7.3 Use of Payment Service Providers (Payment Services)

- Apple Pay

If you choose the “Apple Pay” payment method of Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, payment is processed via the “Apple Pay” function of your end device operated with iOS, watchOS, or macOS by charging a payment card stored with “Apple Pay”. Apple Pay uses security features integrated into your device’s hardware and software to protect your transactions. To authorize a payment, it is therefore necessary to enter a code previously set by you and verify it using the “Face ID” or “Touch ID” function of your end device.

For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provide during the ordering process, together with information about your order, is transmitted to Apple in encrypted form. Apple then re-encrypts this data with a developer-specific key before transmitting the data to the payment service provider of the payment card stored in Apple Pay for the purpose of carrying 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 and a transaction-specific, dynamic security code to the originating website to confirm the success of the payment.

If 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.

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 personal reference. Apple uses the anonymized data to improve “Apple Pay” and other Apple products and services.

If you use Apple Pay on iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase you made via Safari on Mac, the Mac and the authorization device communicate over 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 disable “Allow Payments on Mac”.

Further information on data protection at Apple Pay can be found at the following internet address: https://support.apple.com/de-de/HT203027
- Google Pay

If you choose the “Google Pay” payment method of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”), payment is processed via the “Google Pay” application on your mobile end device equipped with at least Android 4.4 (“KitKat”) and an NFC function by charging a payment card stored with Google Pay or a payment system verified there (e.g. PayPal). To authorize a payment via Google Pay of more than 25,- €, your mobile end device must first be unlocked using the verification method set up in each case (such as facial recognition, password, fingerprint, or pattern).

For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provide during the ordering process, together with information about your order, is transmitted to Google. Google then transmits your payment information stored in Google Pay to the originating website in the form of a uniquely assigned transaction number, which is used to verify that a payment has been made. This transaction number contains no information about the actual payment data of your payment method stored in Google Pay, but is created and transmitted as a one-time valid numerical token. For all transactions via Google Pay, Google acts merely as an intermediary for processing the payment. The transaction is carried out exclusively in the relationship between the user and the originating website by charging the payment method stored in Google Pay.

If 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 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, where 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, the 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 further information collected and stored by Google when other Google services are used.

These plugins enable direct interactions with content on the social network.

This integration ensures that when a page on our website containing such plugins is accessed, no connection to the provider’s servers is yet established.

Only when you activate the plugins and thereby give your consent to the data transfer in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR does your browser establish a direct connection to the provider’s servers. In this process, regardless of whether you are logged into an existing user profile, a certain amount of information about your end device used (including your IP address), your browser, and your page history is transmitted to the provider and may be further processed there.

If you are logged into an existing user profile on the provider’s social network, information about interactions carried out via the plugins is also published there and shown to your contacts.
You can revoke your consent at any time by deactivating the activated plugin again by clicking on it once more. However, the revocation does not affect data that has already been transmitted to the provider.

Data may also be transferred to: Meta Platforms Inc., USA

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider that ensures the protection of our website visitors’ data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

If playback of embedded videos is started via the plugin, the provider also uses cookies to collect information about user behavior, create playback statistics, and prevent abusive behavior.

If you are logged into a user account with the provider during your visit to our website, your data will be directly assigned to your account when you click on a video. If you do not want this assignment to your account, you must log out before clicking the play button.

All of the aforementioned processing, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the end device used, only takes place if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Conversely, on the basis of your consent, data (e.g. information about your browsing or purchasing behavior) may be transferred by us to your account with the provider.
