8.3 Use of payment service providers (payment services)

- Apple Pay

If you choose the "Apple Pay" payment method of Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, the payment is processed via the "Apple Pay" function of your end device running iOS, watchOS or macOS by debiting 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, 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 you provide during the ordering 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 execute 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 made, Apple sends your device account number and a transaction-specific, dynamic security code to the originating website to confirm that the payment was successful.

If personal data is processed in the course of the transmissions described, the processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Apple retains anonymised transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, the approximate date and time, and whether the transaction was successfully completed. Anonymisation completely rules out any personal reference. Apple uses the anonymised 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 made via Safari on your Mac, the Mac and the authorisation device communicate via 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 deactivate the option to use Apple Pay on your Mac in the settings of your iPhone. Go to "Wallet & Apple Pay" and deactivate "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 "Google Pay" payment method of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"), the payment is processed via the payment method stored in your Google account.
To authorise a payment via Google Pay on a desktop, you must first log in to your Google account; to authorise it on a mobile end device, you must complete the corresponding verification procedure (for example by facial recognition, password, fingerprint or pattern).

For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provide during the ordering process, together with the information about your order, is passed on 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, which is used to verify that a payment has been made. This transaction number does not contain any information about the real payment data of your payment methods stored in Google Pay, but is created and transmitted as a numerical token valid only once. In all transactions via Google Pay, Google acts merely 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 debiting the payment method stored in Google Pay.

If personal data is processed in the course of the transmissions described, the processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Google reserves the right to collect, store and analyse certain transaction-specific information for every transaction made via Google Pay. This includes the date, time and amount of the transaction, the merchant's 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 of the 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 in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of the legitimate interest in proper accounting, the verification of transaction data and the optimisation and maintenance of the functionality of the Google Pay service.

Google also reserves the right to merge the processed transaction data with other information that is collected and stored by Google when other Google services are used.

The terms of use of Google Pay can be found here:

- Klarna

One or more online payment methods of the following provider are available on this website: Klarna Bank AB, Sveavägen 46, 111 34 Stockholm, Sweden

If you select a payment method of the provider for which you make an advance payment (e.g. credit card payment), your payment data provided during the ordering process (including name, address, bank and payment card information, currency and transaction number) as well as information about the content of your order will be passed on to the provider in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. In this case, your data is passed on exclusively for the purpose of processing the payment with the provider and only insofar as this is necessary for this purpose.

If you select a payment method for which the provider makes an advance payment (e.g. purchase on account or by instalments, or direct debit), you will also be asked during the ordering process to provide certain personal data (first and last name, street, house number, postcode, town/city, date of birth, e-mail address, telephone number, and where applicable data on an alternative payment method).

In order to safeguard our legitimate interest in determining the solvency of our customers, this data is forwarded by us to the provider for the purpose of a credit check in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. On the basis of the personal data you have provided and other data (such as shopping cart, invoice amount, order history, payment experience), the provider checks whether the payment option you have selected can be granted with regard to payment and/or bad debt risks.

For the decision in the context of the application review, in addition to the provider's internal criteria, identity and credit information from the following credit agencies may also be included in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR:

https://cdn.klarna.com/1.0/shared/content/legal/terms/0/de_de/credit_rating_agencies

The credit report may contain probability values (so-called score values). Insofar as score values are included in the result of the credit report, they are based on a scientifically recognised mathematical-statistical procedure. The calculation of the score values includes, among other things, but not exclusively, address data.

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

In order to safeguard our legitimate interest in determining your solvency in such cases, this data is forwarded by us to the provider for the purpose of a credit check in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

When using the withdrawal function, in addition to details identifying the contract to be withdrawn from, further personal information such as the consumer's first and last name and e-mail address must be provided or confirmed.

The collection of this information and its transmission to us is carried out in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR and only insofar as it is necessary for the proper processing of the withdrawal. The personal data provided is also used on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR to confirm receipt of the declaration of withdrawal by e-mail. A further legal basis for the processing is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. We are legally obliged to provide an electronic withdrawal function for consumer distance contracts subject to payment.

9) Web analysis services

9.1 Google Analytics 4

This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analysis 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 you visit the website, Google Analytics 4 sets cookies, which are stored as small text modules on your end device and collect certain information. The scope of this information also includes your IP address, which, however, is shortened by Google by the last digits in order to rule out direct personal identification.

The information is transmitted to Google servers and further processed there. Transfers to Google LLC, based in the USA, are also possible in this context.

Google uses the information collected on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity for us and to provide further services related to website use and internet use. The shortened IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. The data collected in the course of using Google Analytics 4 is stored for a period of two months and then deleted.

All the processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies on the end device used, only takes place if you have given us your express consent to this pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
Without your consent, Google Analytics 4 will not be used during your visit to the site. You can withdraw the consent you have given at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your right of withdrawal, 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 site 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
Insofar as the special "demographic characteristics" function is activated within Google Analytics 4, it can be used to compile statistics that provide information about the age, gender and interests of site visitors. This is done by analysing advertising and information from third-party providers. This makes it possible to identify target groups for marketing activities. However, the data collected cannot be assigned to any specific person and is deleted after being stored for a period of two months.

Google Signals
As an extension to Google Analytics 4, Google Signals may be used on this website to have cross-device reports generated. If you have activated personalised ads and linked your devices to your Google account, Google may, 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 on cross-device conversions. We do not receive any personal data from Google, only statistics. If you wish to stop the cross-device analysis, you can deactivate the "Personalised advertising" function in the settings of your Google account. To do so, 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

UserIDs

If you have consented to the use of Google Analytics 4 pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, have set up an account on this website and log in to this account on different devices, your activities, including conversions, can be analysed across devices.

9.2 Google Tag Manager

This website uses "Google Tag Manager", a service of the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter: "Google").

Google Tag Manager provides a technical basis for bundling various web applications, including tracking and analysis services, and for being able to calibrate and control them and link them to conditions via a uniform user interface. Google Tag Manager itself does not store any information on users' end devices or read any information from them. Nor does the service carry out any independent data analyses. However, when a page is accessed, Google Tag Manager transmits your IP address to Google, where it may be stored. A transfer 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 to this pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Without this consent, Google Tag Manager will not be used during your visit to the site. You can withdraw the consent you have given at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your withdrawal, 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 site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorised disclosure to third parties.

Further legal information on Google Tag Manager can be found at https://business.safety.google/intl/de/privacy/ and https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de

9.3 Shopify Analytics

This website uses the web analysis service of the following provider: Shopify International Limited, Victoria Buildings, 2nd Floor, 1-2 Haddington Road, Dublin 4, D04 XN32, Ireland

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

With the help of cookies and/or comparable technologies (tracking pixels, web beacons, algorithms for reading end device and browser information), the service collects and stores pseudonymised visitor data, including information about the end device used such as the IP address and browser information, in order to evaluate it for statistical analyses of usage behaviour on our website and to create pseudonymised usage profiles. Pseudonymisation generally rules out direct personal identification. The data is not merged with plain data about your person collected in other ways.

All the processing described above, in particular the reading or storing of information on the end device used, is only carried out if you have given us your express consent to this pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can withdraw the consent you have 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 protects our site visitors' data and prohibits disclosure to third parties.

For data transfers to Canada, an adequate level of data protection is ensured by an adequacy decision of the European Commission.

10) Retargeting/ remarketing and conversion tracking

10.1 Meta Pixel

Within our online offering, we use the "Meta Pixel" service of the following provider: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, Merrion Road, Dublin 4, D04 X2K5, Ireland ("Meta")

If a user clicks on an advertisement placed by us on Facebook and/or Instagram, "Meta Pixel" is used to add a parameter to the URL of our linked page. After the redirection, this URL parameter is then entered in the user's browser by means of a cookie set by our linked page itself.

On the one hand, this enables Meta to determine the visitors to our online offering 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 offering or who have 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, "Meta Pixel" can be used to track whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on an advertisement and which actions they perform there (so-called "conversion tracking").

In addition to "Meta Pixel", which transmits data to Meta via your browser, the "Meta Conversions API" may be used. If it is used, information about certain actions on our website (so-called "events", e.g. page views, adding products to the shopping cart, initiating the ordering process or completing an order) is transmitted via an interface not via your browser, but directly from our server to Meta's servers. This serves to make the measurement of the success of our advertisements more reliable, for example if browser-side transmission does not take place or is only incomplete due to technical restrictions. In the context of the "Meta Conversions API", the following data in particular may be transmitted to Meta: type and time of the event, URL accessed, information on products ordered and their value, your IP address, information on your browser and end device (user agent) and the identifiers stored in the Meta cookies. In order to avoid the same information being recorded twice by "Meta Pixel" and "Meta Conversions API" in these cases, each event is assigned an identifier on the basis of which Meta merges the transmissions.

The data collected is anonymous for us, i.e. it does not allow us to draw any conclusions about 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 the processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the end device used, is only carried out if you have given us your express consent to this pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can withdraw the consent you have given at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the "cookie consent tool" provided on the website.

We are jointly responsible with Meta (Art. 26 GDPR) for the collection of data via "Meta Pixel" and its transmission to Meta. For this purpose, we have concluded a joint controllership agreement with Meta, the content of which you can access at https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum.

For the evaluation of the data, its assignment to predefined events and the creation of measurement and analysis reports, however, Meta acts as our processor pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR and is obliged to protect the data of our site visitors and customers in accordance with the data processing agreement at https://facebook.com/legal/terms/dataprocessing.

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

10.2 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 the Google Ads offering to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites with the help 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 doing so, we pursue the aim of showing you advertising that is of interest to you, making our website more interesting for you and achieving a fair calculation of the advertising costs incurred.

The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your end device. These cookies usually 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 clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies therefore cannot be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers. The information obtained with the help of the conversion cookie, which also includes your IP address, 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 provided with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified. In the course of using Google Ads, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.

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

In addition, you can permanently object to the setting of cookies by Google Ads conversion tracking by downloading and installing the Google browser plug-in available at the following link:
https://support.google.com/My-Ad-Center-Help/answer/12155656?hl=de

Please note that certain functions of this website may not be available or may only be available to a limited extent if you have deactivated the use of cookies.
Google's privacy policy can be viewed here: https://business.safety.google/intl/de/privacy/ and https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/

10.3 TikTok Pixel

This website uses the conversion tracking technology of the following provider: TikTok Technology Limited, 10 Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin, D02 T380, Ireland

If you have reached our website from an advertisement on the provider's domain, the success of the advertisement can be tracked with the help of cookies and/or comparable technologies (tracking pixels, web beacons, pings or HTTP requests).

For this purpose, certain end device and browser information, possibly including your IP address, is read out via the tracking technology in order 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 usage behaviour on our website after redirection from an advertisement, which serve us to optimise our offering.

We are jointly responsible with TikTok (Art. 26 GDPR) for the collection of data via "TikTok Pixel" and its transmission to TikTok.

When you access a page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the provider's servers at the latest at the time the video is played in order to load the content. In the process, certain information, including your IP address, is transmitted to the provider.

If the playback of embedded videos is started via the plugin, the provider also uses cookies to collect information about user behaviour, to compile playback statistics and to prevent abusive behaviour.

To ensure that an action is performed by a human and not by an automated bot, the provider collects the IP address of the end device used, identification data of the browser and operating system type used as well as the date and duration of the visit, and transmits this data to the provider's servers for evaluation.

The legal basis is our legitimate interest in establishing individual personal responsibility on the internet and in preventing abuse and spam pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

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.

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