In this case, your data will be passed on exclusively for the purpose of payment processing with the provider and only to the extent necessary for this purpose.
– Apple Pay
If you choose the payment method “Apple Pay” from Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, the payment is processed via the “Apple Pay” function of your iOS, watchOS, or macOS device by charging a payment card stored with “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 previously set code and verify using your device’s “Face ID” or “Touch ID” function.
For payment processing, your information provided during the ordering process, along with information about your order, is forwarded 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. The encryption ensures that only the website where the purchase was made can access the payment data. After the payment is made, Apple sends your device account number and a transaction-specific, dynamic security code to the originating website to confirm payment success.
If personal data is processed in 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, approximate date and time, and whether the transaction was successfully completed. The anonymization completely excludes any personal reference. Apple uses the anonymized data to improve “Apple Pay” and other Apple products and services.
When you use Apple Pay on iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase made through Safari on Mac, the Mac and authorization 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 personally. 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”.

For payment processing, your information provided during the ordering process, along with information about your order, is forwarded to Google.

The execution of the transaction takes place exclusively between the user and the originating website by charging the payment method stored with Google Pay.
If personal data is processed in 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.
Google reserves the right to collect, store, and evaluate certain transaction-specific information for each transaction made via Google Pay. This includes the 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 have attached to the transaction, the name and email address of the seller and buyer or the sender and recipient, the payment method used, your description of the reason for the transaction, and any offer associated with the transaction.
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 optimization and maintenance of the Google Pay service.

11. Retargeting/Remarketing and Conversion Tracking
11.1 Google Ads Conversion Tracking
This website uses the online advertising program “Google Ads” and, as part 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 using advertising media (so-called Google Adwords). We can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are in relation to the data of the advertising campaigns. We thereby pursue the interest of showing you advertising that is of interest to you, making our website more interesting for you, and achieving a fair calculation of advertising costs.
The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on a Google-served Ads ad. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your 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 recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie 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 tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.
As part of the use of Google Ads, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.
Details about the processing initiated by Google Ads Conversion Tracking and Google’s handling of data from websites can be found here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading 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 also 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://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin?hl=en
To address users whose data we have received as part of business or business-like relationships even more in line with their interests for advertising purposes, we use a customer matching function as part of Google Ads. For this purpose, we transmit one or more files with aggregated customer data (mainly email addresses and telephone numbers) electronically to Google. Google does not receive access to clear data, but automatically encrypts the information in the customer files during the transmission process using a special algorithm. The encrypted information can then only be used by Google to assign it to existing Google accounts that the data subjects have set up. This enables personalized advertising to be displayed across all Google services linked to the respective Google account.
Customer data is only transmitted to Google if you have given us express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke this consent to us at any time with effect for the future. Further information on Google’s data protection measures with regard to the customer matching function can be found here: https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/6334160?hl=en&ref_topic=10550182

The service checks whether an input is made by a natural person or misused by machine and automated processing, and blocks spam, DDoS attacks, and similar automated harmful access. To ensure that an action is taken 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, as well as the date and duration of the visit, and transmits these to the provider’s servers for evaluation.
The legal basis is our legitimate interest in determining individual responsibility on the internet and preventing abuse and spam in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

13. Tools and Miscellaneous
13.1 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 access the page in the form of an interactive user interface, 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 when the respective user grants consent by ticking the appropriate box. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the 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 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 done in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in providing a legally compliant, user-specific and user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus in the legally compliant design of our website.
Further legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR. As the responsible party, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user consent.
Where necessary, we have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider that ensures the protection of our site visitors’ data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
