8.5 Usage of payment service providers (payment services)

- Apple Pay

If you choose the payment method "Apple Pay" from Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, the payment processing is done through the "Apple Pay" function of your device running iOS, watchOS, or macOS by charging a payment card stored in "Apple Pay". Apple Pay uses security features that are integrated into the hardware and software of your device to protect your transactions. To authorize a payment, you will need to enter a code that you have previously set, as well as verify using the "Face ID" or "Touch ID" function of your device.

For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provided during the ordering process, along with the information about your order, is transmitted in encrypted form to Apple. Apple then encrypts this data again with a developer-specific key before the data is transmitted to the payment service provider of the payment card stored in Apple Pay for processing the payment. The encryption ensures that only the website through which the purchase was made can access the payment data. After the payment has been made, Apple sends your device account number and a transaction-specific, dynamic security code to the originating website to confirm the success of the payment.

If personal data is processed in the described transmissions, the processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

Apple stores anonymized transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, the approximate date and time, as well as an indication of whether the transaction was successfully completed. Anonymization completely excludes any personal reference. Apple uses the anonymized data to improve "Apple Pay" and other Apple products and services.

When you use Apple Pay on your iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase made through Safari on your Mac, the Mac and the authorization device communicate over an encrypted channel on Apple's servers. Apple does not process or store any of this information in a format that can identify you. You can disable the ability to use Apple Pay on your Mac in the settings of your iPhone. Go to "Wallet & Apple Pay," and turn off "Allow Payments on Mac."

Further information on data protection with Apple Pay can be found at the following internet address: https://support.apple.com/de-de/HT203027

When selecting a payment method from the provider that requires you to pay in advance, your payment data provided during the ordering process (including name, address, bank and card information, currency, and transaction number) as well as information about the content of your order will be shared in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. The sharing of your data in this case is solely for the purpose of processing the payment with the provider and only to the extent necessary for this purpose.

When selecting a payment method where we advance payment, you will also be asked to provide certain personal data (first and last name, street, house number, postal code, city, date of birth, email address, phone number, and if applicable, data for an alternative payment method) during the ordering process.

In such cases, to protect our legitimate interest in determining your creditworthiness, this data will be forwarded to the provider in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR for the purpose of a credit check. The provider checks, based on the personal data you provided as well as other data (such as shopping cart, invoice amount, order history, payment experiences), whether the payment option you selected can be granted in terms of payment and/or default risk.

The credit report may contain probability values (so-called score values). To the extent that score values are included in the result of the credit report, they are based on a scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical procedure. The calculation of the score values includes, among other things, but is not limited to, address data.

You can object to this processing of your data at any time by sending us a message or by contacting the provider. However, the provider may still be entitled to process your personal data if this is necessary for the contractual payment processing.

11) Retargeting/ Remarketing and Conversion Tracking

11.1 Meta Pixel

Within our online offering, we use the "Meta Pixel" service from the following provider: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Quare, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Meta")

When a user clicks on an advertisement we have placed on Facebook and/or Instagram, the URL of our linked page is extended by a parameter using "Meta Pixel". This URL parameter is then entered into the user's browser after redirection by a cookie that our linked page itself sets.

This allows Meta, on the one hand, to identify the visitors of our online offering as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called "Ads"). Accordingly, we use the service to show the Facebook and/or Instagram Ads we place only to those users who have also shown an interest in our online offering or who exhibit certain characteristics (e.g., interests in specific topics or products determined by the visited websites) that we transmit to Meta (so-called "Custom Audiences").

On the other hand, the "Meta Pixel" can track whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on an advertisement and what actions they take there (so-called "conversion tracking").

The collected data is anonymous to us, meaning it does not provide any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Meta, allowing a connection to the respective user profile, and Meta can use the data for its own advertising purposes.

All of the above-mentioned processes, especially the setting of cookies for reading information on the device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider that ensures the protection of our website visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

The information generated by Meta is usually transmitted to a server of Meta and stored there; in this context, there may also be a transfer to servers of Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA.

For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European level of data protection based on an adequacy decision by the European Commission.

This website uses the online advertising program "Google Ads" and within the framework of Google Ads, the conversion tracking of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google").

We use the Google Ads service to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites with the help of advertising materials (so-called Google AdWords). We can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are in relation to the data from the advertising campaigns. Our aim is to show you ads that are of interest to you, to make our website more interesting for you, and to achieve a fair calculation of the advertising costs incurred.

The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an ad displayed by Google Ads. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device. These cookies typically expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Therefore, cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers. The information obtained through the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive information that can personally identify users.

In the context of using Google Ads, there may also be a transmission of personal data to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.

In order to address users whose data we have received in the context of business or business-like relationships in a more interest-oriented manner, we use a customer matching feature within Google Ads. For this purpose, we transmit one or more files with aggregated customer data (primarily email addresses and phone numbers) electronically to Google. Google does not gain access to clear data, but automatically encrypts the information in the customer files during the transmission process using a special algorithm. The encrypted information can then only be used by Google to associate it with existing Google accounts that the affected individuals have set up. This enables the delivery of personalized advertising across all Google services linked to the respective Google account.

The transmission of customer data to Google only occurs if you have given us explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. Further information on Google's data protection measures regarding the customer matching function can be found here: https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/6334160?hl=de&ref_topic=10550182
