8.2 Use of Payment Service Providers

- Apple Pay

If you choose the payment method "Apple Pay" by Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, the payment will be processed via the "Apple Pay" function of your iOS, watchOS, or macOS device by debiting a payment card stored in "Apple Pay." Apple Pay uses security features integrated into your device's hardware and software to protect your transactions. To authorize a payment, you will need to enter a previously set code and verify it using your device's "Face ID" or "Touch ID" function.

For payment processing purposes, your information provided during the ordering process, along with information about your order, will be transmitted to Apple in encrypted form. Apple then re-encrypts this data with a developer-specific key before the data is transmitted to the payment service provider of the payment card stored in Apple Pay for payment execution. 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 payment success.

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 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

Apple stores anonymized transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, the approximate date and time, and 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 you made via Safari on your 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 can 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 more information on Apple Pay privacy, please visit the following website: https://support.apple.com/de-de/HT203027
- Google Pay

If you choose the "Google Pay" payment method from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"), payment processing is carried out via the "Google Pay" application on your mobile device running at least Android 4.4 ("KitKat") and equipped with an NFC function, by debiting a payment card stored in Google Pay or a verified payment system there (e.g. PayPal). To authorize a payment via Google Pay exceeding €25, your mobile device must first be unlocked using the respective verification method set up (e.g., facial recognition, password, fingerprint, or pattern).

For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provided during the order process, along with information about your order, will be transmitted to Google. Google then transmits your payment information stored in Google Pay, in the form of a unique transaction number, to the originating website, which verifies the completed payment. This transaction number contains no information about the real payment data of your payment methods stored in Google Pay, but is created and transmitted as a one-time valid numerical token. For all transactions via Google Pay, Google acts merely as an intermediary for processing the payment. The transaction itself is carried out exclusively between you and the originating website by debiting 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 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

Google reserves the right to collect, store, and evaluate certain transaction-specific information for each transaction made via Google Pay. This includes the date, time, and amount of the transaction, merchant location and description, a description of the goods or services purchased provided by the merchant, photos you attached to the transaction, the name and email address of the seller and buyer or sender and recipient, the payment method used, your description for the reason for the transaction, and, if applicable, the offer associated with the transaction.

According to Google, this processing is carried out exclusively in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, based on the legitimate interest in proper accounting, verification of transaction data, and optimization and maintenance of the Google Pay service.

Google also reserves the right to combine the processed transaction data with other information collected and stored by Google when using other Google services.

In this case, the transmission of your data is solely for the purpose of payment processing with the provider and only to the extent necessary for this.

In order to protect our legitimate interest in determining the creditworthiness of our customers, we transmit this data to the provider for a credit check in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Insofar as 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 not exclusively, address data.

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

9) Web Analysis Services

Shopify Analytics

This website uses the web analytics service of the following provider: Shopify International Limited, Victoria Buildings, 2nd Floor, 1-2 Haddington Road, Dublin 4, D04 XN32, Ireland

Data is also transferred to: Shopify Inc., 150 Elgin St, Ottawa, ON K2P 1L4, Canada

Using cookies and/or comparable technologies (tracking pixels, web beacons, algorithms for reading device and browser information), the service collects and stores pseudonymized visitor data, including information about the device used, such as the IP address and browser information, to analyze user behavior on our website for statistical purposes and to create pseudonymized usage profiles. This allows for, among other things, the evaluation of movement patterns (so-called heatmaps), which show the duration of page visits and interactions with page content (e.g., text input, scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs). Pseudonymization generally excludes direct personal identification. No merging with clear data collected in other ways about your person takes place.

All processing described above, in particular the reading or storing of information on the device used, is only carried out if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your given 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 protects the data of our site visitors and prohibits disclosure to third parties.

In the case of data transfer to Canada, an adequate level of data protection is ensured by an adequacy decision of the European Commission.

10) Retargeting/ Remarketing and Conversion Tracking

Meta Pixel

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

If you click on an advertisement placed by us on Facebook and/or Instagram, the URL of our linked page will be extended by a parameter with the help of "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 enables Meta to identify visitors to our online offering as a target group for displaying advertisements (so-called "Ads"). Accordingly, we use the service to show the Facebook and/or Instagram Ads placed by us only to users who have also shown an interest in our online offering or who have 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 for us, meaning it does not allow us to draw conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Meta, so a connection to the respective user profile is possible, and Meta can use the data for its own advertising purposes.

All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the terminal device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your given 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, which ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

The information generated by Meta is usually transmitted to a Meta server and stored there; in this context, it can also be transferred 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 on the basis of an adequacy decision by the European Commission.

11) Page Functionalities

11.1 Facebook Plugins

Plugins from the social network of the following provider are used on our website: Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

These plugins enable direct interactions with content on the social network.

To increase the protection of your data when visiting our website, the plugins are initially deactivated using a so-called "2-click" or "Shariff" solution integrated into the page.

This integration ensures that when you access a page of our website that contains such plugins, no connection is yet established with the provider's servers.

Only when you activate the plugins and thus give your consent to data transfer in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR, does your browser establish a direct connection to the provider's servers. In this process, regardless of a login to an existing user profile, certain information about your terminal device (including your IP address), your browser, and your page history are transmitted to the provider and, if applicable, further processed there.

If you are logged into an existing user profile on the provider's social network, information about interactions carried out via the plugins will also be published there and displayed to your contacts. You can revoke your consent at any time by deactivating the activated plugin again by clicking on it. However, the revocation has no effect on the data that has already been transmitted to the provider.

Data may also be transferred to: Meta Platforms Inc., USA.

This integration ensures that when you access a page of our website that contains such plugins, no connection is yet established with the provider's servers.

Only when you activate the plugins and thereby give your consent to the data transfer in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, does your browser establish a direct connection to the provider's servers. In this process, regardless of a login to an existing user profile, certain information about your end device (including your IP address), your browser and your page history is transmitted to the provider and possibly further processed there.
If you are logged into an existing user profile on the provider's social network, information about interactions carried out via the plugins will also be published there and displayed to your contacts.

We store and use the data transmitted by the provider to set up a user account with the necessary data (salutation, first name, surname, address details, country, email address, date of birth), provided you have released this to the provider. Conversely, data (e.g. information about your browsing or purchasing behavior) can be transferred from us to your account with the provider on the basis of your consent.

12) Tools and Other

Cookie Consent Tool

This website uses a so-called "cookie consent tool" to obtain effective user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The "cookie consent tool" is displayed to you as an interactive user interface when you visit the page, where you can give your consent for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications by ticking a box. By using this tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if you give your consent by ticking the corresponding box. This ensures that such cookies are only placed on your respective end device if consent has been given.

The tool sets technically necessary cookies to save your cookie preferences. As a rule, no personal user data is processed here.

If, in individual cases, personal data (such as the IP address) is processed for the purpose of storing, assigning or logging cookie settings, this is done in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in a legally compliant, user-specific and user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus in a legally compliant design of our internet presence.

A further legal basis for the processing is also Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. As controllers, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user's consent.

If necessary, we have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

14) Duration of Storage of Personal Data

The duration of the storage of personal data is determined by the respective legal basis, the purpose of processing and – if applicable – additionally by the respective statutory retention period (e.g. commercial and tax law retention periods).

When processing personal data on the basis of an explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, the data concerned will be stored until you revoke your consent.

If statutory retention periods exist for data processed within the framework of legal or quasi-legal obligations on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, these data will be routinely deleted after the expiry of the retention periods, provided that they are no longer required for the fulfillment or initiation of the contract and/or we no longer have a legitimate interest in further storage.

When processing personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, these data will be stored until you exercise your right to object in accordance with Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.

When processing personal data for direct marketing purposes on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, these data will be stored until you exercise your right to object in accordance with Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR.

Unless otherwise stated in the other information in this declaration regarding specific processing situations, stored personal data will otherwise be deleted when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
