If you contact us via WhatsApp regarding a specific transaction (for example, a placed order), we store and use your mobile number used on WhatsApp and – if provided – your first and last name in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b. GDPR to process and respond to your request. Based on the same legal basis, we may ask you via WhatsApp to provide further data (order number, customer number, address or email address) in order to be able to assign your request to a specific process.

9.10 Use of payment service providers (payment services)

- Apple Pay

If you choose the "Apple Pay" payment method from Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, payment processing takes place via the "Apple Pay" function of your iOS, watchOS or macOS device by debiting 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 enter a code previously set by you and verify it using the "Face ID" or "Touch ID" function of your device.

For the purpose of payment processing, your information communicated during the order process, along with information about your order, is transmitted 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 for payment execution. 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 originating website to confirm the success of the payment.

If personal data is processed in the described transmissions, the processing takes place exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

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

When you use Apple Pay on your iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase you made via Safari on your Mac, your 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 can identify you personally. You can disable the option 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 for Apple Pay can be found at the following internet address: https://support.apple.com/de-de/HT203027
- Google Pay

If you choose "Google Pay" as the payment method from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"), payment processing is carried out via the "Google Pay" application on your mobile device (running at least Android 4.4 ("KitKat") and equipped with an NFC function) by charging a payment card stored with Google Pay or a verified payment system there (e.g. PayPal). To authorize a payment via Google Pay exceeding €25, your mobile device must first be unlocked using the respective verification method (such as facial recognition, password, fingerprint, or pattern).

For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provide during the order process, along with information about your order, will be forwarded 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 verifies a completed payment. This transaction number contains no information about the real payment data of your payment methods stored with Google Pay, but is created and transmitted as a unique numeric token. For all transactions via Google Pay, Google merely acts as an intermediary for processing the payment. The transaction is carried out exclusively between the user and the originating website by debiting the payment method stored with Google Pay.

Insofar as 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.

Google reserves the right to collect, store and evaluate certain transaction-specific information for every transaction made 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 have 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 is carried out exclusively in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of the legitimate interest in proper accounting, verification of transaction data and the optimization and maintenance of the Google Pay service.

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

The Google Pay terms of use can be found here:

11) Retargeting/ Remarketing and Conversion Tracking

11.1 Meta Pixel

Within our online offering, we use the "Meta Pixel" service from the following provider: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Quare, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Meta")

If a user clicks on an advertisement placed by us on Facebook and/or Instagram, the URL of our linked page is extended by a parameter using "Meta Pixel". This URL parameter is then entered into the user's browser after redirection by a cookie that our linked page itself sets.

This allows Meta, on the one hand, to define the visitors to our online offering as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called "Ads"). Accordingly, we use the service to display the Facebook and/or Instagram Ads placed by us only to users who have shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g., interests in certain topics or products, which are determined based on the websites visited) that we transmit to Meta (so-called "Custom Audiences").

On the other hand, the "Meta Pixel" can be used to track whether users have been redirected to our website after clicking on an advertisement and what actions they perform there (so-called "Conversion Tracking").

The collected data is anonymous to us, meaning it does not allow us to draw conclusions about 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, will only take place if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. 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 concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

The information generated by Meta is usually transferred to a Meta server and stored there; in this context, a transfer to Meta Platforms Inc. servers in the USA may also occur.

11.2 Google Ads Remarketing

This website uses retargeting technology from the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland

Further data processing only takes place if you have agreed with Google that your internet and app browsing history will be linked to your Google account and information from your Google account will be used to personalize ads you see on the web. If you are logged into Google during your visit to our website in this case, Google uses your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define audience lists for cross-device remarketing. For this purpose, your personal data is temporarily linked with Google Analytics data by Google to form target groups. Within the scope of using Google Ads Remarketing, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.

All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Without this consent, retargeting technology will not be used during your visit to the site.

You can revoke your given consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your right of revocation, please deactivate this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

Details on the processing initiated by Google and Google's handling of data from websites can be found here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

This allows us to specifically address visitors to our websites with personalized, interest-based advertising who have already shown an interest in our shop and our products. The advertising material is displayed based on a cookie-based analysis of past and current user behavior.

In the case of retargeting technology, a cookie is stored on your computer or mobile device to collect pseudonymized data about your interests and thus adapt the advertising individually to the stored information. These cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device. You are thus shown advertising that is highly likely to match your product and information interests.

You can revoke your given consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your right of revocation, please deactivate this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

11.4 Google Ads Conversion Tracking without cookies

This website uses the "Google Ads" online advertising program and, within the scope of Google Ads, the conversion tracking of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google").

We use the Google Ads offer to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites using advertising materials (so-called Google Adwords). We can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are in relation to the data of the advertising campaigns. 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.

This website uses Google Ads Conversion Tracking exclusively without the use of cookies, which means that the service does not set cookies on your device at any time.

Instead, your browser's local storage is used to store an individual ID assigned by Google, which enables an analysis of your use of the website. For this purpose, certain user information is processed via the ID.

The ID is set when a user clicks on an ad served by Google. If the user visits certain pages of this website, 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 can therefore not be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers. The information thus obtained is used to generate 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 with a conversion tracking tag.

However, you do not receive any information that personally identifies users. In the context of using Google Ads, personal data may also be transferred to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA. Details on the processing initiated by Google Ads Conversion Tracking and Google's handling of data from websites can be found here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

Insofar as the collected information relates to a person, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the statistical evaluation of the success of our advertising campaigns.
Google's privacy policy can be viewed here: https://business.safety.google/intl/de/privacy/ and https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/

For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European data protection level on the basis of an adequacy decision by the European Commission.

This website uses a so-called "cookie consent tool" to obtain effective user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The "cookie consent tool" is displayed to users when they access the page in the form of an interactive user interface, on which consent for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be given by checking a box. The tool ensures that all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective user gives their consent by checking the box. This ensures that such cookies are only placed on the user's end device if consent has been given.

The tool sets technically necessary cookies to save your cookie preferences. Personal user data is generally not 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 in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific and user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus in a legally compliant design of our website.

A further legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. As the controller, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user's consent.

Where necessary, we have concluded an order processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

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

13.3 Judge.me

To verify and publish customer reviews, we use the services of the following provider: Judge.me Ltd., c/o Buckworths, 2nd Floor, 1-3 Worship Street, London, England, EC2A 2AB, United Kingdom

If you submit a review on our website, your first and last name, e-mail address, order date and number, as well as the name and international references (GTIN/ISDNF) will be collected, transmitted to the provider and evaluated there to decide on the legitimacy of a customer review for a specific order. These processing operations are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in ensuring the authenticity of customer reviews by ensuring transaction relatedness and preventing review misuse. After the review has been checked and approved, the data will be deleted by the provider.

In the event of data transfer to the provider's location, an adequate level of data protection is guaranteed by an adequacy decision of the European Commission.

If statutory retention periods exist for data processed within the framework of legal or quasi-legal obligations on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, this data will be routinely deleted after the retention periods have expired, provided it is no longer required for contract fulfillment or contract initiation and/or we no longer have a legitimate interest in continued storage.

When processing personal data for direct marketing purposes on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, this data will be stored until you exercise your right to object under Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR.
