8.8 Use of Payment Service Providers (Payment Services)
-
Apple Pay
If you choose the “Apple Pay” payment method provided by Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, the payment processing will be carried out via the “Apple Pay” function on your iOS, watchOS, or macOS-operated device by charging a payment card stored in “Apple Pay.” Apple Pay uses security features that are integrated into your device’s hardware and software to protect your transactions. Therefore, to authorize a payment, you must enter a code previously set by you and verify your identity using the “Face ID” or “Touch ID” function of your device. For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provide during the ordering process, along with information about your order, is transmitted to Apple in encrypted form. Apple then re-encrypts this data using a developer-specific key before transmitting the data for payment processing to the payment service provider of the payment card stored in Apple Pay. The encryption ensures that only the website from which 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 success of the payment. If personal data is processed during these transmissions, it is processed exclusively for the purpose of payment processing, according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Apple stores anonymized transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, the approximate date and time, and whether the transaction was successfully completed. The 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, 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 personally. You can disable the ability to use Apple Pay on your Mac in the settings of your iPhone. Go to “Wallet & Apple Pay” and disable “Allow Payments on Mac.” For more information about privacy with Apple Pay, 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”), the payment processing will be carried out via the “Google Pay” application on your mobile device, which operates on at least Android 4.4 (“KitKat”) and has an NFC function, by charging a payment card stored in Google Pay or a verified payment system there (e.g., PayPal). For payments over €25 via Google Pay, it is necessary to unlock your mobile device using the verification method you have set up (e.g., face recognition, password, fingerprint, or pattern) before authorizing the payment. For the purpose of payment processing, the information provided by you during the order process, along with information about your order, will be transmitted to Google. Google will then transmit your payment information stored in Google Pay in the form of a one-time transaction number to the originating website to verify a successful payment. This transaction number does not contain any real payment data from your payment methods stored in Google Pay; instead, it is generated and transmitted as a one-time valid numeric token. In all transactions via Google Pay, Google acts solely as an intermediary for processing the payment. The transaction itself is conducted exclusively between the user and the originating website by charging the payment method stored in Google Pay. If personal data is processed during these transmissions, the processing is done solely 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, the merchant’s location and description, a description of the goods or services 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 of the reason for the transaction, and any associated offer. 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. The terms of use for Google Pay can be found here: https://payments.google.com/payments/apis-secure/u/0/get_legal_document?ldo=0&ldt=googlep aytos&ldl=de. Further information on data privacy at Google Pay can be found at the following website: https://payments.google.com/payments/apis-secure/get_legal_document?ldo=0&ldt=privacynotic e&ldl=de.

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 places a cookie in your device’s browser, which automatically allows for interest-based advertising using a pseudonymous cookie ID and based on the pages you visit. Further data processing only occurs if you have agreed with Google that your internet and app browsing history is linked to your Google account and that information from your Google account is used to personalize the ads you view on the web.

10.2 Google Marketing Platform
This website uses the online marketing tool Google Marketing Platform provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“GMP”).
GMP uses cookies to serve relevant ads to users, improve campaign performance reports, or avoid showing the same ad multiple times. Google uses a cookie ID to track which ads are displayed in which browser, thereby preventing them from being shown multiple times. Additionally, GMP can use cookie IDs to track conversions related to ad requests. This occurs, for example, when a user sees a GMP ad and later uses the same browser to visit the advertiser’s website and makes a purchase. According to Google, GMP cookies do not contain any personally identifiable information.
Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to Google’s server. We have no control over the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and inform you to the best of our knowledge as follows: By integrating GMP, Google receives information that you have accessed the corresponding 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 logged in, there is a possibility that the provider may 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. All of the above-described processing, especially the setting of cookies for reading information on the device used, will only be performed 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 disabling this service in the “cookie consent tool” provided on the website.

11) Website Features
-
Instagram Plugins
Plugins from the following social network provider are used on our website: Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. These plugins allow direct interactions with content on the social network. To enhance the protection of your data when visiting our website, the plugins are initially deactivated and integrated into the page using a “2-click” or “Shariff” solution. This integration ensures that no connection is made with the provider’s servers when a page of our website containing such plugins is accessed.
Only when you activate the plugins and thus give your consent to data transmission in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, will your browser establish a direct connection to the provider’s servers. In this process, regardless of whether you are logged into an existing user profile, certain information about your device (including your IP address), your browser, and your page history is transmitted to the provider and possibly further processed.
If you are logged into an existing user profile on the provider’s social network, information about your interactions with the plugins will also be published and displayed to your contacts. You can revoke your consent at any time by deactivating the activated plugin by clicking on it again. However, the revocation will not affect data that has already been transferred to the provider. Data may also be transferred to Meta Platforms Inc., USA.
We have entered into a data processing agreement with the provider to ensure the protection of our website visitors’ data and to prohibit unauthorized disclosure to third parties. For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European data protection level based on 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 that require consent and cookie-based applications. The “cookie consent tool” is displayed to users as an interactive user interface when the page is accessed, allowing consent to be given for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications by checking the appropriate boxes. Using the tool ensures that only cookies that require consent are loaded onto the user’s device when the respective user has given their consent by checking the appropriate boxes.
The tool sets technically necessary cookies to save your cookie preferences. In general, personal user data is not processed in this process. If, in individual cases, personal data (such as IP addresses) 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 based on our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific, and user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus in legally compliant design of our website. Another legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR.
As the controller, we are legally obliged to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user consent. If necessary, we have entered into a data processing agreement with the provider to ensure the protection of our website visitors’ data and to prohibit unauthorized disclosure to third parties. Further information about the operator and the settings options of the cookie consent tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.
