Insofar, we share personal data with third parties within the scope specified below:

With Our Service Providers

We may share your information with our service providers who work on our behalf. 
 
In order to properly render our services in form of facilitating sales respectively purchases made between users via our Services, we have to share your name, the delivery address and phone number on behalf of the selling user with third-party service providers respectively fulfillers for manufacturing, printing, logistics or processing services.

Further, we are entitled to outsource the processing of personal data (completely or partially) to external service providers which are acting on our behalf as data processors in the meaning of Art. 4 no. 8 GDPR. When such third-party service providers are located outside of the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA), we will put in place appropriate safeguards in accordance with the requirements set by law and data protection authorities to ensure that your personal data is duly protected. For example, these data processors may handle payment or credit card processing, data management, customer data pooling or aggregating, feature administration, email distribution, market research, information analysis, and promotions management. These service providers will only have access to the information needed to perform these limited functions on our behalf.

For example, we take reasonable measures to limit access to this data to authorized employees and contractors who need to know that information in order to operate, develop or improve our Services.
