8.3 Use of payment service providers (payment services)
- Apple Pay
If you choose the payment method "Apple Pay" by Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, the payment is processed via the "Apple Pay" function of your device operating on iOS, watchOS, or macOS by charging a payment card stored in "Apple Pay". Apple Pay uses security features integrated into your device's hardware and software to protect your transactions. Therefore, authorizing a payment requires entering a code previously set by you as well as verification using your device's "Face ID" or "Touch ID" function.
For the purpose of payment processing, the information you share during the ordering process, together with the information about your order, is disclosed to Apple in encrypted form. 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 to execute 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 as well as a transaction-specific, dynamic security code to the originating website to confirm the successful payment.
If personal data is processed during the described transmissions, the processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
Apple retains anonymized transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, the approximate date and time, and whether the transaction was successfully completed. Anonymization completely excludes any personal connection. Apple uses the anonymized data to improve "Apple Pay" and other Apple products and services.
If you use Apple Pay on the iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase you made via Safari on the Mac, the Mac and the authorization device communicate via an encrypted channel on Apple's servers. Apple does not process or store any of this information in a format that could identify you. You can disable the option to use Apple Pay on your Mac in your iPhone settings. Go to "Wallet & Apple Pay" and disable "Allow payments on Mac".

For the purpose of payment processing, the information you share during the ordering process, together with the information about your order, is disclosed to Google. Google then transmits your payment information stored in Google Pay in the form of a uniquely assigned transaction number to the originating website, which verifies that the payment has been made.

In all transactions via Google Pay, Google merely acts as an intermediary to process the payment. The transaction is carried out exclusively between the user and the originating website by charging the payment method stored in Google Pay.
If personal data is processed during the described transmissions, the processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

However, the collected data cannot be linked to any specific person and is deleted after being stored for two months.
Google Signals
As an extension of Google Analytics 4, Google Signals can be used on this website to create reports across devices. If you have enabled personalized ads and linked your devices to your Google account, Google may analyze your usage across devices and create database models, including for cross-device conversions, subject to your consent to the use of Google Analytics in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. We do not receive any personal data from Google, only statistics. If you want to stop cross-device analysis, you can disable the "Personalized Advertising" feature in your Google account settings.

10) Retargeting/Remarketing and Conversion Tracking
10.1 Meta Pixel
Within our online offer, we use the "Meta Pixel" service provided by the following provider: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Meta")
If a user clicks on an advertisement we have placed on Facebook and/or Instagram, the URL of our linked page is appended with a parameter using the "Meta Pixel". This URL parameter is then entered into the user's browser via a cookie set by our linked page after the redirect.
This allows Meta, on the one hand, to identify visitors to our online offer as a target group for displaying ads (so-called "Ads"). Accordingly, we use the service to display the Facebook and/or Instagram ads we place only to users who have also shown interest in our online offer or who exhibit certain characteristics (e.g., interests in certain topics or products determined by the websites visited), which we transmit to Meta (so-called "Custom Audiences").
On the other hand, the "Meta Pixel" can be used to 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, so it does not allow us to infer the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Meta, so that it can be linked to the respective user profile and Meta can use the data for its own advertising purposes.
All the processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies to read information on the device used, only takes place if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time with future effect by disabling this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.
We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
The information generated by Meta is generally transmitted to a Meta server and stored there; in this context, it may also be transmitted to Meta Platforms Inc. servers in the USA.
For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with European data protection standards based on an adequacy decision by the European Commission.
10.2 Google Ads Remarketing
This website uses retargeting technology provided by the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland
For this purpose, Google sets a cookie in your device's browser, which automatically enables interest-based advertising using a pseudonymous cookie ID and based on the pages you visit. Further data processing only takes place if you have agreed to Google that your internet and app browsing history will be linked to your Google account and that information from your Google account will be used to personalize the ads you view on the web. In this case, if you are logged in to Google while visiting our website, Google uses your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define target group lists for cross-device remarketing. For this purpose, Google temporarily links your personal data with Google Analytics data to form target groups. As part of the use of Google Ads Remarketing, personal data may also be transmitted to Google LLC servers in the USA.
All the processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies to read information on the device used, only takes place if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Without this consent, retargeting technology will not be used during your visit to the website.
You can withdraw your consent at any time with future effect. To exercise your right of withdrawal, please disable this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.
For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with European data protection standards based on an adequacy decision by the European Commission.

12) Tools and Other Items
Cookie Consent Tool
This website uses a so-called "Cookie Consent Tool" to obtain valid user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The "Cookie Consent Tool" is displayed to users when they visit the website in the form of an interactive user interface, where consent for specific cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be given by checking boxes. By using the tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective user gives the corresponding consent by checking the boxes. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the user's respective device if consent has been given.
The tool sets technically necessary cookies to store your cookie preferences. Personal user data is generally not processed in this context.
If personal data (such as an IP address) is processed in individual cases for the purpose of storing, linking, or logging cookie settings, this is done in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in a legally compliant, user-specific, and user-friendly consent management system for cookies and, therefore, in a legally compliant design of our website.
Another legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. As the data controller, we are legally obliged to make the use of cookies that are not technically necessary dependent on the respective user's consent.
Where necessary, we have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
Further information about the operator and the adjustment options of the Cookie Consent Tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.
