8.7 Use of Payment Service Providers (Payment Services)

Apple Pay

If you choose the "Apple Pay" payment method offered by Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, payment is processed via the "Apple Pay" function of your device running iOS, watchOS or macOS by charging a payment card stored in "Apple Pay". Apple Pay uses security features that are integrated into the hardware and software of your device to protect your transactions. To authorize a payment, you must therefore enter a code previously defined by you as well as verify it using the "Face ID" or "Touch ID" function of your 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 carry out 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 as well as 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 transfers described, processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6(1)(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.

If you use Apple Pay on your iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase that you made via Safari on a Mac, the Mac and the authorization device communicate via an encrypted channel on Apple's servers. Apple does not process or store any of this information in a format with which you can be personally identified. 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".

To safeguard our legitimate interest in determining the creditworthiness of our customers, we forward this data 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 provide as well as other data (such as shopping cart, invoice amount, order history, payment experiences), the provider checks whether the payment option you have selected can be granted with regard to payment and/or default risks.

9) Online Marketing

Google AdSense

This website uses Google AdSense, a web advertising service provided by 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, to collect information, Google AdSense also uses so-called "web beacons" (small invisible graphics), through the use of which simple actions such as visitor traffic on the website can 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 generally transmitted to a Google server and stored there. This may also result in a transfer to the servers of Google LLC in the USA.

Google uses the information thus obtained to evaluate your usage behavior with regard to the AdSense ads. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google AdSense is not combined with other data from Google. The information collected by Google may be transferred to third parties insofar as this is required by law and/or insofar as third parties process this data on Google's behalf.

All processing described above, in particular the reading of information on the device used via cookies and/or web beacons, is only carried out if you have given us your express consent to this in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Without this consent, Google AdSense will not be used during your website visit.

You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the "cookie consent tool" provided on the website.

10) Retargeting/Remarketing and Conversion Tracking

10.1 Meta Pixel with Advanced Matching

Within our online offering, we use the "Meta Pixel" service in advanced matching mode from 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 or Instagram, the URL of our linked page is supplemented with a parameter with the help of "Meta Pixel". This URL parameter is then entered into the user's browser after the redirection by a cookie that our linked page sets itself. In addition, this cookie records specific customer data such as the e-mail address that we collect on our website linked to the Facebook or Instagram ad during processes such as purchase completions, account logins or registrations (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 in order 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) that we transmit to Meta (so-called "custom audiences").

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

All data transmitted is stored and processed by Meta, so that a link 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 policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). The data may enable Meta and its partners to place ads on and off Facebook.

All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the device used, is only carried out if you have given us your express consent to this in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can withdraw 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 that 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 Meta server and stored there; in this context, a transfer to servers of Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA may also occur.

10.2 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 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 device and browser information, including, where applicable, your IP address, is read 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 about usage behavior on our website after a redirection from an advertisement, which serve to optimize our offering.

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

If you are logged into an existing user profile on the provider's social network, information about interactions carried out via the plugins is also published there and shown to your contacts. You can withdraw your consent at any time by deactivating the activated plugin again by clicking on it again. However, the withdrawal has no effect on the data that has already been transferred to the provider.

In order for the translation to be displayed automatically after you select a national language, the browser you use connects to Google's servers.

12.2 Cookie Consent Tool

To obtain effective user consent for cookies requiring consent and cookie-based applications, this website uses a so-called "cookie consent tool". The "cookie consent tool" is displayed to users when they access the page in the form of an interactive user interface on which consent for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be granted by ticking boxes. Through the use of the tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective user grants the corresponding consent by ticking boxes.
