2. Categories of data and purposes of processing

Data in connection with bob pay later: If you wish to conclude a financing agreement with your seller within the framework of our bob pay later offer, certain data will be collected from you by the seller. The seller may transfer your personal and transaction-related data to us. We cannot influence the processing of your data by the seller. The data protection declaration of the seller applies.

On the one hand, we receive certain personal master data (surname, first name, date of birth) and contact data (e-mail address and postal address). We need this data to contact you if necessary, and for billing and reminders (by SMS, e-mail or letter post) regarding the outstanding amount of the claim in accordance with your financing agreement with the seller.

In addition, we need certain details about your financial circumstances (in particular monthly income, expenses, existing loans and debt collection) in order to check your creditworthiness. Only then is it possible to decide whether financing is an option. If the credit check is successful, we will ask you to send us a copy of your identification document and your mobile phone number for the purpose of clearly verifying the personal master data you have provided.

Direct marketing: If you give us your consent, we will use your email address, shopping cart and certain demographic data to send you attractive offers and relevant information about our products.
