Overview

## What does Scayle do?

## What SCAYLE is

SCAYLE is an enterprise e commerce platform developed in Germany that powers online stores, from the storefront and product catalogue to cart, checkout, and order management. Brands use it to run high volume shops, and it processes the customer and order data needed to operate the store.

## What data and cookies SCAYLE collects

SCAYLE sets functional cookies that keep the session, the cart, and the checkout working, and can integrate analytics or personalisation that set additional cookies. It processes customer account and order data, which is personal data under the GDPR, primarily to run the commerce experience.

## GDPR and ePrivacy implications

Cookies strictly necessary to operate the store are exempt from consent under Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive, and the customer and order data is processed to perform the sales contract. Because SCAYLE processes data in the European Union, there is no third country transfer in a standard configuration.

## When consent is required

Analytics, personalisation, and marketing features that you enable on top of the platform set non essential cookies and need prior consent. Keep these behind a consent banner and separate them clearly from the strictly necessary commerce cookies in your policy.

## Practical compliance steps

Sign a data processing agreement, confirm EU processing, and document contract as the basis for the core commerce functions. List the necessary cookies as strictly necessary, gate analytics and marketing behind consent, and align customer data retention with your legal obligations.

- Risk level

  low

- Applicable regulations

### Impact assessment (DPIA)

SCAYLE processes commerce data within the EU rather than large scale cross site profiling, so a DPIA is generally not required for the core platform. Reassess if you add extensive personalisation, profiling, or third party marketing integrations.

### What cookies does SCAYLE set?

SCAYLE sets functional cookies that keep the storefront, cart, and checkout working and remember store preferences, and can add an optional analytics cookie when you enable it. Only the commerce cookies are strictly necessary.

### Do I need consent for SCAYLE?

The strictly necessary commerce cookies are exempt from consent under Article 5(3) ePrivacy. You need consent only for analytics, personalisation, or marketing features you enable on top of the platform.

### What is the legal basis for SCAYLE?

Running the store relies on performance of a contract under Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. Optional analytics and marketing cookies rely on consent under Article 6(1)(a) and Article 5(3) ePrivacy.

### Does SCAYLE transfer data outside the EU?

No. SCAYLE processes customer and order data within the European Union in a standard configuration, so there is no third country transfer. Confirm the processing locations in your agreement.

### Is a DPIA needed for SCAYLE?

A DPIA is generally not required for the core commerce platform because it processes order data rather than large scale cross site profiling. Reassess if you add extensive personalisation or third party marketing.

### How do I implement SCAYLE compliantly?

Sign a data processing agreement, confirm EU processing, treat the commerce cookies as strictly necessary, gate analytics and marketing behind consent, and align customer data retention with your legal obligations.

### Are there alternatives to SCAYLE?

Other EU based commerce platforms offer comparable functionality. The consent position is similar because core commerce cookies are usually strictly necessary, with consent reserved for optional tracking.

### How do I update my cookie policy for SCAYLE?

List the SCAYLE commerce cookies as strictly necessary with their purpose and duration, and add any analytics or marketing cookies separately under a consented category. Confirm EU processing in your privacy notice.
