The purpose of transmitting data is to process the payment and to prevent fraud. We pass on data to PayPal if there is a legitimate interest in doing so. If necessary, PayPal will forward the personal data received to economic intelligence companies in accordance with its data protection declaration. This transmission serves to verify identity and creditworthiness.
