If you contact us via WhatsApp on the occasion of a specific transaction (e.g., an order placed), we will store and use the mobile phone number you use with WhatsApp and—if provided—your first and last name pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR for processing and answering your request.

In this case, your data will only be passed on for the purpose of processing the payment with the provider and only to the extent necessary.

- Apple Pay
If you choose the "Apple Pay" payment method from Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, the payment will be processed via the "Apple Pay" function of your iOS, watchOS, or macOS device by debiting a payment card linked to "Apple Pay". Apple Pay uses security features integrated into the hardware and software of your device to protect your transactions. Therefore, to authorize a payment, you must enter a code previously set by you as well as verify via the "Face ID" or "Touch ID" function of your device.
For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provide during the order process, along with information about your order, is transmitted to Apple in encrypted form. Apple then encrypts this data again using 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 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 back to the original website to confirm the success of the payment.
If personal data is processed during these transmissions, the processing takes place exclusively for the purpose of payment processing pursuant to Art. 6 (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.
If you use Apple Pay on your iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase made via Safari on your Mac, the Mac and the authorizing device communicate via an encrypted channel on Apple's servers. Apple does not process or store any of this information in a format that identifies you personally. You can disable the ability to use Apple Pay on your Mac in the settings of your iPhone. Go to "Wallet & Apple Pay" and disable "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-us/HT203027

In this case, your data will only be passed on for the purpose of processing the payment with the provider and only to the extent necessary.

12) Retargeting/Remarketing and Conversion Tracking

12.1 Meta Pixel
Within our online offering, we use the "Meta Pixel" service of the following provider: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Meta").
If a user clicks on an advertisement placed by us on Facebook and/or Instagram, the URL of our linked page is expanded by a parameter using "Meta Pixel". This URL parameter is then entered into the user's browser after forwarding via a cookie that our linked page sets itself.
On the one hand, this allows Meta to determine the visitors of our online offering as a target group for displaying advertisements (so-called "Ads"). Accordingly, we use the service to display the Facebook and/or Instagram Ads placed by us only to those users who have shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g., interests in certain topics or products determined by the visited websites), which we transmit to Meta (so-called "Custom Audiences").
On the other hand, the "Meta Pixel" can be used to track whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on an advertisement and what actions they take there (so-called "conversion tracking").
The collected data is anonymous to us, meaning it does not provide us with any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Meta so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Meta can use the data for its own advertising purposes.
All above-described processing, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the end device used, is only carried out if you have given us your explicit consent pursuant to Art. 6 (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 site visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
The information generated by Meta is generally transmitted to a Meta server and stored there; in this context, it may also be transmitted 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 ensures compliance with the European level of data protection on the basis of an adequacy decision of the European Commission.

12.5 Google Ads Conversion Tracking
This website uses the online advertising program "Google Ads" and, as part of Google Ads, the conversion tracking of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google").
We use the Google Ads offering to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites with the help of advertising materials (so-called Google Adwords). We can determine how successful individual advertising measures are in relation to the data of the advertising campaigns. We thereby pursue the goal of displaying advertising that is of interest to you, making our website more interesting for you, and achieving a fair calculation of the advertising costs incurred.
The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an Ads advertisement placed by Google. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your end device. These cookies generally lose their validity 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. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used 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 ad and were redirected to a page equipped with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that personally identifies users.
As part of the use of Google Ads, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC in the USA.

https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin?hl=en
In order to target users whose data we have received as part of business or business-like relationships with even more interest-based advertising, we use a customer match function within Google Ads. For this purpose, we electronically transmit one or more files with aggregated customer data (especially e-mail addresses and telephone numbers) to Google. Google does not gain access to clear data but automatically encrypts the information in the customer files during the transmission process using a special algorithm. The encrypted information can then only be used by Google to assign it to existing Google accounts created by the data subjects. This allows personalized advertising to be displayed across all Google services linked to the respective Google account.
The transmission of customer data to Google only takes place if you have given us explicit consent for this pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. You can revoke this consent towards us at any time with effect for the future. Further information on Google's data protection measures regarding the customer match function can be found here: https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/6334160?hl=en&ref_topic=10550182

Plugins of the social network of the following provider are used on our website: Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
These plugins enable direct interactions with content on the social network.
To increase the protection of your data when visiting our website, the plugins are initially deactivated and integrated into the page using a so-called "2-click" or "Shariff" solution.
This integration ensures that when you access a page of our website that contains such plugins, no connection is established with the provider's servers yet.
Only when you activate the plugins and thus grant your consent to data transmission pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR, will your browser establish a direct connection to the provider's servers.

If you are logged into an existing user profile on the provider's social network, information about interactions carried out via the plugins is also 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 effect on the data that has already been transferred to the provider.
Data may also be transferred to: Meta Platforms Inc., USA.
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.

Data may also be transmitted to: Google LLC, USA. For the visual design of the Captcha window, "Google Fonts", i.e., fonts loaded from the Internet by Google, are used by the provider. There is no processing of information other than the aforementioned, which is already transmitted to Google via the functionality of ReCaptcha.
The service checks whether an input is made by a natural person or abusively by automated and machine processing, and blocks spam, DDoS attacks, and similar automated harmful accesses. To ensure that an action is taken by a human 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.
The legal basis is our legitimate interest in determining individual personal responsibility on the Internet and avoiding abuse and spam pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.
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.
For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European level of data protection on the basis of an adequacy decision of the European Commission.

13.6 Google Customer Reviews (formerly Google Certified Stores Program)
We work with Google as part of the "Google Customer Reviews" program. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”). This program allows us to collect customer reviews from users of our website. After a purchase on our website, you will be asked if you would like to participate in an e-mail survey from Google.
If you grant your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR, we will transmit your e-mail address to Google. You will receive an e-mail from Google Customer Reviews asking you to rate your purchase experience on our website. The rating you submit will then be combined with our other reviews and displayed in our Google Customer Reviews logo as well as in our Merchant Center Dashboard. In addition, your rating will be used for Google Seller Ratings. 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 revoke your consent at any time by sending a message to the data controller or to Google.

The tool sets technically necessary cookies to save your cookie preferences. Personal user data is generally not processed.
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 pursuant to Art. 6 (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 (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 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.
