If you decide to use the "Apple Pay" payment method of Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Irland, payment is processed via the "Apple Pay" function of your terminal device operated with iOS, watchOS or macOS by debiting a payment card stored in "Apple Pay". Apple Pay uses security functions integrated into the hardware and software of your device to protect your transactions. For the release of a payment, the entry of a code previously defined by you as well as verification by means of the "Face ID" or "Touch ID" function of your terminal device is therefore required.
For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provided during the order process together with the information about your order are passed on to Apple in encrypted form. Apple then encrypts these data again with a developer-specific key before the data are 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 as well as a transaction-specific, dynamic security code to the originating website to confirm the payment success.
Insofar as personal data are processed during the described transmissions, the processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR.

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 the iPhone or the Apple Watch to complete a purchase that you have made via Safari on the 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 with which your person can be identified. You can deactivate the option to use Apple Pay on your Mac in the settings of your iPhone. Go to "Wallet & Apple Pay", and deactivate "Allow payments on Mac".

Google Analytics 4
This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analysis service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Irland ("Google"), which enables an analysis of your use of our website.
By default, when the website is visited, Google Analytics 4 sets cookies, which are stored as small text modules on your terminal device and collect certain information. The scope of this information also includes your IP address, which, however, is shortened by Google by the last digits in order to exclude a direct personal reference.
The information is transferred to Google's servers and further processed there. In this respect, transmissions to Google LLC based in the USA are also possible.
Google uses the collected information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports about the website activities for us and to provide further services associated with the website use and the internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser and shortened within the scope of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google. The data collected within the scope of the use of Google Analytics 4 are stored for a period of two months and then deleted.
All processing operations described above, in particular the setting of cookies on the terminal device used, are only carried out if you have given us your express consent for this in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR.
Without your consent, Google Analytics 4 is not used during your site visit. You can revoke your consent given at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your right of revocation, please deactivate this service via the "cookie consent tool" provided on the website.
We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google that ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorised disclosure to third parties.
Further legal information on Google Analytics 4 can be found at https://business.safety.google/intl/de/privacy/, https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de and at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
Demographic characteristics
Google Analytics 4 uses the special "demographic characteristics" function and can use it to create statistics that make statements about the age, gender and interests of site visitors. This is done by analysing advertising and information from third-party providers. This makes it possible to identify target groups for marketing activities. However, the data collected cannot be assigned to a specific person and are deleted after a storage period of two months.
Google Signals
As an extension to Google Analytics 4, Google Signals can be used on this website in order to have cross-device reports created. If you have activated personalised advertisements and have linked your devices to your Google account, Google can, subject to your consent to the use of Google Analytics in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR, analyse your usage behaviour across devices and create database models, among other things on cross-device conversions. We do not receive any personal data from Google, but only statistics. If you would like to stop the cross-device analysis, you can deactivate the "personalised advertising" function in the settings of your Google account. To do so, follow the instructions on this page: https://support.google.com/My-Ad-Center-Help/answer/12155764?hl=de

Collection of data provided by users
In order to improve the analysis results for users whose contact data we have received within the scope of business or business-like relationships, we use the "collection of data provided by users" function.
Subject to your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR, within the scope of this function we transmit one or more files with customer data aggregated for your person (above all email address and telephone number) to Google by electronic means. In doing so, Google does not receive access to plain data, but automatically encrypts the information in the customer files during the transmission process by means of a special algorithm. The encrypted information can then only be used by Google to assign it to existing Google accounts that the data subjects have set up.

11) Retargeting/remarketing and conversion tracking
11.1 Google Ads conversion tracking
This website uses the online advertising program "Google Ads" and, within the scope of Google Ads, the conversion tracking of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Irland ("Google").
We use the offer of Google Ads to draw attention to our attractive offers with the help of advertising media (so-called Google Adwords) on external websites. In relation to the data of the advertising campaigns, we can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are. In doing so, we pursue the concern 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 terminal device. These cookies generally lose their validity after 30 days and do not serve for 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 forwarded to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can thus not be tracked via the websites of Google Ads customers. The information obtained with the help of the conversion cookie 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 forwarded to a page provided with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified.
Within the scope of the use of Google Ads, a transmission of personal data to the servers of Google LLC in the USA may also occur.
Details on the processing operations triggered by Google Ads conversion tracking and on Google's handling of data from websites can be found here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
All processing operations described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading out information on the terminal device used, are only carried out if you have given us your express consent to this in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent given at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the "cookie consent tool" provided on the website.
You can also permanently object to the setting of cookies by Google Ads conversion tracking by downloading and installing the browser plug-in from Google available at the following link:

In order to address users whose data we have received within the scope of business or business-like relationships in an even more interest-oriented advertising manner, we use a customer matching function within the scope of Google Ads. For this purpose, we transmit one or more files with aggregated customer data (above all email addresses and telephone numbers) to Google by electronic means. In doing so, Google does not receive access to plain data, but automatically encrypts the information in the customer files during the transmission process by means of a special algorithm. The encrypted information can then only be used by Google to assign it to existing Google accounts that the data subjects have set up. This enables the delivery of personalised advertising across all Google services linked to the respective Google account.
The transmission of customer data to Google is carried out exclusively if you have given us express consent to this in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. You can revoke this consent vis-à-vis us at any time with effect for the future. Further information on Google's data protection measures with regard to the customer matching function can be found here: https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/6334160?hl=de&ref_topic=10550182

11.2 TikTok Pixel
This website uses the conversion tracking technology of the following provider: TikTok Technology Limited, 10 Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin, D02 T380, Irland
If you have reached our website from an advertisement on the provider's domain, the success of the advertisement can be traced with the help of cookies and/or comparable technologies (tracking pixels, web beacons, pings or HTTP requests).
For this purpose, certain terminal device and browser information, where applicable also 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, views of product pages). This makes it possible to create statistics about the usage behaviour on our website after forwarding from an advertisement, which serve us to optimise our offer.
All processing operations described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading out information on the terminal device used, are only carried out if you have given us your express consent to this in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR.
