§ 3 Special agreements regarding offered payment methods

Use of personal data when choosing Klarna as payment method
If you have chosen Klarna's payment services, such as Klarna Invoice and/or Klarna Deferred Payment as a payment option, you have given your consent for us to collect and pass on to Klarna the following personal data, necessary for the processing of the purchase on account and an identity and credit check: first and last name, address, date of birth, gender, e-mail address, IP address, telephone number, as well as the data necessary for the processing of the purchase on account and related to the order, such as the number of items, item number, invoice amount and taxes in percent. The data processing is intended to offer the payment methods of purchase on account and deferred payment, as well as the necessary credit assessment. The processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 sub a GDPR with your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time by informing us, without this affecting the lawfulness of the processing up to the point of withdrawal.

The transfer of this data takes place so that Klarna can create an invoice and perform an identity and credit check for the processing of your purchase with the invoice processing you requested. Klarna needs the buyer's personal data to obtain information from credit agencies for the identity and credit check. In Germany, these can be the following credit agencies:

  • Schufa Holding AG, Kormoranweg 5, 65203 Wiesbaden, Germany.
  • Bürgel Wirtschaftsinformationen GmbH & Co. KG, PO Box 5001 66, 22701 Hamburg, Germany.
  • Creditreform Bremen Seddig KG, Contrescarpe 17, 28203 Bremen, Germany.
  • infoscore Consumer Data GmbH, Rheinstrasse 99, 76532 Baden-Baden, Germany.

In the context of the decision on the establishment, execution or termination of the contractual relationship, Klarna collects and uses, in addition to an address check, information about the buyer's past payment behavior and probability values ​​for this behavior in the future. The calculation of these score values ​​by Klarna is based on a scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical method. Klarna uses your address data for this purpose, among other things. If this calculation shows that your creditworthiness is not sufficient, Klarna will inform you of this immediately.

Withdrawal of the use of personal data at Klarna

  1. You can withdraw your consent to the use of personal data at any time from Klarna. However, Klarna may continue to process, use and transfer your personal data to the extent necessary to process payments through Klarna's services under the contract, as required by law, or as required by a court or government authority.
  2. You are of course entitled to receive information about the personal data that Klarna has stored at any time. This right is guaranteed by the Federal Data Protection Act. If you as a buyer wish to do this or wish to report changes to the stored data, you can contact datenschutz @klarna .de .
