The legal basis for this processing is Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR.
(3) Categories of recipients
Payment service providers, shipping service providers, hosting providers, merchandise management system if applicable, suppliers (dropshipping) if applicable.

We retain the data required by commercial and tax law for the periods specified by law, usually ten years (cf. § 257 HGB, § 147 AO).
The data processed for the implementation of pre-contractual measures will be deleted as soon as the measures have been carried out and it is recognizable that no contract is concluded.
