8.4Use of Payment Service Providers (Payment Services)

— Apple Pay

If you choose the “Apple Pay” payment method offered by Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, payment processing is handled via the “Apple Pay” feature on your iOS, watchOS, or macOS device by charging a payment card stored with “Apple Pay.” Apple Pay uses security features built into your device’s hardware and software to protect your transactions. To authorize a payment, you must enter a code you have previously set and verify your identity using your device’s “Face ID” or “Touch ID” feature.

For the purpose of processing payments, the information you provide during the ordering process, along with details about your order, is transmitted to Apple in encrypted form. Apple then re-encrypts this data using a developer-specific key before transmitting it to the payment service provider associated with the payment card stored in Apple Pay to process 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 that the payment was successful.

If personal data is processed in connection with the transmissions described above, such processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.

Apple stores anonymized transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, the approximate date and time, and whether the transaction was successfully completed. Anonymization completely precludes any personal identification. 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 you made through Safari on your Mac, your Mac and the authorization device communicate via an encrypted channel through Apple’s servers. Apple does not process or store any of this information in a format that could be used to 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.”

) Retargeting/Remarketing and Conversion Tracking10

.1Meta Pixel:

Within our online platform, we use the “Meta Pixel” service provided by the following company: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, Merrion Road, Dublin 4, D04 X2K5, Ireland (“Meta”)

If a user clicks on an advertisement we have placed on Facebook and/or Instagram, “Meta Pixel” adds a parameter to the URL of our linked page. After the user is redirected, this URL parameter is then stored in the user’s browser via a cookie set by our linked page itself.

This enables Meta to identify visitors to our online offering as a target audience for the display of advertisements (so-called “ads”). Accordingly, we use the service to display the Facebook and/or Instagram ads we place only to users who have shown an interest in our online offerings or who exhibit certain characteristics (z.B. such as interests in specific topics or products, determined based on the websites they have visited), which we transmit to Meta (so-called “Custom Audiences”).

Furthermore, the “Meta Pixel” allows us to track whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on an ad and what actions they take there (so-called “conversion tracking”).

In addition to the “Meta Pixel,” which transmits data to Meta via your browser, the “Meta Conversions API” may also be used. If it is used, information about specific actions taken on our website (so-called “events,” z.B. Page views, adding products to the shopping cart, initiating the checkout process, or completing an order) are transmitted not through your browser, but directly from our server to Meta’s servers. This is done to ensure more reliable measurement of the effectiveness of our advertisements, for example, when browser-based transmission fails or is incomplete due to technical limitations. Within the scope of the “Meta Conversions API,” the following data in particular may be transmitted to Meta: the type and time of the event, the URL accessed, information about ordered products and their value, your IP address, information about your browser and device (user agent), and the identifiers stored in Meta cookies. To prevent duplicate collection of the same information by “Meta Pixel” and “Meta Conversions API” in these cases, each event is assigned an identifier that Meta uses to merge the transmissions.

The data collected is anonymous to us, meaning it does not allow us to identify individual users. However, the data is stored and processed by Meta, which means it can be linked to the respective user profile, and Meta may use the data for its own advertising purposes.

All processing described above—in particular, the setting of cookies to read information from the device you are using—is carried out only if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect by deactivating this service in the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website.

We are jointly responsible with Meta for the collection of data via “Meta Pixel” and its transmission to Meta (Article 26 of the GDPR). To this end, we have entered into a joint controller agreement with Meta; youhttps://www.facebook.com can view the terms of this agreement at /legal/controller_addendum.

However, for the evaluation of data, its assignment to predefined events, and the creation of measurement and analysis reports, Meta acts as our data processor pursuant to Article 28 of the GDPR and is obligated under the data processing agreement at https://facebook.com /legal/terms/dataprocessingto protect the data of our website visitors and customers.

The information generated by Meta is generally transferred to and stored on a Meta server; in this context, it may also be transferred to servers operated by Meta Platforms Inc. in the United States.

The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on a Google Ads 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 on 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 that page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot, therefore, be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie—which includes your IP address—is used to generate conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted in to conversion tracking. Customers are informed of the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.

When using Google Ads, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC in the United States.

Google may then use the encrypted information solely to associate it with existing Google accounts that the data subjects have created. This enables the delivery of personalized advertising across all Google services linked to the respective Google account.

Customer data is transmitted to Google only if you have given us your explicit consent to do so in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. You may revoke this consent at any time, effective for the future.
