Otherwise, for the purpose of delivery, we only pass on the recipient's name and delivery address to the provider pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Disclosure only occurs to the extent necessary for delivery of the goods. In this case, prior coordination of the delivery date with the provider or delivery announcement is not possible.

Consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future, either against the controller named above or against the provider.

8.3 Use of Payment Service Providers

Apple Pay

If you choose the "Apple Pay" payment method offered by Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, payment is 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 security features integrated into the hardware and software of your device to protect your transactions. To authorize a payment, you must therefore enter a code you previously set as well as verify using the "Face ID" or "Touch ID" function of your device.

For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provide during the ordering process, along with information about your order, is transmitted to Apple in encrypted form. Apple then re-encrypts this data with 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. 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 originating website to confirm the success of the payment.

Insofar as personal data is processed in the transfers described, processing takes place exclusively for the purpose of payment processing pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Apple retains anonymized transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, the approximate date and time, and whether the transaction was successfully completed. Anonymization completely excludes any connection to a person. Apple uses the anonymized data to improve "Apple Pay" and other Apple products and services.

If you use Apple Pay on the iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase you made via Safari on a 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 could 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 with Apple Pay can be found at the following internet address: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203027

Google Pay

If you choose the "Google Pay" payment method offered by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"), payment is processed via the "Google Pay" application of your mobile device running at least Android 4.4 ("KitKat") and equipped with NFC functionality, by charging a payment card stored in Google Pay or a payment system verified there (e.g. PayPal). To authorize a payment via Google Pay of more than €25, you must first unlock your mobile device using the verification method you have set up (e.g. facial recognition, password, fingerprint, or pattern).

For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provide during the ordering process, along with information about your order, is passed on to Google. Google then transmits your payment information stored in Google Pay in the form of a one-time transaction number to the originating website, which is used to verify that a payment has been made. This transaction number does not contain any information about the actual payment data of your payment methods stored in Google Pay, but is created and transmitted as a one-time valid numeric token. In all transactions via Google Pay, Google only acts as an intermediary for processing the payment. The transaction is carried out exclusively between you and the originating website by charging the payment method stored in Google Pay.

Insofar as personal data is processed in the transfers described, processing takes place exclusively for the purpose of payment processing pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Google reserves the right to collect, store and evaluate certain transaction-specific information for each transaction carried out via Google Pay. This includes the date, time and amount of the transaction, merchant location and description, a description of the purchased goods or services provided by the merchant, photos you attached 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 reason for the transaction, and, if applicable, the offer associated with the transaction.

According to Google, this processing takes place exclusively pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR based on the legitimate interest in proper invoicing, verification of transaction data, and optimization and maintenance of the Google Pay service's functionality.

Google also reserves the right to merge the processed transaction data with other information collected and stored by Google when using other Google services.

If you select a payment method offered by the provider where you make an advance payment (e.g. credit card payment), your payment data provided during the ordering process (including name, address, bank and card information, currency, and transaction number) as well as information about the content of your order will be passed on to the provider pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. In this case, your data is disclosed exclusively for the purpose of payment processing with the provider and only to the extent necessary for this.

If you select a payment method where the provider makes an advance payment (e.g. invoice or installment purchase, or direct debit), you will also be asked during the ordering process to provide certain personal data (first and last name, street, house number, postal code, city, date of birth, email address, telephone number, and, if applicable, data on an alternative payment method).

To safeguard our legitimate interest in determining our customers' creditworthiness, this data is forwarded by us to the provider pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR for the purpose of a credit check. Based on the personal data you provide as well as further data (such as shopping cart, invoice amount, order history, payment experience), the provider checks whether the payment option you have selected can be granted with regard to payment and/or default risks.

For the decision within the scope of the application review, identity and credit information from the following credit agencies may also be included, in addition to internal criteria, pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR:

The credit report may contain probability values (so-called score values). Insofar as score values are included in the result of the credit report, they are based on a scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical procedure. Among other things, but not exclusively, address data 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 remain entitled to process your personal data insofar as this is necessary for contractual payment processing.

To provide the electronic withdrawal function, we use a solution from the following provider: EU Withdrawal Button Pro / Ecombeat, Garnisonsgasse 4/11, Vienna, 1090, Austria.

When using the withdrawal function, in addition to information to identify the contract to be withdrawn from, further personal information such as the consumer's first and last name and email address must be provided or confirmed.

This information is first collected by the provider based on our legitimate interest in a user-friendly, stable, and process-optimized solution pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, then used to confirm receipt of the withdrawal declaration on our behalf by email, and finally transmitted to us. We subsequently process the transmitted information for the proper handling of the withdrawal pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR and Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR based on our statutory obligation to provide an electronic withdrawal function for consumer distance contracts subject to a fee.

The information collected by the provider is routinely deleted after final processing of a withdrawal, provided there are no statutory retention obligations to the contrary.

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

Data is also transferred to: Shopify Inc., 150 Elgin St, Ottawa, ON K2P 1L4, Canada.

11) Retargeting/Remarketing and Conversion Tracking

11.1 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 you click on an advertisement placed by us on Facebook and/or Instagram, "Meta Pixel" is used to add a parameter to the URL of our linked page. After redirection, this URL parameter is entered into the user's browser via a cookie set by our linked page itself.

This makes it possible, on the one hand, for Meta to determine visitors of our online offering as a target group for displaying advertisements (so-called "ads"). Accordingly, we use this service to only show the Facebook and/or Instagram ads we place to users who have also shown interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined based on the websites visited), which we transmit to Meta (so-called "custom audiences").

On the other hand, "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 data collected is anonymous to us, i.e. it gives us no insight into 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 information on the device used, only takes place if you have given us your express consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can revoke your given 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 that ensures the protection of our visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

The information generated by Meta is generally transmitted to and stored on a Meta server; in this context, transmission to Meta Platforms Inc.'s servers in the USA is also possible.

11.5 Google Ads Conversion Tracking

This website uses the "Google Ads" online advertising program and, within 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 using advertising materials (so-called Google Adwords). We can determine, based on the advertising campaign data, how successful the individual advertising measures are. In doing so, our aim is to show you advertising that is of interest to you, to make our website more interesting for you, and to achieve a fair calculation of the advertising costs incurred.

The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device. These cookies usually expire 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 with the help of 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 tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. As part of the use of Google Ads, personal data may also be transmitted to Google LLC's servers in the USA.

Details on the processing initiated by Google Ads Conversion Tracking and how Google handles data from websites can be found here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

11.6 Google Marketing Platform

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

GMP uses cookies to place ads relevant to users, improve campaign performance reports, or to avoid showing you the same ads multiple times. Using a cookie ID, Google records which ads are shown in which browser and can thereby prevent them from being displayed multiple times. In addition, GMP can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, if you see a GMP ad and later, using the same browser, visit the advertiser's website and purchase something via that website. According to Google, GMP cookies do not contain personal information. Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with Google's server.

We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool, and therefore inform you accordingly, to the best of our knowledge, as follows: By integrating GMP, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an ad from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or are not logged in, it is possible that the provider will find out and store your IP address. As part of the use of GMP, personal data may also be transmitted to Google LLC's servers in the USA.

The tags are never used for personal identification of users.

All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the device used, only takes place if you have given us your express consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Without this consent, retargeting technology will not be used during your page visit.

For this purpose, certain device and browser information, possibly including your IP address, is read 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, views of product pages).
