If you choose the payment method "Apple Pay" from Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, the payment processing is done through 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 will need to enter a code that you have previously set, as well as verify using the "Face ID" or "Touch ID" function of your device.

For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provided during the ordering process, along with the information about your order, is transmitted in encrypted form to Apple. 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 for processing 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 the success of the payment.

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, the approximate date and time, as well as an indication of 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.

When you use Apple Pay on your iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase made through Safari on your Mac, the Mac and the authorization 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. You can disable the option 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."

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

When a user clicks on an advertisement we have placed 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 after redirection by a cookie that our linked page itself sets. In addition, this cookie captures specific customer data such as the email address, which we collect on our website linked to the Facebook or Instagram ad during processes such as purchase completions, account logins, or registrations (enhanced data matching). The cookie is then read and enables the transmission of data including the specific customer data to Meta.

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

All transmitted data is stored and processed by Meta, allowing for assignment to the respective user profile, and Meta uses the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with Meta's data usage policies (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/The data can enable Meta and its partners to display ads on and off Facebook.

For this purpose, we transmit one or more files with aggregated customer data (primarily email addresses and phone numbers) electronically to Google. Google does not gain 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 associate it with existing Google accounts that the affected individuals have set up. This enables the delivery of personalized advertising across all Google services linked to the respective Google account.

The transmission of customer data to Google only occurs if you have given us explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future.
