Payment Method: Data protection provisions about the use of PayPal and / or Stripe as a payment processor

On this website, the controller has integrated components of PayPal and Stripe. PayPal and Stripe is an online payment service provider. Payments via PayPal are processed via so-called PayPal accounts, which represent virtual private or business accounts. PayPal is also able to process virtual payments through credit cards when a user does not have a PayPal account. A PayPal account is managed via an e-mail address, which is why there are no classic account numbers. PayPal makes it possible to trigger online payments to third parties or to receive payments. PayPal also accepts trustee functions and offers buyer protection services.

Stripe processes payments through Freedom Brewery’s website without the addition of a separate account or details. Your payment details are stored in Stripe to allow us to fulfil our contract between Freedom Brewery LTD and the customer. By processing payments on our website you agree to the transfer of your data to Stripe. You can view the full details of Stripes privacy policy here https://stripe.com/gb/privacy.

The European operating company of PayPal is PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. & Cie. S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, 2449 Luxembourg, Luxembourg.

If the data subject chooses “PayPal” or “Stripe” as the payment option in the online shop during the ordering process, we automatically transmit the data of the data subject to PayPal or Stripe. By selecting this payment option, the data subject agrees to the transfer of personal data required for payment processing.

The personal data transmitted to PayPal or Stripe is usually first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number, or other data necessary for payment processing. The processing of the purchase contract also requires such personal data, which are in connection with the respective order.

The transmission of the data is aimed at payment processing and fraud prevention. The controller will transfer personal data to PayPal or Stripe, in particular, if a legitimate interest in the transmission is given. The personal data exchanged between PayPal and the controller for the processing of the data will be transmitted by PayPal or Stripe to economic credit agencies. This transmission is intended for identity and creditworthiness checks.

PayPal or Stripe will, if necessary, pass on personal data to affiliates and service providers or subcontractors to the extent that this is necessary to fulfill contractual obligations or for data to be processed in the order.

The data subject has the possibility to revoke consent for the handling of personal data at any time from PayPal or Stripe. A revocation shall not have any effect on personal data which must be processed, used or transmitted in accordance with (contractual) payment processing.

The applicable data protection provisions of PayPal may be retrieved under https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.
