8.3 Use of payment service providers (payment services)

- Apple Pay

If you choose the payment method "Apple Pay" from Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, the payment processing will be done through the "Apple Pay" feature of your device running iOS, watchOS, or macOS by charging a payment card stored in "Apple Pay." Apple Pay uses security features that are integrated into the hardware and software of your device to protect your transactions. To authorize a payment, you will need to enter a code that you have previously set, as well as verify using the "Face ID" or "Touch ID" feature of your device.

For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provide during the ordering process, along with the details of your order, is transmitted in encrypted form to Apple. Apple then re-encrypts this data with a developer-specific key before sending the data to the payment service provider of the payment card stored in Apple Pay for processing the payment. The encryption ensures that only the website through which the purchase was made can access the payment data. After the payment has been 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 in 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 retains anonymized transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, the approximate date and time, as well as an indication of whether the transaction was successfully completed. Anonymization completely eliminates 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 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. You can disable the option to use Apple Pay on your Mac in the settings of your iPhone. Go to "Wallet & Apple Pay" and turn off "Allow Payments on Mac."

10) Retargeting/ Remarketing and Conversion Tracking

10.1 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")

When a user clicks on an advertisement 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 that our linked page itself sets.

This allows Meta, on the one hand, to identify the visitors of our online offering as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called "Ads"). Accordingly, we use the service to show the Facebook and/or Instagram Ads we run only to those 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 by the visited websites) that we transmit to Meta (so-called "Custom Audiences").

On the other hand, the "Meta Pixel" can 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 to us, meaning it does not provide any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Meta, allowing a connection to the respective user profile, and Meta can use the data for its own advertising purposes.

All of the above-mentioned processes, especially the setting of cookies for reading 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 that ensures the protection of our website visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

The information generated by Meta is usually transmitted to a server of Meta and stored there; in this context, it may also involve a transfer to servers of Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA.

10.2 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"). We use the Google Ads service to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites with the help of advertising materials (so-called Google AdWords). We can determine the success of individual advertising measures in relation to the data from the advertising campaigns. Our aim is to show you ads that are 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 displayed by Google Ads. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device. These cookies typically 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 clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Therefore, cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers. The information obtained through the conversion cookie 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 equipped with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive information that can personally identify users. As part of the use of Google Ads, there may also be a transmission of personal data to the servers of Google LLC in the USA.

Details on the processes initiated by Google Ads Conversion Tracking and Google's handling of data from websites can be found here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

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.

If personal data is also processed in this context, this is done in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR based on our legitimate interest in the optimal marketing of our offerings and the appealing design of our online presence.

11.5 Google Maps

This website uses an online mapping 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 represent geographical information. By using this service, our location will be shown to you, making it easier to find your way here.

When you access the subpages that include the Google Maps map, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers and stored there. This may also involve transmission to the servers of Google LLC in the USA. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account that you are logged into or whether an account exists. If you are logged into Google, your data is directly associated with your account. If you do not wish for this association 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 this data.

The collection, storage, and evaluation are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR based on 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 you must contact Google to exercise this right. If you do not agree with the future transmission of your data to Google in the context of using Google Maps, there is also the option to completely disable the Google Maps web service by turning off JavaScript in your browser. Google Maps and thus the map display on this website cannot be used then.

As far as legally required, we have obtained your consent for the processing of your data as described above 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 aforementioned option for making an objection.

11.6 Google Web Fonts

This page uses web fonts from the following provider for a consistent 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 text and fonts correctly and establishes a direct connection to the provider's servers. In this process, certain browser information, including your IP address, is transmitted to the provider.

Data may also be transmitted to: Google LLC, USA

The processing of personal data in the course of contacting the font provider will only take place 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 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) Tools and Miscellaneous

Cookie Consent Tool

This website uses a so-called "cookie consent tool" to obtain valid user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The "cookie consent tool" is displayed to users upon page access in the form of an interactive user interface, where consents for specific cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be granted by checking boxes. With the use of this tool, all cookies/services that require consent are only loaded when the respective user has granted the corresponding consents by checking the boxes. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the 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.

In individual cases, if the processing of personal data (such as the IP address) is necessary for the purpose of storing, assigning, or logging cookie settings, this is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR based on 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 online presence.

Another legal basis for processing is also Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. As the data controller, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user consent.

If necessary, we have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider that ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits 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.

IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL CEASE PROCESSING THE AFFECTED DATA. HOWEVER, FURTHER PROCESSING REMAINS RESERVED IF WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING PROTECTABLE REASONS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR IF THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS.

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED BY US FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING AT ANY TIME. YOU CAN EXERCISE THE OBJECTION AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.

IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL CEASE PROCESSING THE AFFECTED DATA FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES.

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 retention periods).

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

If there are statutory retention periods for data processed in the context of contractual or contract-like obligations based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, this data will be routinely deleted after the retention periods expire, provided that it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract and/or we have no legitimate interest in further storage.

When processing personal data based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, this data will be stored until you exercise your right to object under Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

When processing personal data for the purpose of direct marketing based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, this data will be stored until you exercise your right to object according to Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR.

Unless otherwise stated in the additional information of this declaration regarding specific processing situations, stored personal data will be deleted when they are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
