1.2.2. Creditworthiness and transmission to credit bureaus

ratiostraps.com  generally grants its customers the option of purchasing goods using insecure payment methods.

Generally speaking, there are two types of payment mechanism offered:

Secure, online and,

Non-secure offline.

To protect our business interests, ratiostraps.com  might in certain instances, check the creditworthiness of its customer before granting the option of using insecure payment methods.

Within this framework, ratiostraps.com  is entitled to use negative credit information, which it has collected for the respective customer. Furthermore, ratiostraps.com  is entitled to provide negative credit information about the respective customer to the other business associates of ratiostraps.com. This is done in order to minimize the prospect of losses on account of fraud.

In cases where a customer opts to use insecure means of payment, ratiostraps.com  is entitled to use credit information obtained in the order to calculate probability of non-payment and fraud. This calculation is done via internal scoring and is based on a recognized mathematical statistical procedure. In particular, the data used in internal scoring results from a combination of the following data categories: address data, age, desired payment terms, order path, and assortment groups. As part of the internal scoring, only such data are used, which the customer has indicated to us. As part of the examination of whether an insecure payment method can be granted, we are also entitled to obtain credit information about you from an external credit agency.

For the purpose of soliciting credit information, the following information is transmitted to the external credit reporting agency: first name, last name, postal address, date of birth.

As part of the credit check, we can decide by means of an automated process whether you are granted the desired insecure payment method (instalment / invoice payment). For example, when submitting a negative credit report by an information agency or when calculating an insufficient score within the scope of the internal scoring, a rejection of the desired payment method can be carried out automatically. You can assert the right for us to make a manual review of the automated decision. In addition, you have the right to make your own views and to challenge the decision.

The processing of your data as part of the credit check is carried out on the basis of Article 6 (1) (b) DSGVO and Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. In principle, we have a legitimate interest in the execution of a credit check when selecting an insecure payment method (instalment / invoice purchase) by you.

1.10.6.2. Important Notes on Protecting Your Data

In today’s connected world, unauthorized access to personally identifiable information is a reality that individuals and businesses face every day. That’s a big challenge without question.

Since privacy is our highest priority, we invest in the security of our systems and constantly monitor them. Because when you buy online at the Website you entrust us with information about yourself. The security of this information is important to us. Since you too can do something to protect against the unauthorized access of third parties to your information, we would like to give you some advice on how to handle your information safely.

How can I protect my personal information?

Basically: Protect your customer account and also your computer, laptop or your mobile device with secure passwords and PIN codes that only you know! Also make sure to log out after every online purchase on the Website.

Make sure that you always use your passwords for just one account! Never use a password for different providers or portals. Check if you can use the password chosen for the Website on other websites as well. If this is the case, we strongly advise you to change all passwords immediately.

Do not write down the passwords in a freely accessible location. Again, make sure that only you have access to the passwords.

How do I create a secure password?

Passwords should be chosen so that they cannot be easily guessed, for example, no common words from everyday life, the name or names of relatives. To make the password even more secure, the combined use of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters is recommended.

Are there any other things I should consider?

If you ever use a publicly accessible computer, always make sure that you log out after your visit to ratiostraps.com.

If you receive unsolicited e-mails without concrete contact, asking you to provide the Website passwords or giving details of payment details, please ignore this and contact us immediately at cs@ratiostraps.com. We will investigate these incidents.
