8.3 Use of Payment Service Providers (Payment Services)

- Apple Pay

If you choose the payment method "Apple Pay" offered by Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, payment processing is carried out via the "Apple Pay" function of your iOS, watchOS or macOS end device by charging a payment card stored in "Apple Pay". Apple Pay uses security features integrated into the hardware and software of your device to protect your transactions. To authorise a payment, you are required to enter a code previously set by you and to verify via the "Face ID" or "Touch ID" function of your end device.

For the purpose of payment processing, the information you have provided during the ordering process, together 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 to process the payment. The encryption ensures that only the website via 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.

Where personal data is processed in connection with the transmissions described, processing takes place exclusively for the purpose of payment processing pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Apple retains anonymised transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, approximate date and approximate time, as well as an indication of whether the transaction was completed successfully. Anonymisation completely excludes any personal reference. Apple uses the anonymised 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 a Mac, the Mac and the authorisation device communicate via an encrypted channel on Apple servers. Apple does not process or store any of this information in a format by which your person can be identified. 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 the following internet address: https://support.apple.com/de-de/HT203027
- Google Pay

If you choose the payment method "Google Pay" offered by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"), payment processing is carried out via the "Google Pay" application on your mobile end device running at least Android 4.4 ("KitKat") and equipped with an NFC function by charging a payment card stored in Google Pay or a verified payment system stored there (e.g. PayPal). To authorise a payment via Google Pay in excess of EUR 25.00, prior unlocking of your mobile end device by means of the verification measure you have set up (e.g. facial recognition, password, fingerprint or pattern) is required.

For the purpose of payment processing, the information you have provided during the ordering process, together with information about your order, is transmitted to Google. Google then transmits your payment information stored in Google Pay to the originating website in the form of a one-time transaction number, by means of which a completed payment is verified. This transaction number contains no information whatsoever about your actual payment details stored in Google Pay, but is created and transmitted as a one-time valid numerical token. In all transactions via Google Pay, Google acts solely as an intermediary for processing the payment. The transaction is carried out exclusively between the user and the originating website by charging the payment method stored in Google Pay.

Where personal data is processed in connection with the transmissions 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 analyse certain transaction-specific information for each transaction made via Google Pay. This includes the date, time and amount of the transaction, the 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 e-mail 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 is carried out exclusively pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of the legitimate interest in proper invoicing, verification of transaction data and the optimisation and maintenance of the Google Pay service.

Google further reserves the right to merge the transaction data processed with other information collected and stored by Google in the course of the use of other Google services.

To the extent that score values are incorporated into the result of the credit report, they are based on a scientifically recognised mathematical-statistical procedure. Among other factors, address data is included in the calculation of score values.

You may object to the processing of your data at any time by sending us a message or by contacting the provider directly. However, the provider may remain entitled to process your personal data where this is necessary for contractual payment processing.

9) Online Marketing

Google AdSense

This website uses Google AdSense, a web advertising service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"). Google AdSense uses so-called cookies, i.e. text files that are stored on your computer and that enable an analysis of your use of the website. In addition, Google AdSense also uses so-called "web beacons" (small invisible graphics) to collect information; these allow simple actions such as visitor traffic on the website to be recorded, collected and evaluated. The information generated by the cookie and/or web beacon (including your IP address) about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server and stored there. This may also involve transmission to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.

Google uses the information thus obtained to carry out an evaluation of your usage behaviour in relation to the AdSense advertisements. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google AdSense is not merged with other data from Google. The information collected by Google may be transferred to third parties where required by law and/or where third parties process this data on behalf of Google.
All processing operations described above, in particular the reading of information on the end device used via cookies and/or web beacons, are only carried out if you have given us your express consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Without this consent being granted, the use of Google AdSense will not take place during your visit to the page.

You may revoke your consent given at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which, on the basis of an adequacy decision by the European Commission, ensures compliance with the European level of data protection.

10) Web Analytics Services

10.1 Google Analytics 4

This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"), which enables an analysis of your use of our website.

By default, when visiting the website, Google Analytics 4 does not use cookies unless you expressly consent to cookies. Instead, information about your usage behaviour is collected and processed by means of so-called pings (small data packets sent to the host of an end device). The scope of this information also includes your IP address, which however is truncated by Google in the last digits to exclude a direct identification of persons.

The information is transmitted to Google's servers and further processed there. Transmissions to Google LLC located in the USA are also possible.

Google uses the information collected on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities for us and to provide other services relating to website usage and internet usage. The truncated IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google. The data collected in connection with the use of Google Analytics 4 is stored for a period of two months and subsequently deleted.

All processing operations described above, including data transmission by means of "pings" and the possible setting of Google Analytics cookies, are only carried out if you have given us your express consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Without your consent, Google Analytics 4 will not be used during your visit to the page. You may revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your right of revocation, please deactivate this service via the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

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

Further legal information on Google Analytics 4 can be found at https://business.safety.google/intl/de/privacy/, https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de and at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

Demographic Characteristics
Google Analytics 4 uses the special "demographic characteristics" function and can thereby generate statistics that make statements about the age, gender and interests of website visitors. This is done by analysing advertising and information from third-party providers. Thereby, target groups can be identified for marketing activities. However, the data collected cannot be attributed to any specific person and will be deleted after a storage period of two months.

Google Signals
As an extension to Google Analytics 4, Google Signals may be used on this website to enable cross-device reports to be generated. If you have activated personalised advertisements and have linked your devices with your Google account, Google can, subject to your consent to the use of Google Analytics pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, analyse your usage behaviour across devices and create database models, including for cross-device conversions. We do not receive any personal data from Google, but only statistics. If you wish to stop cross-device analysis, you can deactivate the "Personalised Advertising" feature in the settings of your Google account. Please follow the instructions on this page: https://support.google.com/My-Ad-Center-Help/answer/12155764?hl=de
Further information on Google Signals can be found at the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7532985?hl=de

Google Tag Manager provides a technical basis for bundling various web applications, including tracking and analytics services, and for calibrating, controlling and making them subject to conditions via a uniform user interface. Google Tag Manager itself does not store any information on user end devices or read any such information. The service also does not carry out any independent data analysis. However, when a page is accessed, Google Tag Manager transmits your IP address to Google, where it may be stored. Transmission to servers of Google LLC. in the USA is also possible.

This processing is only carried out if you have given us your express consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Without this consent being granted, the use of Google Tag Manager will not take place during your visit to the page. You may 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.

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

11) Retargeting / Remarketing and Conversion Tracking

11.1 Meta Pixel with Advanced Matching

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

When a user clicks on an advertisement placed by us on Facebook or Instagram, the URL of our linked page is extended by a parameter with the aid of "Meta Pixel". 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 captures specific customer data such as e-mail addresses that we collect on our website linked to the Facebook or Instagram advertisement during processes such as completed purchases, account registrations or sign-ups (advanced matching). The cookie is then read and enables the transmission of the data, including the specific customer data, to Meta.

We use "Meta Pixel" with advanced matching to make our advertisements (so-called "ads") on Facebook and/or Instagram more effective and to ensure that they correspond to the interests of users or have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products, which are determined on the basis of the websites visited), which we transmit to Meta (so-called "Custom Audiences").

In addition, we analyse the effectiveness of our advertisements by tracking whether users are redirected to our website after clicking on an advertisement (conversion). Compared to the standard version of "Meta Pixel", the advanced matching function helps us to better measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns by capturing more attributed conversions.

All transmitted data is stored and processed by Meta in such a way that an association with the respective user profile is possible 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 advertisements on and outside of Facebook.

All processing operations described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the end device used, are only carried out if you have given us your express consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may 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 unauthorised disclosure to third parties.

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

For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which, on the basis of an adequacy decision by the European Commission, ensures compliance with the European level of data protection.

11.2 Google Ads Conversion Tracking

This website uses the online advertising programme "Google Ads" and, within the scope of Google Ads, the conversion tracking of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"). We use Google Ads to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites with the aid of advertising media (so-called Google Adwords). In relation to the data of the advertising campaigns, we can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are. In so doing, we pursue the aim of displaying advertising to you that is of interest to you, of making our website more interesting for you and of achieving 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 stored on your end device. These cookies generally lose their validity 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 recognise that the user has clicked on the ad and has been directed 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 obtained by means of the conversion cookie is used to compile conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who have clicked on their ad and been directed to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to 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.

Details on the processing operations triggered by Google Ads Conversion Tracking and on how Google handles data from websites can be found here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

All processing operations described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the end device used, are only carried out if you have given us your express consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
