- Apple Pay

If you choose the payment method "Apple Pay" from Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, payment processing takes place 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 integrated into your device's hardware and software to protect your transactions. To authorize a payment, you must enter a code previously set by you and verify it using your device's "Face ID" or "Touch ID" function.

For the purpose of payment processing, the information you 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 for payment processing. The encryption ensures that only the website through which the purchase was made can access the payment data. After the payment has been made, 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 the transmissions described, the processing takes place exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with 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. 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 you made via Safari on your Mac, the Mac and the authorization device communicate over 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 your iPhone settings. Go to "Wallet & Apple Pay" and disable "Allow Payments on Mac".

To approve a payment via Google Pay for an amount exceeding €25, you must first unlock your mobile device using the verification method set up (e.g. facial recognition, password, fingerprint or pattern).

For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provided during the ordering process, together with information about your order, will be transmitted to Google. Google then transmits your payment information stored in Google Pay in the form of a unique transaction number to the originating website, which is used to verify a completed payment.

The transaction is carried out exclusively between the user and the originating website by debiting the payment method stored in Google Pay.

If personal data is processed during the transmissions described, the processing takes place exclusively 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.

According to Google, this processing is carried out exclusively in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of the legitimate interest in proper accounting, verification of transaction data and the optimization and maintenance of the Google Pay service.

10) Retargeting/ Remarketing and Conversion Tracking

10.1 Meta Pixel with extended data matching

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

If a user clicks on an advertisement placed by us on Facebook 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 by a cookie that our linked page itself sets after the redirection. 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 purchases, account logins or registrations (extended data matching). The cookie is then read out and enables the transmission of the data including the specific customer data to Meta.

We use "Meta Pixel" with extended data 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 based on the visited websites) that we transmit to Meta (so-called "Custom Audiences").

In addition, we analyze the effectiveness of our ads by tracking whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on an ad (conversion). Compared to the standard version of "Meta Pixel", the extended data matching function helps us to better measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns by capturing more assigned conversions.

All transmitted data is stored and processed by Meta, so that an assignment to the respective user profile is possible and Meta can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with Meta's data usage guidelines (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). The data may enable Meta and its partners to display advertisements on and off Facebook.

All of the processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading out information on the device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your given 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 an order processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized transfer to third parties.

In the case of retargeting technology, a cookie is stored on your computer or mobile device to collect pseudonymized data about your interests and thus adapt the advertising individually to the stored information. These cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device. You will then be shown advertisements that are highly likely to correspond to your product and information interests.

All of the processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading out information on the device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Without this consent, retargeting technology will not be used during your visit to the site.

For this purpose, certain device and browser information, including your IP address if applicable, is read out via the tracking technology 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 user behavior on our website after redirection from an advertisement, which serves to optimize our offer.
All of the processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading out information on the device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

The provider validates the entered address, verifies the spelling and, if necessary, adds missing data. For ambiguous addresses, correct alternative suggestions are displayed. For this purpose, the address data you entered is transmitted to the provider, stored and evaluated there.

This processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the proper collection of the customer's correct address data for the conscientious fulfillment of our contractual delivery obligations and to prevent problems with contract execution.

The provider processes the data concerned separately and does not combine it with other data sets, and deletes it as soon as its status or correctness has been confirmed, but no later than after 30 days.

11.2 - hCaptcha

On this website, we use the CAPTCHA service of the following provider: Intuition Machines, Inc., 350 Alabama St, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA

The service checks whether an entry is made by a natural person or abusively by machine and automated processing, and blocks spam, DDoS attacks and similar automated malicious access. To ensure that an action is performed by a human and not by an automated bot, the provider collects the IP address of the device used, identification data of the browser and operating system type used, and the date and duration of the visit and transmits this to the provider's servers for evaluation.

The legal basis is our legitimate interest in determining individual personal responsibility on the Internet and preventing misuse and spam in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

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

For the transfer of data to the USA, the provider relies on standard contractual clauses of the European Commission, which are intended to ensure compliance with the European data protection level.

Cookie-Consent-Tool

This website uses a "Cookie Consent Tool" to obtain effective user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The "Cookie Consent Tool" is displayed to users as an interactive user interface when they visit the site, where consent for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be given by ticking a box. By using the tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective user gives their consent by ticking a 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.

If, in individual cases, personal data (such as the IP address) 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 on the basis of 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 website.

Another legal basis for the processing is also Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR. As controllers, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user's consent.

If necessary, we have concluded an order processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized transfer to third parties.

Further information on the operator and the setting options of the Cookie Consent Tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.
