8.3 Use of Payment Service Providers (Payment Services)

  • Amazon Pay
    This website offers one or more online payment options provided by the following provider:
    Amazon Payments Europe s.c.a., 38 avenue J.F. Kennedy, L-1855 Luxembourg
    If you choose a payment method from this provider that requires advance payment (e.g., credit card payment), the payment data you provide during the ordering process (including name, address, bank and card details, currency, and transaction number) as well as information about your order will be passed on to the provider in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
    This transfer is made solely for the purpose of processing the payment with the provider and only to the extent necessary for this purpose.

  • 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 device running iOS, watchOS, or macOS by charging a payment card stored in Apple Pay.
    Apple Pay uses built-in security features of your device's hardware and software to protect your transactions.
    To authorize a payment, you must enter a previously set code and verify via the "Face ID" or "Touch ID" feature of your device.
    For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provided during the ordering process, along with order details, will be transmitted in encrypted form to Apple. Apple then re-encrypts this data using a developer-specific key before forwarding it to the payment service provider of the card stored in Apple Pay. This encryption ensures that only the website from which the purchase was made can access the payment data.
    Once the payment is completed, Apple sends your device account number and a transaction-specific, dynamic security code to the originating website to confirm payment success.
    Where personal data is processed during the above transmissions, it is done solely for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
    Apple retains anonymized transaction data, such as approximate purchase amount, approximate date and time, and indication of whether the transaction was successful. This 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 initiated on Safari on your Mac, the Mac and the authorizing device communicate via an encrypted channel on Apple servers. Apple does not process or store this information in a format that can identify you personally.
    You can disable the ability to use Apple Pay on your Mac in your iPhone settings. Go to "Wallet & Apple Pay" and disable "Allow Payments on Mac." 

    Further information on data protection when using Apple Pay can be found at the following internet address:

The transaction is made by charging a payment method stored in Google Pay or a verified payment system (e.g., PayPal).
      To authorize a payment over €25.00 using Google Pay, your mobile device must first be unlocked using a verification method set up by you (e.g., facial recognition, password, fingerprint, or pattern).
      For the purpose of processing the payment, the information you provided during the ordering process along with your order details is transmitted to Google. Google then forwards your payment details stored in Google Pay in the form of a one-time transaction number to the originating website to confirm that the payment has been made. This transaction number contains no real payment data and is generated and transmitted as a unique numeric token.
      For all Google Pay transactions, Google acts solely as an intermediary in the payment process. The transaction is carried out exclusively between the user and the originating website by charging the payment method stored in Google Pay.
      Where personal data is processed during these transmissions, it is done exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

    Google reserves the right to collect, store, and evaluate certain transaction-specific information for each transaction made via Google Pay. This includes the date, time, and amount of the transaction, the merchant’s location and description, a description of the goods or services purchased as provided by the merchant, photos you attach to the transaction, the name and email address of the seller and buyer (or sender and recipient), the payment method used, your description of the transaction’s purpose, and any offers associated with the transaction.
    According to Google, this processing is carried out solely based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR and Google's legitimate interest in accurate accounting, verification of transaction data, and the optimization and maintenance of Google Pay.
    Google may also combine the processed transaction data with other information collected and stored through the use of other Google services.

      In order to safeguard our legitimate interest in assessing the solvency of our customers, this data will be forwarded to the provider in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR for the purpose of a credit check.

        9) Web Analytics Services

        Google Analytics 4
        This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"), which enables analysis of your use of our website.

        By default, Google Analytics 4 does not use cookies when you visit the website unless you explicitly consent to their use. Instead, information about your usage behavior is collected and processed via so-called "pings" (small data packets sent to the host device). This information includes your IP address, which is shortened by Google to prevent direct personal identification.

        The collected data is transferred to and processed on Google servers. Transfers to Google LLC, based in the USA, may also occur.

        Google processes the collected information on our behalf in order to analyze your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide us with other services related to website and internet usage. The IP address transmitted and shortened by your browser in the context of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. Data collected through the use of Google Analytics 4 is retained for two months and then deleted.

        All processing described above, including the transmission of data via pings and the possible placement of Google Analytics cookies, only takes place if you have given your explicit consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
        Without your consent, Google Analytics 4 will not be used during your visit to our website. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect. To do so, please disable the service using the “cookie consent tool” provided on the website.

        We have entered into a data processing agreement with Google to ensure the protection of our website visitors’ data and to prohibit unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

        For more information on Google Analytics 4’s data processing, please see:
        https://business.safety.google/intl/en/privacy/
        https://policies.google.com/privacy
        https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

        Demographic Features
        Google Analytics 4 uses the "Demographics" feature to generate statistics on age, gender, and interests of website visitors. This is done through the analysis of advertising and third-party information. These data help identify target audiences for marketing activities. The collected data cannot be attributed to a specific individual and is deleted after a retention period of two months.

        Google Signals
        As an extension of Google Analytics 4, this website may use Google Signals to generate cross-device reports. If you have enabled personalized ads and linked your devices to your Google account, and if you have consented to the use of Google Analytics pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, Google can analyze your usage behavior across devices and create models (e.g., for cross-device conversions).
        We do not receive any personal data from Google, only anonymized statistics.
        You can deactivate cross-device analysis by disabling "Personalized advertising" in your Google Account settings.
        For more information, see:
        https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=en
        https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7532985?hl=en

        UserIDs
        As an extension of Google Analytics 4, the “UserIDs” function may be used on this website. If you have consented to the use of Google Analytics 4 pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, and you have registered an account and logged in across multiple devices, your activities, including conversions, can be analyzed across devices.

        Collection of User-Provided Data
        To improve analytical results for users whose contact data we have received as part of business or business-like relationships, we use the "User-provided data" feature.
        Subject to your explicit consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, we may transmit one or more files containing aggregated customer data (mainly email addresses and telephone numbers) to Google electronically.
        Google does not gain access to plain data. Instead, the information is encrypted automatically during transmission using a special algorithm. The encrypted information can then only be used by Google to match it to existing Google accounts.

        The processing serves to refine measurement data, improve cross-device tracking, and allow integration of analytics with Google Ads personalization and conversion tracking features.
        You may revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.
        For more details about how Google handles customer data, visit:

        The provider is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the level of data protection applicable in the EU based on an adequacy decision by the European Commission.

        When you access a page of our website containing such graphic elements, your browser establishes a direct connection to the provider's servers in order to load the elements properly. During this process, certain browser information, including your IP address, is transmitted to the provider.

        If personal data is processed in this context, such processing is carried out pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR based on our legitimate interest in the optimal marketing of our offerings and the appealing presentation of our website.

        We have entered into a data processing agreement with the provider to ensure the protection of our website visitors’ data and to prohibit unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

        If data is transferred to the provider’s location, an adequate level of data protection is guaranteed by an adequacy decision of the European Commission.

        11) Tools and Miscellaneous

        Cookie Consent Tool
        This website uses a “cookie consent tool” to obtain valid user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The cookie consent tool is displayed to users upon visiting the site in the form of an interactive user interface, allowing them to give consent for specific cookies and/or cookie-based applications by ticking checkboxes. Only those services requiring consent are activated if the user has given consent by ticking the respective box. This ensures that such cookies are only stored on the user's device if consent has been given.

        The tool sets technically necessary cookies to store your cookie preferences. In general, no personal user data is processed in this context.

        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)(f) GDPR based on our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific, and user-friendly cookie consent management and thus in the legally compliant design of our website.

        In addition, the legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. As the data controller, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of non-essential cookies dependent on the user's consent.

        Where required, we have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider to ensure the protection of our website visitors’ data and to prohibit unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

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

        12) Data Subject Rights

        12.1 The applicable data protection law grants you the following rights with respect to the controller concerning the processing of your personal data (data subject rights), with reference to the relevant legal basis for each right:

        • Right of access pursuant to Art. 15 GDPR;

        • Right to rectification pursuant to Art. 16 GDPR;

        • Right to erasure pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR;

        • Right to restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR;

        • Right to notification pursuant to Art. 19 GDPR;

        • Right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR;

        • Right to withdraw consent pursuant to Art. 7(3) GDPR;

        • Right to lodge a complaint pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR.

    12.2 RIGHT TO OBJECT
    If we process your personal data on the basis of our overriding legitimate interest within the scope of a balancing of interests, you have the right to object to this processing at any time with future effect, for reasons arising from your particular situation.
    If you exercise your right to object, we will cease processing the affected data. However, further processing remains reserved if we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms, or if the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
    If your personal data is processed by us for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purposes of such advertising. You may exercise your right to object as described above.
    If you exercise your right to object, we will cease processing the affected data for direct marketing purposes.

    13) Duration of Storage of Personal Data
    The duration of the storage of personal data depends on the respective legal basis, the purpose of processing, and – where applicable – also on the respective statutory retention period (e.g. commercial and tax retention periods).
    When processing personal data based on explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR, the data concerned will be stored until you revoke your consent.
    If statutory retention periods exist for data processed on the basis of contractual or quasi-contractual obligations pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR, this data will be routinely deleted after the retention periods have expired, provided that it is no longer required for contract fulfillment or initiation, and/or there is no legitimate interest on our part in continued storage.
    When processing personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, this data will be stored until you exercise your right to object pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
    If personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, it will be stored until you exercise your right to object pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR.
    Unless otherwise specified in the other information in this declaration concerning specific processing situations, stored personal data will otherwise be deleted when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
