PillBanana's Internet pages use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system by an Internet browser.

Many Internet sites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters through which Internet sites and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited Internet sites and servers to differentiate the subject's individual browser from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, PillBanana can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie settings.

By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized with the user in mind. Cookies enable us, as mentioned above, to recognize users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. The user of the website using cookies, for example, does not have to enter login data each time the website is accessed, because the website takes care of this, and the cookie is stored on the user's computer system. Another example is a cookie from a shopping cart in an online store. The online store remembers the items a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart through a cookie.

The data subject can, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies via our website by means of the corresponding settings on the Internet browser used and can therefore permanently refuse the setting of cookies. In addition, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all popular Internet browsers.

Payment Method - Data Protection Provisions on the Use of PayPal as a Payment Processor

Payments are processed through so-called PayPal accounts, which represent virtual private or business accounts. PayPal can also process virtual payments through credit cards when a user does not have a PayPal account. A PayPal account is managed through an email address, so there are no classic account numbers. PayPal makes it possible to activate online payments to third parties or to receive payments.

20. Legal basis for processing

Art. 6 (1) illuminated a GDPR serves as a legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, where the processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Article 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries about our products or services. Our company is subject to a legal obligation whereby the processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR.

In exceptional cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor was injured in our company and his or her name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be transmitted to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 (1) lit. d GDPR.
Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6 (1) on. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations that are not covered by any of the above-mentioned legal bases, if the processing is necessary for the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject that require protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. It considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (recital 47, sentence 2, GDPR).

21. Legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party.

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR our legitimate interest is to conduct our business in the best interests of all our employees and stakeholders.

22. Period for which the personal data will be stored

The criterion used to determine the storage period of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the expiration of this period, the respective data is routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.

Provision of personal data as a legal or contractual requirement; Necessary requirement to enter into a contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide such information; 23.

We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information about the contractual partner).

Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data, which we must subsequently process. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company enters into a contract with him or her. Failure to provide personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded.

Before the personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact any employee. The employee clarifies to the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the consequences of failure to provide the personnel. data.

24. Existence of automated decisions

As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision making or profiling.
