6) Use of customer data for direct marketing

6.1 Registration for our e-mail newsletter

If you subscribe to our e-mail newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our offers. The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your e-mail address. The provision of further data is voluntary and will be used to address you personally. For the dispatch of the newsletter we use the so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that we will only send you an e-mail newsletter if you have expressly confirmed to us that you consent to receive newsletters. We will then send you a confirmation e-mail with which you will be asked to confirm by clicking on a corresponding link that you want to receive the newsletter in the future.

By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent for the use of your personal data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. When registering for the newsletter, we store your IP address entered by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration in order to be able to trace a possible misuse of your e-mail address at a later date. The data collected by us when registering for the newsletter will be used exclusively for the purpose of advertising by means of the newsletter. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via the link provided for this purpose in the newsletter or by sending a corresponding message to the person responsible named at the beginning. After unsubscribing, your e-mail address will be deleted immediately from our newsletter distribution list, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use your data beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration.

Managing your communication preferences. If you have a Bulk STOCS account you can turn marketing emails, product-update emails and WhatsApp messages on or off at any time from your account's Communication preferences page . Every marketing email also includes a one-click unsubscribe link. Transactional messages (order confirmations, offer updates, invoices) are service communications and can't be turned off while you have an active account.

6.2 Sending the e-mail newsletter to existing customers

If you have provided us with your e-mail address when purchasing goods or services, we reserve the right to regularly send you offers for similar goods or services, such as those already purchased, from our range by e-mail. For this purpose, we do not have to obtain any separate consent from you in accordance with § 7 Abs. 3 UWG. In this respect, data processing takes place solely on the basis of our legitimate interest in personalized direct advertising in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If you have initially objected to the use of your e-mail address for this purpose, we will not send an e-mail. You are entitled to object to the use of your e-mail address for the aforementioned advertising purpose at any time with effect for the future by notifying the person responsible named at the beginning. For this purpose, you will only incur transmission costs according to the basic tariffs. Upon receipt of your objection, the use of your e-mail address for advertising purposes will be stopped immediately.

7) Data processing for order processing

7.1 Insofar as necessary for the execution of the contract for delivery and payment purposes, the personal data collected by us will be passed on to the commissioned transport company and the commissioned credit institution in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit.b GDPR.

If we owe you updates for goods with digital elements or for digital products on the basis of a corresponding contract, we process the contact data provided by you when ordering (name, address, e-mail address) in order to personally inform you personally within the framework of our legal information obligations in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit.c GDPR by appropriate means of communication (e.g. by post or e-mail) about upcoming updates within the legally provided period inform. Your contact data will be used strictly for a specific purpose for notifications about updates owed by us and will only be processed by us for this purpose to the extent necessary for the respective information.

In order to process your order, we also work together with the following service provider(s), who support us in whole or in part in the execution of concluded contracts. Certain personal data will be transmitted to these service providers in accordance with the following information.

7.2 Use of payment service providers (payment services)

– Stripe
If you opt for a payment method from the payment service provider Stripe, payment will be processed by the payment service provider Stripe Payments Europe Ltd., 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin, Ireland, to whom we will provide your information during the ordering process together with the information about your order (name, address, account number, bank code, possibly credit card number, invoice amount, currency and transaction number) in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit.b GDPR. Further information on Stripe's privacy policy can be found at the URL https://stripe.com/de/privacy#translation.
Stripe reserves the right to carry out a credit check on the basis of mathematical-statistical procedures in order to safeguard the legitimate interest in determining the solvency of the user. Stripe may transmit the personal data necessary for a credit check and received in the context of payment processing to selected credit agencies, which Stripe will disclose to users upon request. The credit report can contain probability values (so-called score values). As far as score values are included in the result of the credit report, they have their basis in a scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical procedure. Among other things, but not exclusively, address data is included in the calculation of the score values. Stripe uses the result of the credit check with regard to the statistical probability of default for the purpose of deciding on the right to use the chosen payment method.
You can object to this processing of your data at any time by sending a message to Stripe or the commissioned credit agencies.
However, Stripe may still be entitled to process your personal data if this is necessary for contractual payment processing.
