8.3 Use of payment service providers (payment services)
- Apple Pay
If you choose the payment method "Apple Pay“ from Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, payment will be processed via the "Apple Pay“ function of your iOS, watchOS or macOS device by debiting 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 authorise a payment, it is therefore necessary to enter a code previously defined by you and to 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 transmissions, the processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
Apple stores anonymised transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, the approximate date and time and whether the transaction was successfully completed. This anonymisation completely excludes any personal reference. Apple uses the anonymised 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 that you have made via Safari on your Mac, the Mac and the authorisation device communicate via an encrypted channel on the Apple 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".

If a user clicks on an advert placed by us on Facebook and/or Instagram, "Meta Pixel" is used to add a parameter to the URL of our linked page. This URL parameter is then entered into the user's browser after redirection by a cookie that our linked page sets itself.
This makes it possible for Meta to determine the visitors to our online offering as a target group for the display of adverts. Accordingly, we use the service to display the Facebook and/or Instagram ads placed by us only to those users who have also shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited), which we transmit to Meta (so-called "Custom Audiences“).

Google uses a cookie ID to record which adverts are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed more than once.
