8.3 Use of Payment Service Providers (Payment Services)
- Apple Pay
If you choose the payment method “Apple Pay” of Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, the payment will be processed via the “Apple Pay” function of your end device operated with iOS, watchOS, or macOS by charging a payment card stored with “Apple Pay”. Apple Pay uses security features built into your device's hardware and software to protect your transactions. To authorize a payment, it is therefore necessary to enter a code previously set by you and to verify it using the “Face ID” or “Touch ID” function of your end device.
For the purpose of payment processing, the information provided during the order process, together with the information about your order, is passed on to Apple in encrypted form. Apple then encrypts this data again with a developer-specific key before the data is transmitted to the payment service provider of the payment card stored in Apple Pay to carry out the payment. Encryption ensures that only the website from 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.
Insofar as personal data is processed in the course of 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, and whether the transaction was completed successfully. Anonymization completely rules out any personal reference. Apple uses the anonymized data to improve “Apple Pay” and other Apple products and services.
When you use Apple Pay on the iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase made via Safari on the Mac, the Mac and the authorizing 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 personally. You can disable the ability 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".

Data is also transferred to: Shopify Inc., 150 Elgin St, Ottawa, ON K2P 1L4, Canada

Meta Pixel
Within our online offer, we use the service "Meta Pixel" of the following provider: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Meta")
If a user clicks on an advertisement placed by us on Facebook and/or Instagram, a parameter is added to the URL of our linked page using "Meta Pixel". This URL parameter is then entered into the user's browser after redirection by a cookie that our linked page sets itself.
This allows Meta, on the one hand, to determine the visitors of our online offer as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called "Ads"). Accordingly, we use the service to display the Facebook and/or Instagram Ads placed by us only to those users who have also shown an interest in our online offer or who exhibit certain characteristics (e.g., interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited) which we transmit to Meta (so-called “Custom Audiences”).
On the other hand, the “Meta Pixel” can be used to 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 offer us any conclusions regarding the identity of the 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 operations described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the end device used, are only executed if you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can 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.
We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our website visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
The information generated by Meta is generally transmitted to a server of Meta and stored there; in this context, transmission to servers of Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA may also occur.

In doing so, certain browser information, including your IP address, is transmitted to the provider.
Data can also be transmitted to: Google LLC, USA
The processing of personal data in the course of establishing a connection with the provider of the fonts is only executed if you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent given at any time with effect for the future by deactivating 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.

Further information on Google's data protection regulations can be found here: https://business.safety.google/intl/de/privacy/
Cookie Consent Tool
This website uses a so-called “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 when they call up the page in the form of an interactive user interface, on which consent for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be given by checking a box. Through the use of the tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective user gives corresponding consent by checking the box. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the user's respective end device if consent has been granted.
The tool sets technically necessary cookies to save your cookie preferences. Personal user data is fundamentally not processed in this context.
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 carried out 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 processing is also Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. As the controller, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of cookies that are not technically necessary dependent on the respective user consent.
Where necessary, we have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our website visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
Further information about the operator and the setting options of the Cookie Consent Tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.
13.1 The applicable data protection law grants you the following data subject rights (rights of information and intervention) vis-à-vis the controller with regard to the processing of your personal data, whereby reference is made to the cited legal basis for the respective requirements for exercise:
13.2 RIGHT TO OBJECT
IF, WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF A BALANCING OF INTERESTS, WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA ON THE BASIS OF OUR OVERRIDING LEGITIMATE INTEREST, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THIS PROCESSING AT ANY TIME WITH EFFECT FOR THE FUTURE FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION.
IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL STOP PROCESSING THE DATA CONCERNED. HOWEVER, WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO FURTHER PROCESSING IF WE CAN PROVE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE REASONS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS, AND FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS, OR IF THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ASSERTION, 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 AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING. YOU CAN EXERCISE THE OBJECTON AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.
IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL STOP PROCESSING THE DATA CONCERNED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES.
The duration of the storage of personal data is determined based on the respective legal basis, the purpose of processing and – if applicable – additionally based on the respective statutory retention period (e.g., commercial and tax law retention periods).
When processing personal data on the basis of explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, the data concerned is stored until you revoke your consent.
