In general, the processing of personal data is only done to the extent necessary for the provision of a functional website including contents and services. Regular processing of data is only done upon consent of the data subject. As an exception, the processing of data is done without consent of the data subject if this is not possible for practical reasons and the processing of data is permitted by legal provisions.
Art. 6 (1) point (a) GDPR serves as legal basis for the processing of personal data in so far as the consent of the data subject has been obtained for the processing of personal data.
Art. 6 (1) point (b) GDPR serves as legal basis for the processing of personal data insofar as this is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a contractual party. This also applies to processing necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.
Art. 6 (1) point (c) GDPR serves as legal basis for the processing of personal data insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a legal obligation to which the company is subject.
Art. 6 (1) point (f) GDPR serves as legal basis for the processing of personal data insofar as this is necessary for the processing for the protection of a legitimate interest of the company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the former interest.
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the data storage is no longer applicable. Storage beyond this purpose can be done if this is required by relevant national or European regulations. Blocking or deleting of the data is also done when a retention period prescribed by the aforementioned regulations expires unless further storage of data is required for the conclusion or performance of a contract.
With each visit to the website, the system automatically records data and information from the computer system of the calling computer.
The following data are collected:
The website from which you entered this website
The data are saved in the log files of the system. Storage of this data together with other personal user data does not take place.
The legal basis for this is art. 6 (1) point f GDPR.
The collection and temporary storage of the IP address is necessary to enable the presentation of the website on your device. For this, your IP address has to be saved for the duration of your visit of the website. An analysis of these data for marketing purposes does not take place.
The data are deleted when the respective session is ended. If these data are saved in log files, this is done at the latest after seven days. Storage beyond this is possible. In this case, the users’ IP addresses are deleted or alienated so that they can no longer be assigned to the calling client.
The collection of data for the availability of the website and the storage of data in log files for availability of the website are absolutely necessary. Therefore, there is no possibility of appeal.
The website offers users to register by entering personal data. For this, the data is entered into an input mask, then transmitted and saved. A transfer to a third party does not take place. The following data is collected:
Time and date of the registration
Commercial users are also required to enter the company name, the VAT ID and the phone number. Where applicable, a tax statement is required pursuant to section 22f (1) sentence 2 VAT Act. Users who use our platform as non-commercial sellers are required to enter their birth date in addition to the above mentioned data.
During the registration process the user’s consent for the processing of these data is obtained with reference to the privacy policy.
The legal basis for this, upon consent of the user, is art. 6 (1) point (a) GDPR. If the registration serves the performance of a contract to which the user is a contractual party or serves the implementation of pre-contractual measures, art. 6 (1) point (b) GDPR is an additional legal basis for the processing of data. As far as we are obliged to process data of commercial users and private sellers, the legal basis is art. 6 (1) point (c).
The registration of the user is required to set up a customer account. It serves to identify the user and to perform the user contract via the service. The data entered by commercial users or private sellers are collected for the fulfillment of our legal obligations to the financial authorities.
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the fulfilment of the purpose for which they were collected. This is the case during the registration process for the performance of a contract or the implementation of pre-contractual measures if the data is no longer required for the implementation of the contract. Even after conclusion of the contract, it may be required to save personal data of the contractual partner to meet contractual or legal obligations.
Data subjects may modify at any time the user data (except their name and birthday) in their user profile under www.cardmarket.com/Account. Where the data is required for the performance of a contract or the implementation of pre-contractual measures, an advance deleting of data is only possible in so far as the deletion is not barred by contractual or legal obligations. If the recorded name or birthday is incorrect, please reach out to our customer support team to correct the data.
To use the online marketplace, inventory data (e.g. names and addresses as well as contact data of users, user names of authorised users) and contract data (e.g. services used, names of contact persons, payment information) are processed as well as the IP address and the time of the respective user intervention, the user ID and the accessed URLs. This data is stored in the log files of our system. Apart from that, data of third parties entered by the user are processed.
The legal basis for the processing of data upon consent of the user is art. 6 (1) point (a) GDPR. The consent is obtained upon conclusion of the contract.
Additional legal basis for the processing of data is art. 6 (1) point (b) GDPR, as the processing of the specified data serves to perform a contract to which the user is a contractual party or to implement pre-contractual measures.
Furthermore, processing is done to improve our services for the benefit of the analysis, optimisation and the economic operation of our website for the purposes of art. 6 (1) point (f) GDPR.
Purpose of the processing
of third party data entered by the user is the implementation of the contract and the provision of the contracted services.
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for the fulfilment of the purpose for which they were collected. This is the case for the data collected during the registration process for the performance of a contract or the implementation of pre-contractual measures if the data is no longer required for the implementation of the contract. Even after conclusion of the contract, it may be required to save personal data of the contractual partner to meet contractual or legal obligations (especially fiscal retention periods).
Data subjects may modify or delete the saved data at any time. Where the data is required for the performance of a contract or the implementation of pre-contractual measures, an advance deleting of data is only possible in so far as the deletion is not barred by contractual or legal obligations.

The website uses “Twitter Ads”, an advertising service of Twitter Inc., 795 Folsom St., Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA (in the following short: “Twitter”) in order to track users’ behaviour after they have viewed or clicked on a Twitter ad. The recorded data is collected anonymously and serves analysis for market research purposes. Twitter can connect this data to an existing Twitter account and use it for their own advertising purposes according to the Twitter data use policy.
The user can enable Twitter as well as their partners to place ads on and off Twitter. Furthermore, cookies may be saved to your computer for these purposes.
Twitter Ads will only be activated if you have given consent via our cookie banner. Therefore, the legal basis for the processing is the user’s consent pursuant to art. 6 (1) point a GDPR. \
The website uses Twitter Ads for marketing and optimisation purposes, particularly to place relevant and interesting ads, to improve reports on campaign performance or to avoid that the same ads are viewed several times. This is also the legitimate interest in the processing of the above data.

YouTube's privacy policy (available at https://www.google.de/intl/policies/privacy/) gives information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.
The website uses “Google reCAPTCHA”, a Turing test by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereafter referred to as: “Google”). Google checks whether the data entries on the website are made by a person or an automated programme. For this, user behaviour is analysed using different attributes. The analysis starts automatically upon entering the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA analyses various information (e.g. IP address, time spent on the website or mouse movements by the user). The data collected in the analysis are transmitted to Google.
The reCAPTCHA analyses are running completely in the background. Website visitors are not notified that an analysis takes place.
The legal basis for the processing is art. 6 (1) point f GDPR
The controller has the legitimate interest that the website be protected against improper automated spying and SPAM.
For further information on Google reCAPTCHA as well as on Google’s privacy policy go to the following links:
When logging in (“Login”) or establishing a contact all data is transmitted via an encrypted connection using TLS technology. The certificate required for this, which has been installed on the server, has been issued by an independent organisation. An encrypted connection may be recognised by the change in the address bar of the browser from http:// to https://.
As soon as the encrypted TLS connection has been established, your entries transmitted to the shop can no longer be read by a third party.
As a rule, your data will be automatically deleted three months after the application procedure. In addition, you may request the deletion of your data at any time via e-mail to [email protected]. Please note, in this case, that you are withdrawing from all ongoing application procedures.
If personal data is processed, the users are “data subjects” for the purposes of the GDPR and are entitled to the following rights towards the controller:
The data subject may demand a confirmation from the controller on whether personal data is processed.
If such a processing takes place, the following information may be requested from the controller:
the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in art. 22 (1; 4) GDPR and – at least in those cases – meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such data processing for the data subject.
The data subject shall have the right to information about whether personal data are transmitted to a third country or an international organisation. In this context, the data subject may request information on the appropriate safeguards pursuant to art. 46 GDPR relating to the transmission.
The data subject shall have the right to rectification and/or completion of data against the controller if the processed personal data are inaccurate or incomplete. The controller has to correct these data immediately.
The restriction of processing of personal data may be requested if one of the following conditions applies:
the processing has been objected pursuant to art. 21 (1) GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.
Where the processing of personal data has been restricted, such data shall – with the exception of storage – only be processed with the consent of the data subject or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.
Where the restriction of the processing has been restricted under the above conditions, the data subject shall be informed by the controller before restriction is lifted.
Obligation to deletion
The data subject shall have the right to request from the controller the deletion of personal data without undue delay and the controller shall have the obligation to delete these data without undue delay where one of the following grounds apply:
the personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in art. 8 (1) GDPR.
Information to third parties
Where the controller has made the personal data public and is obliged pursuant to art. 17 (1) GDPR to delete these data, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers which are processing the personal data that the data subject has requested the deletion of any links to, or copies or replications of, those personal data.
Exceptions
The right to deletion shall not apply to the extent that processing is necessary
for the establishment, the exercise or defence of legal claims.
Where a right to rectification, deletion or restriction of the processing is claimed against the controller, the controller shall be obliged to communicate this rectification or deletion of data or the restriction of the processing to each recipient to whom the personal data have been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.
The data subject shall have the right against the controller to be informed about those recipients.
The data subject shall have the right to receive the personal data provided to the controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. The data subject shall also have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, where:
the processing is carried out by automated means.
In exercising this right, the data subject shall also have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. Freedoms and rights of other persons shall remain unaffected by this.
The right to data portability shall not apply for a processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
The data subject shall have the right to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data based on point (e) or (f) art. 6 (1) GDPR; including profiling based on those provisions.
The controller shall no longer process the personal data unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Where personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data for such marketing; this includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.
Where processing for direct marketing purposes was objected to, the personal data shall no longer be processed for such purposes.
The data subject shall have the possibility, in the context of the use of information society services – notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EG – to exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
The data subject shall have the right to withdraw the declaration of consent to the data protection law at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of the processing which has taken place based on the consent before its withdrawal.
The data subject shall have the right not to be subject to a decision based on automated processing - including profiling – which produces legal effects concerning the data subject or similarly significantly affects them. This shall not apply if the decision:
is based on the data subject’s explicit consent.
However, these decisions shall not be based on special categories of personal data referred to in art. 9 (1) GDPR, unless point (a) or (g) of art. 9 (2) apply and suitable measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests are in place.
In the cases referred to in points (1) and (3) the controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express their point of view and to contest the decision.
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy all data subjects shall have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if it is considered that the processing of data infringes the GDPR.
The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant on the progress and the outcome of the complaint including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to art. 78 GDPR.
