8.4 Use of payment service providers
- Apple Pay
If you choose the payment method “Apple Pay” of Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, payment processing is carried out via the “Apple Pay” function of your device running iOS, watchOS or macOS by debiting a payment card stored with Apple Pay. Apple Pay uses security functions integrated into the hardware and software of your device to protect your transactions. To authorize a payment, you must therefore enter a code previously set by you and verify the transaction using the “Face ID” or “Touch ID” function of your device.
For the purpose of payment processing, the information communicated by you during the ordering process together with information about your order are transmitted to Apple in encrypted form. Apple then encrypts this data again with a developer-specific key before the data are transmitted to the payment service provider of the payment card stored in Apple Pay for the purpose of carrying out the payment. The encryption ensures that only the website through which the purchase was made can access the payment data. After payment has been made, Apple sends the device account number and a transaction-specific dynamic security code to the originating website to confirm successful payment.
Insofar as personal data are processed in the context of the transmissions described, the processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
Apple retains anonymized transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, approximate date and approximate time, and whether the transaction was completed successfully. The anonymization excludes any personal reference. Apple uses the anonymized data to improve Apple Pay and other Apple products and services.
If you use Apple Pay on iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase 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 that allows your identity to be determined. You can disable the possibility of using 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 at 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” of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”), payment processing is carried out via the “Google Pay” application on your mobile device running at least Android 4.4 (“KitKat”) and equipped with NFC by debiting a payment card stored with Google Pay or a payment system verified there (e.g. PayPal). To authorize a payment via Google Pay in excess of EUR 25, you must first unlock your mobile device using the verification method configured (e.g. facial recognition, password, fingerprint or pattern).
For the purpose of payment processing, the information communicated by you during the ordering process together with information about your order are transmitted to Google. Google then transfers your payment information stored in Google Pay in the form of a one-time transaction number to the originating website, with which the successful payment is verified. This transaction number contains no information about the actual payment details of your means of payment stored with Google Pay, but is created and transmitted as a one-time valid numerical token. In all transactions via Google Pay, Google acts merely as an intermediary for processing the payment transaction. The execution of the transaction takes place exclusively between the user and the originating website by debiting the means of payment stored with Google Pay.
Insofar as personal data are processed in the context of the transmissions described, the processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
Google reserves the right, for each transaction carried out via Google Pay, to collect, store and evaluate certain transaction-specific information. 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 e-mail address of the seller and buyer or 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 pursuant to Art. 6(1)(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.
Google also reserves the right to combine the processed transaction data with further information collected and stored by Google when using other Google services.

11) Retargeting, Remarketing and Conversion Tracking
11.1 Meta Pixel
Within our online offering, we use the service “Meta Pixel” provided by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Meta”).
If a user clicks on one of our advertisements placed on Facebook and/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 by means of a cookie set by our linked page itself after redirection.
This enables Meta, on the one hand, to determine visitors to our online offering as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called “Ads”). Accordingly, we use the service to display Facebook and/or Instagram ads placed by us only to 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) that we transmit to Meta (so-called “Custom Audiences”).
On the other hand, “Meta Pixel” can be used to determine whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on an advertisement and what actions they perform there (so-called “conversion tracking”).
The data collected are anonymous to us and therefore do not allow us to draw any conclusions about the identity of users. However, the data are stored and processed by Meta, which makes a link to the respective user profile possible and allows Meta to use the data for its own advertising purposes.
All processing operations described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the terminal device used, will only take place if you have given us your express consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may revoke 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 which ensures the protection of the data of our site visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
The information generated by Meta is usually transmitted to and stored on a server of Meta; in this context, transmission to servers of Meta Platforms Inc. in the United States may also occur.
For data transfers to the United States, the provider has joined the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, which, on the basis of an adequacy decision by the European Commission, ensures compliance with the European level of data protection.

This website uses the online advertising program “Google Ads” and, within 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 by means of advertising material (so-called Google Adwords). Based on data relating to advertising campaigns, we can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are. In this way, we 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 the advertising costs incurred.
This website uses Google Ads Conversion Tracking exclusively without the use of cookies, which means that the service never sets cookies on your terminal device.
Instead, the local storage of your browser is used to store an individual ID assigned by Google, which enables an analysis of your use of the website. For this purpose, certain user information is processed via the ID.
The ID is set when a user clicks on a Google Ads advertisement. If the user visits certain pages of this website, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the advertisement and was redirected to that page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies therefore cannot be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers. The information thus obtained serves 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 advertisement and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag.
However, you do not receive any information by which users can be personally identified. In the context of the use of Google Ads, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC in the United States. Details concerning the processing initiated by Google Ads Conversion Tracking and Google’s handling of website data can be found here: https://policies.google.com
Insofar as the collected information has a personal reference, the processing is carried out pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the statistical evaluation of the success of our advertising campaigns.

Even when you access those subpages in which the Google Maps map is embedded, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers and stored there; this may also involve transmission to servers of Google LLC in the United States.
