E. Disclosure
We do not sell, lend or lease any of your customer information and only disclose it to third parties for the following purposes:
 
Service providers who help us to provide our services or offer payment processing services to us:
We use the services of other companies for parcel shipments and delivery of letters. When you pay within our services by PayPal, direct debit, credit card or pay upon invoice we will disclose your payment information to PayPal Inc. To protect the security of your information during transmission we use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts the information transmitted. The data disclosure to PayPal is necessary to process the payment and to provide necessary customer services in order to resolve disputes (e.g., billing or transactional disputes).
 
All service providers are only given access to the personal information they need to perform the requested tasks. They are bound by contract not to use the information for any other purpose and especially are not allowed to sell, lend or lease the personal information given by us or to use it for any marketing purposes.
 
Law enforcement or governmental agencies, regulatory authorities, or authorized third-parties, and as authorized by law:
The disclosure of information can be necessary to comply with our legal requirements, enforce our terms and conditions or our privacy statement, to prevent, detect, mitigate, and investigate fraud or illegal acts in connection with our services, to protect anyone's rights, property or safety, or in response to a verified request relating to a criminal investigation or suspected illegal activity or any other activity that may expose us, you, or any other of our users to legal liability. We will only disclose information we deem relevant to the investigation or inquiry, such as name, address, postal code, city, country, telephone number, email address, IP address, and fraud complaints. The disclosure to authorized third-parties involved in a legal proceeding is possible, if they provide us with a subpoena, court order or substantially similar legal procedure, or we otherwise believe in good faith that the disclosure of information is necessary to prevent imminent physical harm or financial loss or to report suspected illegal activity.
 
We minimize the amount of personal information we disclose to what is directly relevant and necessary to accomplish the specified purpose. Whenever we disclose personal information to countries outside of the European Economic Area, we will ensure that the information is disclosed as described above and in accordance with this privacy statement and as permitted by the German laws on data protection.
