8.3 Use of payment service providers (payment services)

- Apple Pay

If you opt for the "Apple Pay" payment method from Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, payment will be processed via the "Apple Pay" function of your device operated with iOS, watchOS or macOS by charging a payment card stored with "Apple Pay". Apple Pay uses security functions that are integrated into the hardware and software of your device to protect your transactions. To authorize a payment, you must therefore 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 order process, together with information about your order, will be forwarded 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 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 source website to confirm the success of the 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, 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 via an encrypted channel on Apple's servers. Apple does not process or store any of this information in a format that can be used to identify you. 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".

Further information on data protection with Apple Pay can be found at the following Internet address: https://support.apple.com/en-en/HT203027

The transaction is carried out exclusively in the relationship between the user and the source website by debiting the means of payment stored with 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 via Google Pay. This includes the date, time and amount of the transaction, merchant location and description, a description of the goods or services purchased provided by the merchant, photos you have attached to the transaction, the name and email address of the seller and buyer or the 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, the verification of transaction data and the optimization and maintenance of the Google Pay service.

If you are logged into an existing user profile on the provider's social network, information on interactions carried out via the plugins will also be published there and displayed to your contacts.
You can revoke your consent at any time by deactivating the activated plugin by clicking on it again. However, the revocation has no influence on the data that has already been transmitted to the provider.

Data may also be transferred: Meta Platforms Inc, USA

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

11.3 X-Plugins

Our website uses plugins from the social network of the following provider: Twitter International Unlimited Company, One Cumberland Place, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, D02 AX07 Ireland

These plugins enable direct interaction with content on the social network.

In order to increase the protection of your data when you visit our website, the plugins are initially deactivated and integrated into the page using the so-called "2-click" or "Shariff" solution.

This integration ensures that no connection to the provider's servers is established when a page of our website containing such plugins is accessed.

Data may also be transferred to: X Corp., USA

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

For the transfer of data to the USA, the provider refers to standard contractual clauses of the European Commission, which are intended to ensure compliance with the European level of data protection.

11.4 Google Maps

This website uses an online map service from the following provider: Google Maps (API) from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google").

Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive (land) maps in order to visualize geographical information. By using this service, you can see our location and make it easier for you to find us.

Information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers and stored there as soon as you access the subpages in which the Google Maps map is integrated; this may also involve transmission to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether a user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not wish your data to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and analyzes them.

The collection, storage and evaluation are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of Google's legitimate interest in the display of personalized advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of Google websites. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right. If you do not agree to the future transmission of your data to Google in connection with the use of Google Maps, you also have the option of completely deactivating the Google Maps web service by switching off the JavaScript application in your browser. Google Maps and thus also the map display on this website can then not be used.

Insofar as legally required, we have obtained your consent to the processing of your data as described above in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please follow the option described above for making an objection.

Data may also be transmitted to: Google LLC, USA

The provider validates the address entered, verifies the spelling and adds any missing data. In the case of ambiguous addresses, correct alternative suggestions are displayed. For this purpose, the address data you enter is transmitted to the provider, where it is stored and analyzed.

This processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the proper recording of the customer's correct address data for the conscientious fulfillment of our contractual delivery obligations and for the prevention of contract performance problems.

The provider processes the data concerned separately and does not merge it with other data sets, and deletes it as soon as its status or correctness has been confirmed, but after 30 days at the latest.

11.6 FontAwesome

This site uses so-called web fonts from the following provider for the uniform display of fonts: Fonticons, Inc, 710 Blackhorn Dr, Carl Junction, 64834, MO, USA

When you access a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly and establishes a direct connection to the provider's servers. In the process, certain browser information, including your IP address, is transmitted to the provider.

The processing of personal data in the course of establishing a connection with the font provider is only carried out if you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

11.8 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 downloaded from the Internet by Google. No information other than that already transmitted to Google via the ReCaptcha functionality is processed.

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. To ensure that an action is carried out by a person and not by an automated bot, the provider collects the IP address of the end device used, identification data of the browser and operating system type used as well as the date and duration of the visit and transmits these to the provider's servers for evaluation. This may involve the use of cookies, i.e. small text files that are stored in the browser of the end device.

If the processing described above is carried out on the basis of cookies, these will only be set if you have given us your express consent to do so 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.

If the processing described above is carried out without the use of cookies, the legal basis is our legitimate interest in determining individual responsibility on the Internet and avoiding misuse and spam in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

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

After making a purchase on our website, you will be asked whether you would like to take part in an e-mail survey from Google.

If you give your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, we will transmit your e-mail address to Google. You will receive an email from Google Customer Reviews asking you to rate the buying experience on our website. The review you provide will then be aggregated with our other reviews and displayed in our Google Customer Reviews logo and in our Merchant Center dashboard. Your review will also be used for Google seller reviews. As part of the use of Google Customer Reviews, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by sending a message to the data controller or to Google.

GDPR so that we can exercise the rights arising from labor law and social security and social protection law and fulfill our obligations in this regard.

Cumulatively or alternatively, the processing of special categories of data may also be based on Art. 9 para. 1 lit. h GDPR if it is carried out for the purposes of preventive health care or occupational medicine, for the assessment of the applicant's fitness for work, for medical diagnostics, health or social care or treatment or for the management of health or social care systems and services.

If the applicant is not selected or if an applicant withdraws their application prematurely, their submitted data and all electronic correspondence, including the application email, will be deleted after 6 months at the latest following a corresponding notification. This period is based on our legitimate interest in answering any follow-up questions about the application and, if necessary, to be able to comply with our obligations to provide evidence under the regulations on equal treatment of applicants.

12.2 Cookie Consent Tool

This website uses a so-called "cookie consent tool" to obtain effective user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The "cookie consent tool" is displayed to users when they access the website in the form of an interactive user interface, on which consent for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be given by ticking a box. By using the tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective user gives the corresponding consent by ticking the box. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the user's end device if consent has been granted.

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 para. 1 lit. f GDPR 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.

Another legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. As the controller, 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 contract with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our site visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

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

The provider collects the IP addresses of users and, if necessary, other data on your behavior on our website (in particular URLs accessed and header information) in order to detect and ward off illegitimate page access and threats. The IP address recorded is compared with a list of known attackers. If the recorded IP address is recognized as a security risk, the provider can automatically block it from accessing the site. The information collected in this way is transmitted to a server of the provider and stored there.

The data processing described is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interests in protecting the website from harmful cyber attacks and in maintaining structural and data integrity and security.

If visitors to the website have login rights, the provider also places cookies (= small text files) on the visitor's device. With the help of cookies, certain location and device information can be read, which enables an assessment of whether the login-authorized access originates from a legitimate person. At the same time, access rights can be evaluated via the cookies and released via an internal site firewall according to the authorization level. Finally, the cookies are used to register irregular access by site administrators from new devices or new locations and to notify other administrators of this.
These cookies are only set if a user has login rights. The provider does not set cookies for site visitors without login authorization.
If personal data is processed via the cookies, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit f. GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in preventing illegitimate access to the site administration and preventing unauthorized administrator access.
