8.5 Use of Payment Service Providers

Apple Pay If you choose the "Apple Pay" payment method provided by Apple Distribution International ("Apple"), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, payment is processed via the "Apple Pay" function of your device running iOS, watchOS, or macOS by debiting a payment card stored in "Apple Pay". Apple Pay uses security features built into the hardware and software of your device to protect your transactions. To authorize a payment, you must enter a code you have previously set and verify using the "Face ID" or "Touch ID" function of your device. For payment processing purposes, 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 with a developer-specific key before the data is transmitted to the payment service provider of the payment card stored in Apple Pay in order to process the payment. This encryption ensures that only the website through which the purchase was made can access the payment data. After 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. Insofar as personal data is processed during the transfers described, processing takes place exclusively for the purpose of payment processing pursuant to 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 connection to a specific person. 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 a Mac, the Mac and the authorizing 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 personally. You can disable the ability to use Apple Pay on your Mac in your iPhone settings. Go to "Wallet & Apple Pay" and disable "Allow Payments on Mac". Further information on data protection with Apple Pay can be found at: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203027

Google Pay If you choose the "Google Pay" payment method provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"), payment is processed 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). For a Google Pay payment authorization exceeding €25, unlocking your mobile device via the respective verification measure (e.g. facial recognition, password, fingerprint, or pattern) is required beforehand. For payment processing purposes, the information you provide during the ordering process, along with information about your order, is passed on to Google. Google then transmits your payment information stored in Google Pay in the form of a one-time transaction number to the originating website, with which a completed payment is verified. 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 numerical token. In all transactions via Google Pay, Google acts only as an intermediary for processing the payment. The transaction is carried out exclusively between the user and the originating website by debiting the payment method stored in Google Pay. Insofar as personal data is processed during the transfers described, processing takes place exclusively for the purpose of payment processing pursuant to Art. 6(1)(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 purchased goods or services 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, where applicable, the offer associated with the transaction. According to Google, this processing takes place exclusively pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of the legitimate interest in proper accounting, verification of transaction data, and optimization and maintenance of the functionality of the Google Pay service. Google also reserves the right to combine the processed transaction data with further information collected and stored by Google in connection with the use of other Google services. Google Pay's terms of use can be found here: https://payments.google.com/payments/apis-secure/u/0/get_legal_document?ldo=0&ldt=googlepaytos&ldl=en Further information on data protection with Google Pay can be found at: https://payments.google.com/payments/apis-secure/get_legal_document?ldo=0&ldt=privacynotice&ldl=en

In this case, your data is disclosed exclusively for the purpose of payment processing with the provider and only to the extent necessary for this purpose. If you select a payment method for which we make an advance payment, you will also be asked during the ordering process to provide certain personal data (first and last name, street, house number, postal code, city, date of birth, email address, phone number, and, where applicable, data on an alternative payment method). In order to safeguard our legitimate interest in determining your creditworthiness in such cases, this data will be forwarded by us to the provider for the purpose of a credit check pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Based on the personal data you provided as well as further data (such as shopping cart, invoice amount, order history, payment experience), the provider checks whether the payment option you have selected can be granted with regard to payment and/or default risks. The credit report may contain probability values (so-called score values). Insofar as score values are included in the result of the credit report, 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 us or to the provider. However, the provider may remain entitled to process your personal data if this is necessary for the contractual processing of payment.

10) Retargeting/Remarketing and Conversion Tracking

10.1 Meta Pixel with Advanced Matching

Within our online offering, we use the "Meta Pixel" service in advanced matching mode from 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 or Instagram, "Meta Pixel" is used to add a parameter to the URL of our linked page. This URL parameter is then entered into the user's browser via a cookie set by our linked page itself after the redirect. In addition, this cookie collects specific customer data, such as the email address, which we collect on our website linked to the Facebook or Instagram advertisement during processes such as completed purchases, account registrations, or registrations (advanced matching). The cookie is then read out, enabling the transmission of the data, including the specific customer data, to Meta. We use "Meta Pixel" with advanced matching to make our advertisements ("ads") on Facebook and/or Instagram more effective and to ensure that they correspond to users' interests or have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined based on the websites visited), which we transmit to Meta (so-called "Custom Audiences"). In addition, we analyze the effectiveness of our advertisements by tracking whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on an advertisement (conversion). Compared to the standard version of "Meta Pixel", the advanced matching function helps us measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns more accurately by capturing more attributed conversions. All transmitted data is stored and processed by Meta so that it can be assigned to the respective user profile, and Meta can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with Meta's data use policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). The data may enable Meta and its partners to place ads on and off Facebook. All of the processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may revoke your given consent at any time with future effect by deactivating this service in the "cookie consent tool" provided on the website. We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider that ensures the protection of the data of our website visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties. The information generated by Meta is generally transmitted to and stored on a Meta server; in this context, it may also be transferred to Meta Platforms Inc.'s servers in the USA. For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which, based on an adequacy decision of the European Commission, ensures compliance with the European level of data protection.

10.2 TikTok Pixel

This website uses the conversion tracking technology of the following provider: TikTok Technology Limited, 10 Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin, D02 T380, Ireland If you arrived at our website via an advertisement on the provider's domain, cookies and/or comparable technologies (tracking pixels, web beacons, pings, or HTTP requests) can be used to track the success of the advertisement. For this purpose, certain device and browser information, including possibly your IP address, is read via the tracking technology in order to record and evaluate user actions predefined by us (e.g. completed transactions, leads, search queries on the website, views of product pages). This enables the creation of statistics on usage behavior on our website following redirection from an advertisement, which we use to optimize our offering. All of the processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may revoke your given consent at any time with future effect by deactivating this service in the "cookie consent tool" provided on the website.

12) Tools and Other Matters

12.1 Cookie Consent Tool

This website uses a so-called "cookie consent tool" to obtain effective user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications requiring consent. The "cookie consent tool" is displayed to users when they visit the site in the form of an interactive user interface, on which consent can be given for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications by checking boxes. The use of the tool ensures that all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded once the respective user has given the appropriate consent by checking the box. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the respective user's 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, in individual cases, personal data (such as the IP address) is nevertheless processed for the purpose of storing, assigning, or logging cookie settings, this takes place pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific, and user-friendly consent management for cookies, and thus in the legally compliant design of our website.

IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL DISCONTINUE PROCESSING THE DATA CONCERNED.

14) Duration of Storage of Personal Data

The duration of storage of personal data is determined by the respective legal basis, the purpose of processing, and — where applicable — additionally by the respective statutory retention period (e.g. commercial and tax law retention periods). When personal data is processed on the basis of express consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, the data concerned is stored until you withdraw your consent. Where statutory retention periods exist for data processed in connection with contractual or quasi-contractual obligations on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, this data is routinely deleted after the retention periods have expired, provided it is no longer required for the performance or initiation of a contract and/or we no longer have a legitimate interest in its continued storage. When personal data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, this data is stored until you exercise your right to object pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims. When personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, this data is stored until you exercise your right to object pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR. Unless otherwise indicated by the other information in this policy regarding specific processing situations, stored personal data will otherwise be deleted once it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
