8.7 Use of payment service providers (payment services)
- Apple Pay
If you choose the "Apple Pay" payment method from Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, payment processing is handled via the "Apple Pay" function on 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. Authorizing a payment requires entering a code you previously set and verifying your identity using your device's "Face ID" or "Touch ID" function.
For payment processing purposes, the information you provide during the ordering process, along with details of your order, will be transmitted to Apple in encrypted form. Apple then re-encrypts this data with a developer-specific key before transmitting it to the payment service provider of the payment card stored in Apple Pay. This encryption ensures that only the website where the purchase was made can access the payment information. After the payment has been processed, Apple sends your device account number and a transaction-specific, dynamic security code to the originating website to confirm the successful payment.
If personal data is processed during the described transfers, 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, date, and time, as well as whether the transaction was successful. Anonymization completely eliminates any possibility of identifying individuals. Apple uses this 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 you made through Safari on your Mac, your Mac and the authorizing 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 personally. You can disable the ability to use Apple Pay on your Mac in your iPhone's settings. Go to "Wallet & Apple Pay" and turn off "Allow Payments on Mac."
Further information on data protection with Apple Pay can be found at the following web 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"), payment processing is handled via the "Google Pay" application on your mobile device, which must be running at least Android 4.4 ("KitKat") and have NFC capability. The payment will be processed by charging a payment card stored in Google Pay or a payment system verified 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 payment processing purposes, the information you provide during the ordering process, along with information about your order, will be shared with Google. Google will then transmit your payment information stored in Google Pay to the originating website in the form of a unique transaction number, which is used to verify the payment. This transaction number contains no information about the actual payment details of your payment method stored in Google Pay, but is created and transmitted as a unique numerical token. In all transactions via Google Pay, Google acts solely as an intermediary for processing the payment. The transaction is executed exclusively between the user and the originating website by debiting the payment method stored in Google Pay.
If personal data is processed during the described transfers, 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 analyze certain transaction-specific information for each transaction made through Google Pay. This includes the date, time, and amount of the transaction; the merchant's 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 on the basis of the legitimate interest in proper accounting, verification of transaction data and the optimization and maintenance of the Google Pay service.
Google also reserves the right to combine the processed transaction data with other information collected and stored by Google when you use other Google services.

10) Retargeting/remarketing and conversion tracking
10.1 Facebook Pixel for creating Custom Audiences
Within our online services, we use the "Facebook Pixel" service provided by the following company: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook")
When a user clicks on one of our Facebook ads, the URL of our linked page is extended with a parameter using the "Facebook Pixel". This URL parameter is then entered into the user's browser after redirection via a cookie set by our linked page itself.
This allows Facebook to identify visitors to our website as a target audience for displaying advertisements (so-called "Facebook Ads"). Accordingly, we use this service to ensure that the Facebook Ads we place are only shown to Facebook users who have demonstrated an interest in our website or who exhibit certain characteristics (e.g., interests in specific topics or products, determined based on the websites they have visited) that we transmit to Facebook (so-called "Custom Audiences").
On the other hand, “Facebook Pixel” can be used to track whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad and what actions they take there (so-called “conversion tracking”).
The data collected is anonymous to us, meaning it doesn't allow us to draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook, so a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes.
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 explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can 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 website visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
The information generated by Facebook is usually transferred to and stored on a Facebook server; in this context, it may also be transferred to servers of Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA.
For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which, based on an adequacy decision by the European Commission, ensures compliance with the European level of data protection.

Further data processing only takes place if you have consented to Google linking your internet and app browsing history to your Google account and using information from your Google account to personalize ads you see on the web. If you are logged into Google during your visit to our website, Google uses your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define target audience lists for cross-device remarketing. For this purpose, your personal data is temporarily linked by Google with Google Analytics data to create target audiences. When using Google Ads Remarketing, personal data may also be transferred to the servers of Google LLC in the USA.
All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on your device, will only be carried out if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Without this consent, retargeting technology will not be used during your visit to our website.
You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your right of withdrawal, please deactivate this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

The display of advertisements is based on a cookie-based analysis of past and current user behavior, but no personal data is stored. In the case of retargeting technology, a cookie is stored on your computer or mobile device to collect pseudonymized data about your interests and thus tailor the advertising to the stored information. These cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device. This allows us to show you advertising that is highly likely to match your product and information interests.
All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on your device, will only be carried out if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

10.4 Google Ads Conversion Tracking
This website uses the online advertising program "Google Ads" and, within the framework 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 advertise our attractive offers on external websites using advertising materials (so-called Google AdWords). Based on the data from these advertising campaigns, we can determine the success of individual advertising measures. Our aim is to show you advertising that is relevant to you, to make our website more interesting for you, and to ensure a fair calculation of the advertising costs incurred.
The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on a Google ad. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device. These cookies typically expire 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. Therefore, cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of different Google Ads customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. These customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can personally identify users.
When using Google Ads, personal data may also be transferred to the servers of Google LLC in the USA.

To target advertising more effectively to users whose data we have obtained through business or similar relationships, we use a customer matching feature within Google Ads. For this purpose, we electronically transmit one or more files containing aggregated customer data (primarily email addresses and phone numbers) to Google. Google does not gain access to unencrypted data; instead, it automatically encrypts the information in the customer files during the transmission process using a special algorithm. Google can then only use the encrypted information to associate it with existing Google accounts that the individuals have created. This enables the delivery of personalized advertising across all Google services linked to the respective Google account.
Customer data is only transferred to Google if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. Further information on Google's data protection measures regarding the customer matching function can be found here: https://support.google.com /google-ads /answer /6334160 ?hl=de &ref_topic=10550182

Google Marketing Platform (GMP) uses cookies to deliver relevant ads to users, improve campaign performance reports, and prevent users from seeing the same ads multiple times. Using a cookie ID, Google tracks which ads are displayed in which browser, thus preventing them from being shown repeatedly. Furthermore, GMP can use cookie IDs to track conversions related to ad requests. This occurs, for example, when a user sees a GMP ad and later, using the same browser, visits the advertiser's website and makes a purchase. According to Google, GMP cookies do not contain any personally identifiable information.
Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to Google's server.
We have no control over the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you as follows, based on our current knowledge: By integrating GMP, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on one of our ads. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can associate your visit with your account.

This website uses the CAPTCHA service of the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland
Data may also be transmitted to: Google LLC, USA. The provider uses "Google Fonts" for the visual design of the CAPTCHA window; these are fonts downloaded from the internet by Google. No further information beyond that already transmitted to Google via the reCAPTCHA functionality is processed.

11.8 Shopsync for Shopify
This website uses the Shopify app “Shopsync” by ShopSync LLC, PO Box 252, Jefferson City, TN 37760, USA.
ShopSync synchronizes the newsletter service "Mailchimp" with our Shopify account so that, on the one hand, updates in Mailchimp email lists (such as a newsletter recipient opting out) are automatically stored on Shopify, and on the other hand, new contact details generated through contracts concluded on Shopify are automatically transferred to Mailchimp's email lists.
In the first case, data processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the effective and system-wide maintenance of the files of advertising recipients and the efficient observance of legally significant status changes.
In the second case, only on the basis of the user's explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, after a contract has been concluded on Shopify, will ShopSync transfer the user's first and last name, address and email address together with transaction-related information (purchase amount, time and date of purchase) to Mailchimp for inclusion in the Mailchimp list.
Data transferred in this way is not stored or retained by ShopSync after synchronization. All information synchronized between Shopify and Mailchimp is transmitted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology, and all transmitted information remains encrypted during the synchronization process.
The synchronization process requires the transfer of information via a secure connection to servers hosted by Amazon Web Services in the USA.

If an applicant is not selected or withdraws their application prematurely, their submitted data and all electronic correspondence, including the application email, will be deleted no later than six months after notification. This period is based on our legitimate interest in being able to answer any follow-up questions regarding the application and, if necessary, to comply with our obligations to provide evidence under the regulations on equal treatment of applicants.
