8.4 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, the payment processing will be carried out via the "Apple Pay" function of your iOS, watchOS or macOS-operated terminal device by debiting a payment card deposited with "Apple Pay". Apple Pay uses security features built into the hardware and software of your device to protect your transactions. In order 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 of your terminal. For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provide during the ordering process, together with the information about your order, will be 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 for payment processing. The encryption ensures that only the website from which the purchase was made can access the payment data. Once the payment has been made, Apple will send your device account number and a transaction-specific dynamic security code to the originating website to confirm payment. If personal data is processed in the described transmissions, the processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO. Apple stores anonymised transaction data, including the approximate amount of the purchase, the approximate date and time and whether the transaction was completed successfully. Anonymisation completely excludes any personal reference. Apple uses the anonymised data to improve Apple Pay and other Apple products and services. When you use Apple Pay on iPhone or the Apple Watch to complete a purchase made through Safari on Mac, the Mac and the authorization device communicate through an encrypted channel on Apple's 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 preferences. Go to "Wallet & Apple Pay" and disable "Allow payments on Mac". For more information about Apple Pay privacy, please see the following web address: https://support.apple.com/de-de/HT203027
Google Pay
If you choose the payment method "Google Pay" of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"), the payment processing is carried out via the "Google Pay" application of your mobile device operated with at least Android 4.4 ("KitKat") and having an NFC function by charging a payment card deposited at Google Pay or a payment system verified there (e.g. PayPal). For the release of a payment via Google Pay in the amount of more than 25,- € the prior unlocking of your mobile device by the respective verification measure (such as face recognition, password, fingerprint or pattern) is required. For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provide during the ordering process, together with the information about your order, is passed on to Google. Google then transmits your payment information stored in Google Pay in the form of a uniquely assigned transaction number to the originating website, which is used to verify that payment has been made. This transaction number does not contain any information about the real payment data of your means of payment deposited with Google Pay, but is created and transmitted as a uniquely valid numeric token. For all transactions via Google Pay, Google acts only as an intermediary to process the payment transaction. The transaction is carried out exclusively in the relationship between the user and the source website by debiting the means of payment deposited with Google Pay. If personal data are processed in the described transmissions, the processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO. 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 provided by the merchant of the goods or services purchased, photos that you attached to the transaction, the name and email address of the seller and buyer or the 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 is carried out exclusively in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO on the basis of a legitimate interest in proper billing, verification of transaction data and optimisation and maintenance of the functionality of the Google Pay service. Google also reserves the right to combine the processed transaction data with other information which is collected and stored by Google when using other Google services.

9) Online marketing
9.1 Facebook pixels for creating custom audiences (without Cookie Consent Tool)
Within our online offer the so-called "Facebook pixel" of the social network Facebook is used, which is operated by Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Quare, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook").
If a user clicks on an advertisement placed by us, which is played on Facebook, an addition is added to the URL of our linked page by Facebook pixel. To the extent that our pixel-based site allows data to be shared with Facebook, this URL parameter is written to the user's browser via a cookie that our linked site sets itself. This cookie is then read by Facebook Pixel and enables the data to be forwarded to Facebook.
With the help of the Facebook pixel, Facebook is on the one hand able to determine the visitors of our online offer as a target group for the presentation of ads (so-called "Facebook ads"). Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixel in order to display the Facebook Ads placed by us only to those Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online offer or who exhibit certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited), which we transmit to Facebook (so-called "custom audiences"). With the help of the Facebook pixel, we also want to ensure that our Facebook Ads correspond to the potential interest of users and do not appear annoying. This allows us to further evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook Ads for statistical and market research purposes by tracking whether users have been redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook Ad (so-called "conversion").
The data collected is anonymous to us, so we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with the Facebook Data Usage Guidelines (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). The data may enable Facebook and its partners to place advertisements on and outside of Facebook.
The data processing associated with the use of the Facebook Pixel is based on our predominantly legitimate interest in the evaluation, optimization and economic operation of our online offering and our advertising measures in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.
The information generated by Facebook is usually transferred to a Facebook server and stored there, and may also be transferred to the servers of Facebook Inc. in the USA. Facebook Inc. with headquarters in the USA is certified for the us-European data protection agreement "Privacy Shield", which guarantees compliance with the data protection level applicable in the EU.
In order to object to the collection by the Facebook pixel and the use of your data for the display of Facebook ads in general, you can set an opt-out cookie by clicking on the link below, which deactivates Facebook pixel tracking: disable Facebook pixel tracking
This opt-out cookie only works in this browser and only for this domain. If you delete your cookies in this browser, you will need to click the above link again.
Insofar as legally required, we have obtained your consent for the above processing of your data in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO.

This may also result in a transfer to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.
Google uses the information thus obtained to evaluate your usage behaviour with regard to the AdSense ads. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google AdSense is not merged with other data from Google. The information collected by Google may be transferred to third parties if this is legally required and/or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google.
The described processing of data is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 letter f DSGVO for the purpose of targeting the user in advertising by advertising third parties whose ads are displayed on this website on the basis of the evaluated user behavior.

This website also uses the Google Signals service as an extension of Google Analytics. With Google Signals we can have Google generate cross-device reports (so-called "cross device tracking"). If you have activated "personalized ads" in your Google Account settings and you have linked your internet-enabled devices to your Google Account, Google can analyze user behavior across devices and create database models based on this. The logins and device types of all page visitors who were logged into a Google Account and performed a conversion will be taken into account.
