8.6 Use of payment service providers (payment services)

– Apple Pay

If you choose the "Apple Pay" payment method of Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, the payment processing is carried out via the "Apple Pay" function of your terminal device operated with iOS, watchOS or macOS by charging a payment card deposited with "Apple Pay". Apple Pay uses security functions that are integrated into the hardware and software of your device to protect your transactions. To release a payment, you must enter a code that you have previously defined and verify it using the Face ID or Touch ID function on your device.

For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provide during the ordering process, together with information about your order, will be 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 from 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 source website to confirm the success of the payment.

Insofar as 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 (1) lit. b DSGVO.

Apple retains anonymised transaction data, including the approximate amount of the purchase, the approximate date and time, and whether the transaction was completed successfully. Anonymisation completely eliminates the possibility of any personal reference. Apple uses the anonymised data to improve Apple Pay and other Apple products and services.

When you use Apple Pay on the iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase made through Safari on the Mac, the Mac and the authorisation 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 settings. Go to "Wallet & Apple Pay" and deactivate "Allow payments on Mac".

This transaction number does not contain any information about the real payment data of your payment means deposited with Google Pay, but is created and transmitted as a one-time valid numeric token. For all transactions via Google Pay, Google only acts as an intermediary to process the payment. The transaction is carried out exclusively in the relationship between the user and the source website by debiting the payment means deposited with Google Pay.

Insofar as 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 (1) lit. b DSGVO.

This includes the date, time and amount of the transaction, merchant location and description, a description provided by the merchant of the goods or services purchased, photos you have attached to the transaction, the name and email address of the seller and buyer or sender and recipient, the payment method used, your description for the reason for the transaction and, where 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 DSGVO on the basis of the legitimate interest in proper billing, verification of transaction data and optimisation and functional maintenance of the Google Pay service.

Dieser URL-Parameter wird dann nach der Weiterleitung durch ein Cookie, das unsere verlinkte Seite selbst setzt, in den Browser des Nutzers eingetragen.

Dadurch ist es einerseits Meta möglich, die Besucher unseres Onlineangebotes als Zielgruppe für die Darstellung von Anzeigen (sog. "Ads") zu bestimmen. Dementsprechend setzen wir den Dienst ein, um die durch uns geschalteten Facebook- und/oder Instagram-Ads nur solchen Nutzern anzuzeigen, die auch ein Interesse an unserem Onlineangebot gezeigt haben oder die bestimmte Merkmale (z.B. Interessen an bestimmten Themen oder Produkten, die anhand der besuchten Webseiten bestimmt werden) aufweisen, welche wir an Meta übermitteln (sog. „Custom Audiences“).

Andererseits kann mit dem „Meta Pixel“ nachvollzogen werden, ob Nutzer nach dem Klick auf eine Werbeanzeige auf unsere Website weitergeleitet wurden und welche Ausführungshandlungen sie dort tätigen (sog. „Conversion-Tracking“).

Die erhobenen Daten sind für uns anonym, bieten uns also keine Rückschlüsse auf die Identität der Nutzer. Allerdings werden die Daten von Meta gespeichert und verarbeitet, sodass eine Verbindung zum jeweiligen Nutzerprofil möglich ist und Meta die Daten für eigene Werbezwecke verwenden kann.

12.1 Google reCAPTCHA

On this website we use 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. For the visual design of the captcha window, the provider uses "Google Fonts", i.e. fonts loaded from the Internet by Google. No information other than that mentioned above, which is already transmitted to Google via the functionality of ReCaptcha, is processed in this case.

The service checks whether an entry is made by a natural person or abusively by machine and automated processing and blocks spam, DDoS attacks and similar automated malicious access. In order to ensure that an action is performed by a human being and not by an automated bot, the provider collects the IP address of the end device used, recognition data of the browser and operating system type used as well as the date and duration of the visit and transmits these to servers of the provider for evaluation.

The legal basis is our legitimate interest in establishing individual ownership on the Internet and preventing abuse and spam in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO.

We have concluded an order processing contract with the provider, which ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorised disclosure to third parties.

For data transfers to the USA, the provider has signed up to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European level of data protection on the basis of an adequacy decision by the European Commission.

13) Tools und Sonstiges

13.1 Cookie consent tool

Diese Website nutzt zur Einholung wirksamer Nutzereinwilligungen für einwilligungspflichtige Cookies und cookie-basierte Anwendungen ein sog. „Cookie-Consent-Tool“. Das „Cookie-Consent-Tool“ wird Nutzern bei Seitenaufruf in Form einer interaktiven Benutzeroberfläche angezeigt, auf welcher sich per Häkchensetzung Einwilligungen für bestimmte Cookies und/oder cookie-basierte Anwendungen erteilen lassen. Hierbei werden durch den Einsatz des Tools alle einwilligungspflichtigen Cookies/Dienste nur dann geladen, wenn der jeweilige Nutzer entsprechende Einwilligungen per Häkchensetzung erteilt. So wird sichergestellt, dass nur im Falle einer erteilten Einwilligung derartige Cookies auf dem jeweiligen Endgerät des Nutzers gesetzt werden.

The tool sets technically necessary cookies to save your cookie preferences. Personal user data is not processed in this process.

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 (1) lit. f DSGVO on the basis of our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific and user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus in a legally compliant design of our website.

Further legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO. As the responsible party, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user consent.

Where necessary, we have concluded an order processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorised disclosure to third parties.
