the scope of this technical procedure, Twitter receives knowledge of which specific subpage of our website is visited by you.
