8.2 Use of payment service providers
- Apple Pay
If you choose the "Apple Pay" payment method from Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, payment processing takes place via the "Apple Pay" function of your iOS, watchOS or macOS device by debiting a payment card stored with "Apple Pay". Apple Pay uses security features integrated into the hardware and software of your device to protect your transactions. To authorize a payment, you must enter a code you previously set and verify it using the "Face ID" or "Touch ID" function of your device.
For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provide during the order process, along with information about your order, is transmitted 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 for payment processing. 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 successful payment.
If personal data is processed during the described transmissions, the processing takes place exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
Apple retains anonymized transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, approximate date and time, and 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.
If you use Apple Pay on your iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase made through Safari on your Mac, your Mac and the authorization device communicate via an encrypted channel on Apple 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 your iPhone settings. Go to "Wallet & Apple Pay" and turn off "Allow Payments on Mac".
For more information on Apple Pay privacy, please visit the following website: https://support.apple.com
- Google Pay
If you select "Google Pay" as the payment method, provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"), payment processing will occur via the "Google Pay" application on your mobile device (running at least Android 4.4 ("KitKat") and equipped with NFC functionality) by debiting a payment card stored in Google Pay or a verified payment system (e.g., PayPal). To authorize a Google Pay payment exceeding €25, you must first unlock your mobile device using the established verification method (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 transferred 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 is used to verify that a payment has been made. This transaction number contains no information about the actual payment data of your payment methods stored in Google Pay but is generated and transmitted as a uniquely valid numerical token. For all transactions via Google Pay, Google acts solely as an intermediary for processing the payment. The transaction is conducted exclusively between you and the originating website by debiting the payment method stored in Google Pay.
If personal data is processed during the transmissions described, such processing occurs 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 analyze certain transaction-specific information for every 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 have attached to the transaction, the name and email address of the seller and buyer or sender and recipient, the payment method used, your description of 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 on the basis of legitimate interest in proper accounting, verification of transaction data, and optimization and functional 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 you use other Google services.

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

All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies on the device used, only takes place if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Without your consent, Google Analytics 4 will not be used during your page visit. You can revoke your given consent at any time with effect for the future.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google, which ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
Further legal information on Google Analytics 4 can be found at https://business.safety.google
Demographic features
Google Analytics 4 uses the special "demographic features" function and can create statistics that provide information about the age, gender, and interests of site visitors. This is done by analyzing advertising and information from third-party providers. This allows target groups for marketing activities to be identified. However, the collected data cannot be assigned to a specific person and will be deleted after being stored for two months.
Google Signals
As an extension to Google Analytics 4, Google Signals may be used on this website to generate cross-device reports. If you have enabled personalized ads and linked your devices to your Google account, Google may, subject to your consent to the use of Google Analytics in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR, analyze your usage behavior across devices and create database models, including for cross-device conversions.

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 by a cookie that our linked page itself sets after redirection.
This allows Meta to determine the visitors of our online offering as a target group for displaying 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 exhibit certain characteristics (e.g., interests in specific topics or products, determined based on visited websites), 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 perform there (so-called "Conversion Tracking").
The collected data is anonymous to 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 operations 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 transfer to third parties.
The information generated by Meta is usually transmitted to a Meta server and stored there; in this context, a transfer to servers of Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA may also occur.
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.

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 when you access the page in the form of an interactive user interface, where you can grant consent for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications by checking boxes. In this process, by using the tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if you grant corresponding consent by checking the boxes. This ensures that such cookies are only placed on your respective terminal device if consent has been granted.
The tool sets technically necessary cookies to save your cookie preferences. Personal user data is generally not processed in this context.
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 website.
Another 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 non-essential 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 transfer to third parties.
Further information about the operator and the setting options of the Cookie Consent Tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.

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 based on explicit consent according to 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, this data will be routinely deleted after the retention periods have expired, provided it is no longer required for contract fulfillment or initiation and/or we no longer have a legitimate interest in further storage.

When processing personal data for the purpose of direct marketing on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, this data will be stored until you exercise your right to object under Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR.
Unless otherwise specified in the other information of this declaration regarding specific processing situations, stored personal data will otherwise be deleted when they are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
