Apple Pay

If you choose the payment method Apple Pay from 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 charging a payment card stored in Apple Pay. Apple Pay uses security features integrated into your device hardware and software to protect your transactions. To authorize a payment, you must enter a code set by you and verify via Face ID or Touch ID on 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 encrypts this data again with a developer specific key before the data is transmitted for payment execution to the payment service provider of the payment card stored in Apple Pay. The 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.

If personal data is processed in the described transmissions, processing is carried out 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 fully 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 iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase made via Safari on Mac, the 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 the settings of your iPhone. Go to Wallet and Apple Pay and disable Allow Payments on Mac.

To authorize a payment via Google Pay in an amount exceeding 25 euros, you must first unlock your mobile device using the configured verification method (for example face recognition, password, fingerprint, or pattern).

For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provide during the ordering process along with information about your order is transmitted to Google. Google then transmits the payment information stored in Google Pay to the originating website in the form of a one time transaction number that verifies that a payment has been made. This transaction number contains no information about the real payment data of the means of payment stored in Google Pay and is created and transmitted as a one time valid numeric token. For all transactions via Google Pay, Google acts only as an intermediary for processing the payment transaction. The transaction is carried out exclusively in the relationship between the user and the originating website by charging the means of payment stored in Google Pay.

If personal data is processed in the described transmissions, processing is carried out 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 date, time, and amount of the transaction, merchant location and description, a description of the purchased goods or services provided by the merchant, photos you may attach 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 possibly an offer associated with the transaction.

According to Google, this processing is carried out 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 Google Pay service.

11) Retargeting, remarketing, and conversion tracking

11.1 Meta Pixel

Within our online offering, we use the service Meta Pixel of the following provider: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Quare, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Meta")

If a user clicks on an advertisement placed by us on Facebook and or Instagram, the URL of our linked page is extended by a parameter using Meta Pixel. This URL parameter is then written into the user's browser after redirection via a cookie set by our linked page itself.

This enables Meta to determine visitors to our online offering as a target group for displaying advertisements (so called ads). Accordingly, we use the service to display our Facebook and or Instagram ads only to users who have shown interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (for example interests in certain topics or products determined based on visited websites) that we transmit to Meta (so called custom audiences).

On the other hand, Meta Pixel can be used to track whether users were redirected to our website after clicking an advertisement and which actions they take there (so called conversion tracking).

The data collected is anonymous for us and therefore does not provide us with conclusions about the identity of users. However, the data is stored and processed by Meta so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Meta can use the data for its own advertising purposes.

All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the device used, is carried out only if you have given us your explicit consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(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 the data of our website visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

The information generated by Meta is usually transmitted to a Meta server and stored there. In this context, transmission to servers of Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA may also occur.

If you are logged in to Google during your visit to our website in this case, Google uses your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define audience lists for cross device remarketing. For this purpose, your personal data is temporarily linked by Google with Google Analytics data to form audiences. In the context of using Google Ads remarketing, personal data may also be transmitted to servers of Google LLC in the USA.

All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the device used, is carried out only if you have given us your explicit consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Without this consent, retargeting technology will not be used during your visit.

Instead, your browser local storage is used to store an individual ID assigned by Google that enables an analysis of your website usage. For this purpose, certain user information is processed via the ID.

The ID is set when a user clicks an ad placed by Google. If the user visits certain pages of this website, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked the ad and was redirected to that page.
