If you select a payment method from the provider that requires you to pay in advance (such as 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 contents of your order will be transmitted to the provider in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. In this case, your data will be shared exclusively 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 payment method "Apple Pay" from Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, the payment processing will be carried out via the "Apple Pay" function on your device operated with iOS, watchOS, or macOS by charging a payment card stored in "Apple Pay." Apple Pay uses security features that are 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 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 details about your order, will be transmitted to Apple in encrypted form. Apple then re-encrypts this data with a developer-specific key before transmitting it to the payment service provider of the payment card stored in Apple Pay for the execution of 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 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 is carried out 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, the 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 made via Safari on your Mac, the Mac and the authorization device communicate through 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 ability to use Apple Pay on your Mac in your iPhone settings. Go to "Wallet & Apple Pay" and turn off "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-en/HT203027
- Google Pay

If you choose the payment method "Google Pay" from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"), the payment processing will be 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 another verified payment system there (e.g., PayPal). To authorize a payment via Google Pay exceeding 25,- €, you must first unlock your mobile device using the verification method you have set up (such as facial recognition, password, fingerprint, or pattern).

For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provide during the ordering process, along with details about your order, will be forwarded 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 a successful payment. This transaction number contains no 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. For all transactions via Google Pay, Google acts solely as an intermediary for processing the payment. The execution of the transaction takes place exclusively between the user and the originating website by charging the payment method stored in Google Pay.

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 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 have 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, as well as any offer associated with the transaction, if applicable.

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 that is collected and stored by Google when using additional Google services.

11) Retargeting/ Remarketing and Conversion Tracking

11.1 Meta Pixel with advanced data matching

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

If a user clicks on an advertisement we have placed on Facebook 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 means of a cookie set by our linked page itself. In addition, this cookie collects specific customer data such as the email address, which we collect on our website linked to the Facebook or Instagram ad during processes such as purchases, account logins, or registrations (advanced data matching). The cookie is then read and enables the transmission of the data, including the specific customer data, to Meta.

We use "Meta Pixel" with advanced data matching to make our advertisements (so-called "Ads") on Facebook and/or Instagram more effective and to ensure that they match users' interests or have certain characteristics (e.g., interests in specific topics or products determined by the websites visited), which we transmit to Meta (so-called "Custom Audiences").

In addition, we analyze the effectiveness of our advertisements by tracking whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on an ad (conversion). Compared to the standard version of "Meta Pixel," the advanced data matching feature helps us better measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns by capturing more attributed conversions.

All submitted data is stored and processed by Meta, so that it can be assigned to the respective user profile and Meta can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with Meta's data usage policies (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/) can be used. The data may enable Meta and its partners to display ads on and off Facebook.

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. You can revoke your 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 website visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

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

11.2 Google Ads Conversion Tracking

We use the services of Google Ads to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites with the help of advertising materials (so-called Google Adwords). With regard to the data from the advertising campaigns, we can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are. Our aim is to show you advertising that is of interest to you, to make our website more appealing to 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 generally 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 has clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Therefore, cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers. The information collected using 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 personally identify users.

As part of the use of Google Ads, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.

Details about 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

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:
https://support.google.com/My-Ad-Center-Help/answer/12155656?hl=en

In order to address users whose data we have received in the context of business or business-like relationships with even more targeted advertising, we use a customer matching function within Google Ads. For this purpose, we electronically transmit one or more files containing aggregated customer data (primarily email addresses and telephone numbers) to Google. Google does not gain access to plain data in this process; instead, the information in the customer files is automatically encrypted by a special algorithm during transmission. The encrypted information can then only be used by Google to match it to existing Google accounts that the individuals concerned have set up. This enables the delivery of personalized advertising across all Google services linked to the respective Google account.

The transmission of customer data to Google only takes place if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You may revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. Further information on Google's data protection measures regarding the customer matching function can be found here: https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/6334160?hl=en&ref_topic=10550182

GMP uses cookies to display relevant ads to users, improve campaign performance reports, or prevent a user from seeing the same ads multiple times. Using a cookie ID, Google records which ads are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being shown multiple times. In addition, GMP can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions that are related to ad requests. This occurs, for example, when a user sees a GMP ad and later, while using the same browser, visits the advertiser's website and makes a purchase through that website. According to Google, GMP cookies do not contain any personal information.
Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with Google's server.

We have no influence over the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our current knowledge as follows: By integrating GMP, Google receives the information that you have accessed the relevant part of our website or clicked on one of our ads. If you are registered with a Google service, Google may associate your visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or are not logged in, it is possible that the provider may obtain and store your IP address. In the context of using GMP, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.

12.14 Shopsync for Shopify

This website uses the Shopify app "Shopsync" by ShopSync LLC, PO Box 252, Jefferson City, TN 37760, USA.
With the help of ShopSync, the newsletter service "Mailchimp" is synchronized with our Shopify account in such a way that, on the one hand, updates in Mailchimp's email lists (such as a completed opt-out by a newsletter recipient) are automatically also recorded in Shopify, and on the other hand, new contact data generated through contract conclusions on Shopify are automatically transferred to Mailchimp's email lists.

In the former case, data processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the effective and cross-system maintenance of advertising recipient files and the efficient observance of legally significant status changes.

In the second case, based solely on the user's explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, after a contract has been concluded on Shopify, the user's first and last name, address, and email address, together with transaction-related information (purchase amount, time and date of purchase), are transferred by ShopSync to Mailchimp for inclusion in the Mailchimp list.

Such transferred data is not stored or retained by ShopSync after synchronization. All information synchronized between Shopify and Mailchimp is transmitted using SSL technology (Secure Socket Layer), and all transferred information remains encrypted during the synchronization process.

The synchronization process requires the transfer of information over a secure connection to servers hosted by Amazon Web Services in the USA.

13.1 - Lexware Office

For accounting purposes, we use the service of the cloud-based accounting software provided by the following company: Haufe-Lexware GmbH & Co. KG, Munzinger Straße 9, 79111 Freiburg, Germany

The provider processes incoming and outgoing invoices as well as, if applicable, our company's bank transactions in order to automatically capture invoices, match them to transactions, and use this information to create financial accounting in a semi-automated process.

If personal data is also processed in this context, the processing is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in the efficient organization and documentation of our business operations in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

13.2 Cookie Consent Tool

This website uses a so-called "cookie consent tool" to obtain valid user consents for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The "cookie consent tool" is presented to users upon visiting the site in the form of an interactive user interface, where consents for specific cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be granted by checking boxes. In this process, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective user has given the corresponding consent by checking the box. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the user's device if consent has been granted.

The tool sets technically necessary cookies to store your cookie preferences. Personal user data is generally not processed in this context.

If, in individual cases, the processing of personal data (such as the IP address) occurs for the purpose of storing, assigning, or logging cookie settings, this is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in a legally compliant, user-specific, and user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus in a legally compliant design of our website.

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

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

You can find more information about the operator and the settings options of the cookie consent tool directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.

For security purposes, this website uses the service of the following provider: Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St. San Francisco, CA 94107, USA

The provider protects the website and the associated IT infrastructure from unauthorized third-party access, cyberattacks, as well as from viruses and malware. The provider collects the IP addresses of users and, if applicable, additional data regarding your behavior on our website (in particular, accessed URLs and header information) in order to detect and prevent illegitimate page accesses and threats. The collected IP address is compared with a list of known attackers. If the collected IP address is identified as a security risk, the provider may automatically block it from accessing the site. The information collected in this way is transmitted to a server of the provider and stored there.

The described data processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interests in protecting the website from harmful cyber-attacks and in maintaining structural and data integrity and security.

When you submit a review on our website, your first and last name, email address, order date and number, as well as the name and international references (GTIN/ISDNF) are collected, transmitted to the provider, and evaluated there to determine the legitimacy of a customer review for a specific order. These processes 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 verifying their relation to a transaction and preventing review abuse. After the review has been checked and approved, the data will be deleted by the provider.

In the case of data transmission to the provider's location, an adequate level of data protection is ensured by an adequacy decision of the European Commission.
