Thank you for visiting our website https://wafdog.com/ and your interest in our company and our offers. Despite careful content control, we do not assume any liability for external links to external content, as we did not initiate the transmission of this information, did not select or change the addressee of the transmitted information and did not change the transmitted information itself.

The protection of your personal data during the collection, processing and use on the occasion of your visit to our Internet pages is an important concern for us and is carried out within the framework of the legal regulations, about which you can find out more information e.g. at www.bfdi.bund.de.

In the following, we explain which information we collect during your visit to our website and how this information is used:

1. Collection and storage of personal data and the nature and purpose of their use

a) When visiting the website
Every time a customer (or other visitor) accesses our website, information is automatically sent to the server of our website by the Internet browser used on your end device (computer, laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.). This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file.

The following data is recorded without your intervention and stored until it is automatically deleted:

  • (pseudonymised) IP address of the requesting computer, as well as device ID or individual device identification and device type,
  • Name of the retrieved file and transferred data volume, as well as date and time of the retrieval,
  • Message about successful retrieval,
  • Requesting domain,
  • Description of the type of Internet browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your terminal device and the name of your access provider,
  • Your browser history and your standard weblog information,

Our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 cl. 1 lit. f GDPR to collect the data is based on the following purposes:

  • To ensure a smooth connection and comfortable use of the website,
  • Evaluation of system security and stability and
  • for other administrative purposes.

Under no circumstances do we use the collected data for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person.

b) Upon conclusion of a contractual relationship
When concluding a contractual relationship (e.g. registration for WAFDog) we ask you to provide the following personal data:

  • e-mail address and a password of your choice
  • name, (invoice-) address,
  • VAT ID or tax number, if applicable,
  • the information about your means of payment,
  • other personal data which we are legally obliged or entitled to collect and process and which we need for your authentication, identification or to check the data we have collected.

The above-mentioned data is processed for the purpose of handling the contractual relationship. The processing of the data takes place on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 cl. 1 lit. b GDPR. The storage period is limited to the purpose of the contract and, if applicable, legal and contractual storage obligations.

c) Use of payment service providers
For processing the contractual relationship with you, we also work together with the following payment service provider. The legal basis for the disclosure of any data is Art. 6 para. 1 cl. 1 lit. b GDPR.

  • PayPal
  • If you choose to pay via "PayPal", after confirmation of the conclusion of the contract, you will be transferred directly via an interface to the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg "PayPal"), where you can enter your payment details and select the payment method you wish to use with PayPal and then process the payment. Please note that PayPal's privacy policy applies to this. For information on the processing of your personal data by PayPal and your rights, please refer to the PayPal Privacy Policy (https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full).
    As a precautionary measure, we would like to point out that PayPal reserves the right to carry out a credit check if PayPal is to make an advance payment due to its legitimate interest in determining your solvency (Art. 6 para. 1 cl. 1 lit. f GDPR). For this purpose, PayPal may pass on your payment data to credit agencies. The result of the credit assessment with regard to the statistical probability of non-payment may contain probability values (so-called score values), which are calculated on the basis of scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical methods and in whose calculation address data, among other things, are included. According to PayPal, your interests worthy of protection are taken into account in accordance with the statutory provisions. For further information, especially regarding your rights, please refer to the PayPal privacy policy (https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full).
  • 2. Disclosure of personal data

    Your data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.

    We only pass on your data to third parties if:

    • you have given your express consent to do so in accordance with (Art. 6 para. 1 cl. 1 lit. a GDPR),
    • this is necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you (Art. 6 para. 1 cl. 1 lit. b GDPR),
    • there is a legal obligation to disclose (Art. 6 para. 1 cl. 1 lit. c GDPR)

    In these cases, however, the scope of the transmitted data is limited to the necessary minimum.

    Our data protection regulations are in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations and the data is only processed in the Federal Republic of Germany.
