8.8 Use of payment service providers (payment services)

- 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 on your device running 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. To authorize a payment, you must enter a code you previously set and verify using your device’s “Face ID” or “Touch ID” function.

For payment processing purposes, the information you provide during the ordering process, along with details about your order, is transmitted to Apple in encrypted form. Apple then re-encrypts this data with a developer-specific key before forwarding it to the payment service provider of the payment card stored in Apple Pay to complete the payment. Encryption ensures that only the website where the purchase was made can access the payment data. After the payment is completed, Apple sends your device account number and a transaction-specific, dynamic security code to the originating website to confirm the payment’s 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, date, and time, as well as whether the transaction was successfully completed. Anonymization ensures that no personal reference is possible. 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 the Apple servers. Apple does not process or store any of this information in a format that can identify you personally. 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."

To authorize a payment via Google Pay exceeding €25, you must first unlock your mobile device using the verification method you have set up (such as facial recognition, password, fingerprint, or pattern).

For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provide during the ordering process, along with details about your order, will be shared with Google. Google then transmits your payment information stored in Google Pay in the form of a one-time transaction number to the originating website, which is used to verify a successful payment. This transaction number contains no information about the actual payment data of your payment methods stored in Google Pay, but is created and transmitted as a one-time valid numeric token. For all transactions via Google Pay, Google acts solely as an intermediary for processing the payment. The execution of the transaction takes place 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 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 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 the legitimate interest in proper accounting, verification of transaction data, and the 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.

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

In such cases, in order to safeguard our legitimate interest in determining your ability to pay, we forward this data to the provider for the purpose of a credit check in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Based on the personal data you provide and other data (such as shopping cart, invoice amount, order history, payment experiences), the provider checks whether the payment option you have selected can be granted with regard to payment and/or default risks.

This website uses PayPal Checkout, an online payment system from PayPal that consists of PayPal’s own payment methods and local payment methods from third-party providers.

When paying via PayPal, credit card via PayPal, direct debit via PayPal, or—if offered—“Pay Later” via PayPal, we transmit your payment data to PayPal (Europe) S.a.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (hereinafter “PayPal”) as part of the payment process. This transfer is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR and only to the extent necessary for payment processing.

For the payment methods credit card via PayPal, direct debit via PayPal or – if offered – "Pay Later" via PayPal, PayPal reserves the right to carry out a credit check. For this purpose, your payment data may be forwarded to credit agencies in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of PayPal's legitimate interest in determining your ability to pay. PayPal uses the result of the credit check regarding the statistical probability of payment default to decide whether to provide the respective payment method. The credit check may include probability values (so-called score values). If score values are included in the result of the credit check, they are based on a scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical procedure. Among other things, but not exclusively, address data is included in the calculation of the score values. You can object to this processing of your data at any time by sending a message to PayPal. However, PayPal may still be entitled to process your personal data if this is necessary for the contractual processing of payments.

If the PayPal payment method "Invoice Purchase" is available and selected, your payment data will first be transmitted to PayPal to prepare the payment, after which PayPal will forward it to Ratepay GmbH, Franklinstraße 28-29, 10587 Berlin ("Ratepay") for processing. The legal basis in each case is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. In this case, RatePay will carry out an identity and credit check in its own name to determine your ability to pay, in accordance with the principle already mentioned above, and will forward your payment data to credit agencies on the basis of the legitimate interest in determining your ability to pay in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. A list of the credit agencies Ratepay may use can be found here: https://www.ratepay.com/legal-payment-creditagencies/

When using a local third-party payment method, your payment data will first be forwarded to PayPal in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR to prepare the payment. Depending on your selection of an available local payment method, PayPal will then transfer your payment data to the respective provider for the purpose of processing the payment in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR:

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 Square, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Meta")

If a user clicks on an ad 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 set by our linked page itself.

This enables Meta, on the one hand, to determine the visitors to our online offering as a target group for displaying ads (so-called "Ads"). Accordingly, we use the service to show the Facebook and/or Instagram ads we place only to those users who have shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in specific topics or products, determined based on the websites visited) that 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 ad and what actions they take there (so-called "conversion tracking").

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

All of the processing described above, especially the setting of cookies to read 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, which ensures the protection of our website visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

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

11.2 Google Ads Remarketing

This website uses retargeting technology from the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland

For this purpose, Google sets a cookie in the browser of your device, which automatically enables interest-based advertising using a pseudonymous cookie ID and based on the pages you have visited. The information collected generally also includes your IP address.

Further data processing will only take place if you have agreed to Google linking your internet and app browsing history with your Google account and using information from your Google account to personalize ads you see on the web. If you are logged in to Google during your visit to our website in this case, Google will use your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define audience lists for cross-device remarketing. For this purpose, your personal data will be temporarily linked by Google with Google Analytics data to form audiences. When using Google Ads Remarketing, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.

All of the above-mentioned processing activities, especially the setting of cookies to read information on the device you are using, will only take place if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Without this consent, retargeting technology will not be used during your visit to our site.

You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please deactivate this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

This website uses retargeting technology from the following provider: Pinterest Europe Ltd., Palmerston House, 2nd Floor, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, Ireland

This enables us to specifically target visitors to our website with personalized, interest-based advertising who have already shown interest in our shop and products. The display of advertising materials is based on a cookie-based analysis of previous and current usage behavior.

In cases of retargeting technology, a cookie is stored on your computer or mobile device to collect pseudonymized data about your interests and thus tailor advertising individually to the stored information. These cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device. This way, you will see advertising that is highly likely to match your product and information interests.

You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please deactivate this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

11.4 Google Ads Conversion Tracking

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

The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device. These cookies usually 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 has clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies therefore cannot be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie, which also includes your IP address, 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 any information that could personally identify users.

When using Google Ads, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.

You can find details about the processing triggered by Google Ads Conversion Tracking and how Google handles data from websites here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

You can also permanently object to the setting of cookies by Google Ads Conversion Tracking by downloading and installing the browser plug-in from Google available at the following link:
https://support.google.com/My-Ad-Center-Help/answer/12155656?hl=de

To address users whose data we have received as part of business or business-like relationships with even more relevant advertising, we use a customer match feature within Google Ads. For this purpose, we electronically transmit one or more files with aggregated customer data (mainly email addresses and phone numbers) to Google. Google does not gain access to plain data; instead, the information in the customer files is automatically encrypted during the transmission process using a special algorithm. The encrypted information can then only be used by Google to match it to existing Google accounts that the 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 takes place if you have given us your 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

11.5 Google Ads Conversion Tracking

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

Our aim is to show you advertising that is 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 placed by Google. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device.

If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user has clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie, which also includes your IP address, 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 any information that can personally identify users. In the context of using Google Ads, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.

11.6 Google Marketing Platform

This website uses the online marketing tool Google Marketing Platform operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("GMP").

GMP uses cookies to display ads relevant to users, improve campaign performance reports, or prevent a user from seeing the same ads multiple times. Using a cookie ID, Google records which ads are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being shown multiple times. In addition, GMP can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a GMP ad and later, while using the same browser, visits the advertiser's website and makes a purchase through that website. According to Google, GMP cookies do not contain any personal information.
Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Google server.

We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our knowledge as follows: By integrating GMP, Google receives the information that you have accessed the relevant part of our website or clicked on one of our ads. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can associate your visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or not logged in, it is possible that the provider will obtain and store your IP address. In the context of using GMP, personal data may also be transferred to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.

You can find the privacy policy of GMP by Google here: https://business.safety.google/intl/de/privacy/ and https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/

For this purpose, certain device and browser information, including your IP address if applicable, is read out via tracking technology in order to record and evaluate predefined user actions by us (e.g. completed transactions, leads, search queries on the website, visits to product pages). This enables us to create statistics on user behavior on our website after being redirected from an advertisement, which helps us optimize our offering.
All of the processing described above, especially the setting of cookies to read 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.

12.9 Google Maps

This website uses an online map service from the following provider: Google Maps (API) by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”).

Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive (land) maps to visually present geographic information. By using this service, our location will be shown to you and your journey to us will be made easier.

As soon as you access those subpages in which the Google Maps map is integrated, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google's servers and stored there; this may also involve transmission to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA. This happens regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether a user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you do not want your data to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them.

The collection, storage, and evaluation are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of Google's legitimate interest in displaying personalized advertising, market research, and/or the needs-based design of Google websites. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and to exercise this right you must contact Google. If you do not agree to the future transmission of your data to Google in the context of using Google Maps, you also have the option to completely deactivate the Google Maps web service by disabling the JavaScript application in your browser. Google Maps and thus the map display on this website can then no longer be used.

Where legally required, we have obtained your consent for the above-described processing of your data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please follow the above-described option for lodging an objection.

12.10 Google Maps API

To enable real-time verification of certain entries in the address form during the order process of our webshop for input errors, we use the services of the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland

Data may also be transmitted to: Google LLC., USA

The provider validates the entered address, verifies the spelling, and supplements any missing data if necessary. For ambiguous addresses, correct alternative suggestions are displayed. For this purpose, the address data you enter is transmitted to the provider, stored there, and evaluated.

This processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the proper recording of the customer's correct address data for the diligent fulfillment of our contractual delivery obligations and to prevent problems in the execution of the contract.

The provider processes the affected data separately and does not combine it with other data sets, and deletes it as soon as its status or accuracy has been confirmed, but no later than after 30 days.

Further information on Google’s privacy policy can be found here: https://business.safety.google/intl/de/privacy/

12.11 Google Web Fonts

This site uses so-called web fonts from the following provider for the uniform display of fonts: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland

When you access a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly and establishes a direct connection to the provider's servers. Certain browser information, including your IP address, is transmitted to the provider in this process.

Data may also be transmitted to: Google LLC, USA

The processing of personal data in connection with contacting the provider of the fonts is only carried out if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service via the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used.

12.12 - Google reCAPTCHA

On this website, we use the CAPTCHA service from the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland

Data may also be transmitted to: Google LLC, USA.

For the visual design of the captcha window, the provider uses "Google Fonts," i.e., fonts loaded from the internet by Google. No further information is processed beyond what is already transmitted to Google through the functionality of ReCaptcha.

The service checks whether an entry is made by a natural person or abusively by machine and automated processing, and blocks spam, DDoS attacks, as well as similar automated malicious access. To ensure that an action is performed by a human and not an automated bot, the provider collects the IP address of the device used, identification data of the browser and operating system type used, as well as the date and duration of the visit, and transmits this information to the provider's servers for evaluation. Cookies may be used in this process, i.e., small text files that are stored in the browser of the device.

If the processing described above is based on cookies, these will only be set if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

If the above-mentioned processing is carried out without the use of cookies, the legal basis is our legitimate interest in determining individual responsibility on the internet and preventing misuse and spam in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

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

12.13 Google Customer Reviews (formerly Google Certified Shops Program)

We work with Google as part of the “Google Customer Reviews” program. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”). This program gives us the opportunity to collect customer reviews from users of our website. After using our services, you will be asked on our website whether you would like to participate in an email survey from Google.

If you give your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, we will transmit your email address to Google. You will receive an email from Google Customer Reviews asking you to rate your shopping experience on our website. Your submitted review will then be aggregated with our other reviews and displayed in our Google Customer Reviews logo as well as in our Merchant Center dashboard. In addition, your review will be used for Google Seller Ratings. As part of the use of Google Customer Reviews, personal data may also be transferred to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by sending a message to the person responsible for data processing or to Google.

If an applicant is not selected or withdraws their application early, their submitted data and all electronic correspondence, including the application email, will be deleted no later than 6 months after appropriate notification.
