8.3 Use of payment service providers (payment services)

- Apple Pay

If you choose the payment method "Apple Pay" of Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, payment processing takes place via the "Apple Pay" function of your end device operated with iOS, watchOS or macOS by charging a payment card stored with "Apple Pay". Apple Pay uses security functions integrated into your device's hardware and software to protect your transactions. To release a payment, entry of a code previously defined by you and verification by means of the "Face ID" or "Touch ID" function of your end device are therefore required.

For the purpose of payment processing, your information communicated in the course of the ordering process together with the information about your order is transmitted to Apple in encrypted form. Apple then encrypts this data again with a developer-specific key before the data is transmitted for carrying out the payment to the payment service provider of the payment card stored in Apple Pay. The encryption ensures that only the website via which the purchase was made can access the payment data. After payment has been made, Apple sends your device account number as well as a transaction-specific, dynamic security code to the originating website to confirm the payment success.

Insofar as personal data is processed in the described transmissions, processing takes place exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Apple retains anonymised transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, the approximate date and approximate time as well as information as to whether the transaction was completed successfully. Through the anonymisation, any personal reference is completely excluded. Apple uses the anonymised data to improve "Apple Pay" and other Apple products and services.

If you use Apple Pay on iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase that you made via Safari on Mac, the Mac and the authorisation device communicate via an encrypted channel on Apple servers. Apple does not process or store any of this information in a format that can identify your person. You can disable the possibility of using Apple Pay on your Mac in the settings of your iPhone. Go to "Wallet & Apple Pay", and deactivate "Allow Payments on Mac".

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

In this case, the transfer of your data takes place exclusively for the purpose of payment processing with the provider and only insofar as this is necessary for this.

In this case, the transfer of your data takes place exclusively for the purpose of payment processing with the provider and only insofar as this is necessary for this.

If you select a payment method in which we make advance payment, you will also be requested during the ordering process to provide certain personal data (first and surname, street, house number, postcode, town, date of birth, email address, telephone number, where applicable data on an alternative means of payment).

In order to safeguard our legitimate interest in determining your creditworthiness in such cases, this data is forwarded by us to the provider in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR for the purpose of a credit check. The provider checks on the basis of the personal data you provided as well as further data (such as shopping basket, invoice amount, order history, payment experiences) whether the payment option selected by you can be granted with regard to payment and/or bad debt risks.

The credit information may contain probability values (so-called score values). Insofar as score values are included in the result of the credit information, they are based on a scientifically recognised mathematical-statistical procedure. Address data, among other things but not exclusively, is included in the calculation of the score values.

You can object to this processing of your data at any time by sending a message to us or to the provider. However, the provider may continue to be authorised to process your personal data if this is necessary for contractual payment processing.

We subsequently process the transmitted information for the proper processing of the withdrawal in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) GDPR and Article 6(1) (c) GDPR on the basis of our statutory obligation to provide an electronic withdrawal function for paid consumer distance contracts.

The information collected by the provider is routinely deleted after final processing of a withdrawal, provided that no statutory retention obligations prevent this.

We have entered into a data processing agreement with the provider, which protects data processed within the scope of the withdrawal function and prohibits unauthorised disclosure to third parties.

10.1 Meta Pixel

Within our online offer, we use the service "Meta Pixel" 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 extended with the help of "Meta Pixel" by a parameter. This URL parameter is then, after redirection, entered into the user's browser by a cookie that our linked page itself sets.

This enables Meta, on the one hand, to determine the visitors of our online offer as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called "Ads"). Accordingly, we use the service in order to display the Facebook and/or Instagram ads placed by us only to such users who have also shown an interest in our online offer or who exhibit certain features (e.g. interests in certain topics or products, which are determined based on 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 execution actions they perform there (so-called "conversion tracking").

The collected data is anonymous for us, so 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 processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading out information on the device used, is only carried out if you have given us your express consent for this in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can withdraw your granted consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

We have entered into a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our website visitors and prohibits unauthorised disclosure to third parties.

The display of the advertising media takes place on the basis of a cookie-based analysis of earlier and current usage behaviour.

In cases of retargeting technology, a cookie is stored on your computer or mobile end device in order to collect pseudonymised data about your interests and thus to adapt the advertising individually to the stored information. These cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile end device. You are thus shown advertising that very probably corresponds to your product and information interests.

All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading out information on the device used, is only carried out if you have given us your express consent for this in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Without this granting of consent, the use of retargeting technology does not take place during your site visit.

You can withdraw your granted consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your withdrawal, deactivate this service please in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

For this purpose, certain end device and browser information, including where applicable your IP address, is read out via the tracking technology in order to record and evaluate user actions predefined by us (e.g. completed transactions, leads, search queries on the website, calls up of product pages). This makes it possible to create statistics about the usage behaviour on our website after redirection from an advertisement, which serve us to optimise our offer.

We have entered into a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our website visitors and prohibits unauthorised disclosure to third parties.

10.4 Google Ads Conversion Tracking

This website uses the online advertising programme "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 the offer of Google Ads in order to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites with the help of advertising media (so-called Google Adwords). We can determine in relation to the data of the advertising campaigns how successful the individual advertising measures are. In doing so, we pursue the aim of showing you 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 usually lose their validity after 30 days and do not serve personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognise that the user clicked on the advertisement and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers. The information obtained with the help of the conversion cookie, which also includes your IP address, serves to create conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. The customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their advertisement and were redirected to a page provided with a conversion tracking tag. However, they receive no information with which users can be personally identified. Within the framework of the use of Google Ads, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.

10.5 Google Marketing Platform

This website uses the online marketing tool Google Marketing Platform of the operator Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("GMP").

GMP uses cookies in order to display ads relevant to users, improve the reports on campaign performance or to avoid a user seeing the same ads several times. Via a cookie ID, Google records which ads are placed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being shown multiple times. In addition, GMP can, with the help of cookie IDs, record so-called conversions that relate to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a GMP ad and later when using the same browser visits the website of the advertiser and buys something via this website. According to Google, GMP cookies contain no personal information.
Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the server of Google.

We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data that is collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our state of knowledge as follows: Through the integration of GMP, Google receives the information that you have called up the corresponding part of our internet presence or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a service of Google, Google can associate the visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or are not logged in, there is the possibility that the provider learns and stores your IP address. Within the framework of the use of GMP, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.

You can find the privacy policy of GMP by Google here: https://business.safety.google/intl/de/privacy/ and https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/

11) Page functionalities

11.1 Instagram plugins

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.

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

This integration ensures that when a page of our web presence containing such plugins is called up, no connection is yet established with the servers of the provider.

Only when you activate the plugins and thereby grant your consent to data transfer in accordance with Article 6 (1)(a) GDPR does your browser establish a direct connection to the provider's servers. In doing so, regardless of login to an existing user profile, a certain amount of information about your end device used (including your IP address), your browser and your page history is transmitted to the provider and may possibly be further processed there.

If you are logged into an existing user profile on the social network of the provider, information about interactions carried out via the plugins is also published there and shown to your contacts.
You can withdraw your consent at any time by deactivating the activated plugin again by clicking on it once more. However, the withdrawal has no influence on the data already transferred to the provider.

Data may also be transferred: Meta Platforms Inc., USA

We have entered into a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our website visitors and prohibits unauthorised disclosure to third parties.

11.2 Pinterest plugins

Plugins of the social network of the following provider are used on our website: Pinterest Europe Ltd., Palmerston House, 2nd Floor, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, Ireland

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

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

This integration ensures that when a page of our web presence containing such plugins is called up, no connection is yet established with the servers of the provider.

Data may also be transferred to: Pinterest Inc., USA

We have entered into a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our website visitors and prohibits unauthorised disclosure to third parties.

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

11.3 Xing plugins

The "XING Share Button" of the following provider is used on this website: New Work SE, Am Strandkai 1, 20457 Hamburg
When calling up this website, a connection to servers of the provider is briefly established via your browser, with which the "XING Share Button" functions (in particular the calculation/display of the counter value) are provided. The provider stores no personal data, in particular no IP addresses. There is also no evaluation of your usage behaviour via the use of cookies in connection with the "XING Share Button".

11.4 Youtube

This website uses plugins for displaying and playing videos 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

When you call up a page of our internet presence that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of the provider at the latest at the time of video playback in order to load the content. In doing so, certain information, including your IP address, is transmitted to the provider.

If playback of embedded videos is started via the plugin, the provider also uses cookies to collect information about user behaviour, create playback statistics and prevent abusive behaviour.

If you are logged into a user account with the provider during your site visit, your data will be assigned directly to your account when clicking on a video. If you do not want assignment to your account, you must log out before activating the play button.

All aforementioned processing operations, in particular the setting of cookies for reading out information on the device used, only take place if you have granted us your express consent for this in accordance with Article 6 (1)(a) GDPR. You can withdraw the granted consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service via the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

11.5 ShopVote graphics

Graphic elements of the following provider are integrated on our website for displaying external customer reviews and/or an externally awarded quality seal: Blickreif GmbH, Schulstraße 46, 80634 Munich, Germany

When you call up a page of our web presence that contains such graphic elements, your browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of the provider in order to load the elements properly. In doing so, certain browser information, including your IP address, is transmitted to the provider.

Insofar as personal data is also processed in this context, this is carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the optimal marketing of our offer and the appealing design of our internet presence.

11.6 Google Maps

This website uses an online map service of the following provider: Google Maps (API) of 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 visually present geographical information. Through the use of this service, our location is shown to you and any journey is made easier.

Already when calling up those subpages into which the map of Google Maps is integrated, information about your use of our website (such as e.g. your IP address) is transmitted to servers of Google and stored there; in this context, transmission to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA may also occur. This occurs independently of whether Google provides a user account via which you are logged in or whether a user account exists. If you are logged in with Google, your data is directly assigned to your account. If you do not wish assignment with your profile at Google, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them.

The collection, storage and evaluation are carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of Google's legitimate interest in the display of personalised advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of Google websites. You have a right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise it. If you do not agree with the future transmission of your data to Google in connection with the use of Google Maps, there is also the possibility of completely deactivating the web service of Google Maps 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 for the above presented processing of your data in accordance with Article 6(1) (a) GDPR. You can withdraw your granted consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your withdrawal, please follow the possibility for making an objection described above.

11.7 - 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, "Google Fonts", i.e. fonts loaded from the internet by Google, are used by the provider. No processing of further information than that mentioned above, which is already transmitted to Google via the functionality of ReCaptcha, takes place here.

The service checks whether an entry is made by a natural person or abusively by machine and automated processing, and blocks spam, DDoS attacks as well as similar automated harmful accesses. To ensure that an action is carried out 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 date and duration of the visit and transmits these for evaluation to servers of the provider. Cookies may be used in this context, i.e. small text files that are stored in the browser of the end device.

Insofar as the processing described above takes place on the basis of cookies, these are only set if you have granted us your express consent for this in accordance with Article 6(1) (a) GDPR. You can withdraw your granted 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 establishing individual personal responsibility on the internet and the avoidance of misuse and spam in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our website visitors and prohibits unauthorised disclosure to third parties.

11.8 Applications to job advertisements by email

On our website, we advertise currently vacant positions in a separate section, for which interested parties can apply by email to the contact address provided.

Applicants must provide all personal data required for a sound assessment, including general information such as name, address and contact options, as well as performance-related evidence and, where applicable, health-related information. Details about the application can be found in the job advertisement.

After receipt of the application by email, the data is stored and evaluated exclusively for the purpose of processing the application. In the event of queries, we use either the email address or telephone number of the applicant. Processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6 (1)(b) GDPR (or Section 26(1) BDSG), in whose sense completion of the application procedure is considered initiation of an employment contract.

Insofar as, within the framework of the application procedure, special categories of personal data within the meaning of Article 9(1) GDPR (e.g. health data such as information on severe disability status) are requested from applicants, processing is carried out in accordance with Article 9(2) (b) GDPR, so that we may exercise the rights arising from employment law and the law of social security and social protection and fulfil our relevant obligations.

Cumulatively or alternatively, the processing of the special categories of data may also be based on Article 9(1)(h) GDPR, if it is carried out for purposes of preventive healthcare or occupational medicine, for the assessment of the applicant's capacity to work, for medical diagnosis, care or treatment in the health or social sector or for the administration of systems and services in the health or social sector.

If the applicant is not selected or if an applicant withdraws their application early, their transmitted data as well as all electronic correspondence including the application email will be deleted after corresponding notification at the latest after 6 months. This period is measured according to our legitimate interest in answering any follow-up questions about the application and, where applicable, being able to fulfil our obligations to provide evidence under the provisions on equal treatment of applicants.

In the event of a successful application, the data provided is processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (in the case of processing in Germany in conjunction with Section 26(1) BDSG) for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship.

12) Tools and Miscellaneous

12.1 DATEV

For completing the bookkeeping, we use the service of the cloud-based accounting software of the following provider: DATEV eG, Paumgartnerstr. 6-14, 90429 Nuremberg, Germany

The provider processes incoming and outgoing invoices as well as where applicable the bank transactions of our company, in order to automatically record invoices, match them to the transactions and from this create the financial accounting in a partially automated process.

Insofar as personal data is also processed in this context, processing is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in efficient organisation and documentation of our business processes in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

12.2 Cookie Consent Tool

This website uses a so-called "Cookie Consent Tool" to obtain effective user consents for cookies requiring consent and cookie-based applications. The "Cookie Consent Tool" is displayed to users when the page is called up in the form of an interactive user interface on which consents for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be granted by ticking boxes. In doing so through the use of the tool all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective user grants corresponding consents by ticking boxes. In this way it is ensured that only in the event of granted consent are such cookies set on the respective end device of the user.

The tool sets technically necessary cookies to store your cookie preferences. Personal user data is generally not processed in this context.

If in individual cases for the purpose of storage, assignment or logging of cookie settings, personal data (such as the IP address) is nevertheless processed, this takes place in accordance with Article 6 (1)(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 internet presence.

A further legal basis for processing is also Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. As controller, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically non-necessary cookies dependent on the respective user consent.

Where necessary, we have entered into a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our website visitors and prohibits unauthorised disclosure to third parties.

Further information on the operator and the setting options of the Cookie Consent Tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.

13) Processing of personal data from external sources

Insofar as this is required in individual cases, we process personal data that we have not collected directly from the data subject. This may in particular involve master and contact data such as name, address and other business-related information.

The data may in particular originate from publicly accessible sources and registers, such as public company and commercial registers, as well as from information that has become known to us in the context of existing or former business contacts.

Processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests in the initiation, implementation and management of business relationships, the avoidance of economic and legal risks as well as the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Disclosure of this data only takes place insofar as this is necessary to achieve the aforementioned purposes or there is a legal obligation to do so.

The storage duration is based on the principles set out in section "Duration of the storage of personal data".

14) Rights of the data subject

14.1 Applicable data protection law grants you vis-à-vis the controller with regard to the processing of your personal data the data subject rights stated below (rights of information and intervention), whereby reference is made to the legal basis indicated for the respective exercise requirements:

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED BY US IN ORDER TO CARRY OUT DIRECT ADVERTISING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH ADVERTISING. YOU MAY EXERCISE THE OBJECTION AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.

IF YOU MAKE USE OF YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL END THE PROCESSING OF THE DATA CONCERNED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING PURPOSES.

14) Duration of storage of personal data

The duration of the storage of personal data is measured according to the respective legal basis, the processing purpose and – where applicable – additionally according to the respective statutory retention period (e.g. retention periods under commercial and tax law).

When processing personal data on the basis of express consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, the data concerned is stored until you withdraw your consent.

If statutory retention periods exist for data which is processed within the framework of legal transaction or quasi-legal transaction obligations on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, this data is routinely deleted after expiry of the retention periods, provided it is no longer required for contract fulfilment or contract initiation and/or on our part no legitimate interest in further storage continues to exist.

When processing personal data on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, this data is stored until you exercise your right to object pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.

When processing personal data for the purpose of direct advertising on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, this data is stored until you exercise your right to object pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR.

Unless otherwise results from the other information of this declaration regarding specific processing situations, stored personal data is otherwise deleted when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
