As far as this Privacy Policy does not contain or imply a different definition, we refer to the definitions in Art. 4 GDPR with regard to the terms used.

5. Processing of your Personal Data

    • Integration of Paddle.com into the checkout process of Aixterior.

All orders of "Credits" are not processed directly through Aixterior but through the UK-based service provider Paddle.com, which acts as a reseller (Paddle.com Market Limited,15 Briery Close, Great Oakley, Corby, Northamptonshire, NN18 8JG, United Kingdom). Thus, when you purchase "Credits", there is no direct contractual relationship between you and Aixterior, but with Paddle.  All personal data that you enter during the checkout process is collected directly by Paddle.com and processed there under their own responsibility.

The integration of Paddle.com into the Aixterior checkout process is necessary for reasons of international tax compliance. Due to international legal requirements, we are obliged to pay VAT on our digital goods directly in the country in which you, our customer, are resident. In practice, we would therefore be accountable to each individual state tax administration and would have to maintain direct contacts with the tax administration in each state. The integration of Paddle.com as a central reseller of credits serves to reduce the administrative effort in the area of tax compliance to a reasonable level, as we sell our digital goods or credits exclusively to a single contractual partner, namely Paddle.com. The integration of Paddle.com into the Aixterior-Shop is based on our aforementioned interests; the legal basis for the integration is therefore Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

In the course of the order processing Paddle.com will set Cookies in the checkout process. These cookies are necessary to complete the order process via Paddle.com. The legal basis for setting cookies is Art. 6 Para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR.

  • paddlejs_campaign_referrer

Used to determine which domain the user comes from. This information is only used when the user completes the purchase.

  • paddlejs_checkout_variant

Is used to test different designs of the checkout.

  • paddle_session

Used to provide customers with the ability to resume an interrupted purchase process.

  • ljs-long

Is used to save the currently selected language.

  • Transfer of data from Paddle.com to us.

After successful payment processing, the data from your order at Paddle.com that is necessary to redeem your purchased credits in "Aixterior Assets" is transferred to us. This serves to enable you to redeem the credits for "Aixterior Assets". We get access to the ordered products, their quantity, your name, your address, your e-mail address, your phone number and the order number of Paddle.com. We do not have access to the details of the payment process, such as account numbers or credit card numbers. We will use these information only to the extent necessary to process your order with Aixterior and to respond to your customer inquiries. This processing of your data is necessary for the fulfilment of the contract. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

We delete these data as soon as we no longer need them to fulfil our contractual obligations and the deletion does not result in any legal obligation to retain them. We review the necessity of data storage every six months.

  • When accessing our Shop

When you access our shop without logging in, i.e. when you do not (yet) register or provide us with information, we or our host provider Domain Factory (domainfactory GmbH, Oskar-Messter-Str. 33, 85737 Ismaning, Germany) collect only the personal data that your browser sends to our server in Germany.

This data is technically necessary for us to display and make our website available to you. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

6. Engagement of Processors

To fulfil our contractual obligations, we rely on the services of carefully selected third parties who process the data on our behalf.
