6.3 Use of payment service providers (payment services)

- Apple Pay

If you choose the payment method "Apple Pay" from Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, the payment processing is carried out 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 integrated into the hardware and software of your device to protect your transactions. To authorize a payment, you must enter a code previously set by you and 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 order process along with your order details is transmitted to Apple in encrypted form. Apple then re-encrypts this data with a developer-specific key before forwarding it 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 is made, Apple sends your device account number and a transaction-specific, dynamic security code to the originating website to confirm the 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 stores anonymized transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, approximate date and time, and 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 via Safari on your Mac, the Mac and the authorization device communicate over an encrypted channel on Apple 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 turn off "Allow Payments on Mac."

Further information on data protection for Apple Pay can be found at the following internet address: https://support.apple.com/de-de/HT203027
- Google Pay

If you choose the payment method "Google Pay" from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"), the payment processing is carried out via the "Google Pay" application on your mobile device running at least Android 4.4 ("KitKat") and equipped with an NFC function by charging a payment card stored with Google Pay or a verified payment system there (e.g., PayPal). To authorize a payment via Google Pay exceeding €25, you must first unlock your mobile device using the configured verification method (such as facial recognition, password, fingerprint, or pattern).

For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provide during the ordering process along with the information about your order is passed on to Google. Google then transmits your payment information stored in Google Pay in the form of a one-time transaction number to the originating website, which verifies the completed payment. This transaction number contains no information about the actual payment data of your payment methods stored in Google Pay but is created and transmitted as a one-time valid numerical token. For all transactions via Google Pay, Google acts solely as an intermediary to process the payment. The transaction is carried out exclusively between the user and the originating website by charging the payment method stored in 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 every 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 attached to the transaction, the name and email address of the seller and buyer or sender and recipient, the payment method used, your description of the reason for the transaction, and, if applicable, the offer associated with the transaction.

According to Google, this processing is carried out exclusively in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR based on the legitimate interest in proper accounting, verification of transaction data, and optimization and maintenance of the Google Pay service.

Google also reserves the right to combine the processed transaction data with additional information collected and stored by Google when using other Google services.

Using cookies and/or comparable technologies (tracking pixels, web beacons, algorithms for reading device and browser information), the service collects and stores pseudonymized visitor data, including information about the device used such as IP address and browser information, to analyze user behavior on our website statistically and create pseudonymized usage profiles. Among other things, this allows the evaluation of movement patterns (so-called heatmaps), which show the duration of page visits as well as interactions with page content (e.g., text entries, scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs).

For the processing of personal data necessary to fulfill a contract with you (this also applies to processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual measures), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. If you have given us consent to process your data, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke any consent given at any time with effect for the future.

If personal data is also processed in this context, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in efficient organization and documentation of our business processes pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

10.2 Cookie Consent Tool

This website uses a so-called "cookie consent tool" to obtain effective user consents for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The "cookie consent tool" is displayed to users as an interactive user interface when the page is accessed, where consents for specific cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be granted by ticking checkboxes. By using this tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective user has given the corresponding consent by ticking the checkboxes. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the user's device if consent has been granted.

The tool sets technically necessary cookies to save 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 based on 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 controllers, we are legally obliged to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user consent.

If 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.

Further information about the operator and the settings options of the cookie consent tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.

12) Duration of storage of personal data

The duration of storage of personal data is determined by the respective legal basis, the processing purpose, and—if applicable—additionally by the respective statutory retention period (e.g., commercial and tax law retention periods).

When processing personal data based on an explicit consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, the affected data will be stored as long as you do not revoke your consent.

If there are statutory retention periods for data processed in the context of contractual or contract-like obligations based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, this data will be routinely deleted after the retention periods expire, provided it is no longer necessary for contract fulfillment or initiation and/or we no longer have a legitimate interest in further storage.

When processing personal data based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, this data will be stored until you exercise your right to object under Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

When processing personal data for the purpose of direct advertising based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, this data will be stored until you exercise your right to object under Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR.

Unless otherwise specified in the other information of this declaration regarding specific processing situations, stored personal data will otherwise be deleted when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
