You have the option to revoke your consent to the handling of personal data from PayPal at any time. A revocation does not affect personal data that must be processed, used or transmitted for contractual payment processing.

We would like to point out that there is a possibility that personal data may be transferred to the USA and processed by US authorities. The parent company PayPal is headquartered in the USA.

This company is not certified in accordance with the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. PayPal has undertaken to comply with the standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data to third countries in accordance with Directive 2016/679 (Standard Contractual Clauses - SCC). 

For more information on the Standard Contractual Clauses, please visit 
https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/standard-contractual-clauses-scc_de.

Despite the Standard Contractual Clauses we have concluded with PayPal, these regulations may not be sufficient to ensure the effective protection of personal data transferred to the USA in practice. 

Further information can be found in PayPal's privacy policy

PayPal is not a processor within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 8 GDPR. It has its own responsibility. 

Legal Basis
The legal basis for the processing of personal data during a booking or payment process is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
