7) Use of customer data for direct marketing

7.1 Subscription to our email newsletter

If you subscribe to our email newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our offers. The only mandatory information required to receive the newsletter is your email address. The provision of any further data is voluntary and is used to enable us to address you personally. We use the so-called ‘double opt-in’ procedure to send the newsletter, which ensures that you will only receive the newsletter once you have expressly confirmed your consent to receive it by clicking on a verification link sent to the email address you provided.

By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent to the use of your personal data in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. In doing so, we store your IP address as recorded by your Internet Service Provider (ISP), as well as the date and time of registration, so that we can trace any potential misuse of your email address at a later date. The data we collect when you subscribe to the newsletter is used strictly for the purpose for which it was collected.

You may unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via the link provided in the newsletter or by sending a message to the data controller named at the beginning of this notice. Once you have unsubscribed, your email address will be deleted immediately from our newsletter distribution list, provided you have not expressly consented to the further use of your data or we reserve the right to use your email address for advertising purposes beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this statement.

After unsubscribing from the newsletter, your email address may be stored in a so-called ‘block list’ and cross-referenced against recipient lists for future newsletters to technically prevent the re-sending of newsletters that require your consent. This processing is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in preventing unsolicited advertising mailings in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

Where we are obliged, on the basis of a relevant contract, to provide updates for goods containing digital elements or for digital products, we process the contact details you provided when placing your order in order to inform you personally in accordance with our statutory information obligations under Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. Your contact details will be used strictly for the specific purpose of sending notifications regarding updates we are obliged to provide and will be processed by us for this purpose only to the extent necessary for the provision of the relevant information.

Otherwise, for the purpose of delivery in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, we will only pass on the recipient’s name and the delivery address to the provider. The data will only be disclosed to the extent necessary for the delivery of the goods. In this case, it is not possible to arrange a delivery date with the supplier in advance or to provide advance notice of delivery.

Consent may be withdrawn at any time with future effect by contacting the data controller named above or the supplier.

8.3 Use of payment service providers

- Apple Pay

If you choose the ‘Apple Pay’ payment method provided by Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, payment processing takes place via the ‘Apple Pay’ function on your device running iOS, watchOS or macOS by debiting a payment card stored with ‘Apple Pay’. Apple Pay uses security features integrated into your device’s hardware and software to protect your transactions. Authorising a payment therefore requires you to enter a code you have previously set, as well as verification via your device’s ‘Face ID’ or ‘Touch ID’ feature.

For the purpose of processing the payment, the information you provide during the ordering process, together with details of your order, is transmitted to Apple in encrypted form. Apple then encrypts this data once again using a developer-specific key before the data is transmitted to the payment service provider associated with the payment card stored in Apple Pay to process the payment. The encryption ensures that only the website through which the purchase was made can access the payment data. Once the payment has been made, Apple sends your device account number and a transaction-specific, dynamic security code to the originating website to confirm that the payment was successful.

Where personal data is processed in connection with the transmissions described, such processing is carried out solely for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.

Apple retains anonymised transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, the approximate date and time, and an indication of whether the transaction was successfully completed. Anonymisation completely precludes any link to an individual. Apple uses the anonymised 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 that you initiated via Safari on your Mac, your Mac and the authorisation device communicate via an encrypted channel through Apple’s servers. Apple does not process or store any of this information in a format that could be used to identify you personally. You can disable the option to use Apple Pay on your Mac in your iPhone’s settings. Go to ‘Wallet & Apple Pay’ and turn off ‘Allow Payments on Mac’.

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

If you choose the ‘Google Pay’ payment method provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (‘Google’), the payment will be processed using the payment method stored in your Google Account.
To authorise a payment via Google Pay on a desktop, you must first log in to your Google account; to authorise a payment on a mobile device, you must complete the relevant verification process (e.g. via facial recognition, password, fingerprint or pattern).

For the purposes of payment processing, the information you provide during the ordering process, together with details of your order, will be passed on to Google. Google then transmits your payment details stored in Google Pay to the originating website in the form of a one-off transaction number, which is used to verify that the payment has been made. This transaction number does not contain any information regarding the actual payment details of your payment method stored with Google Pay, but is generated and transmitted as a one-off valid numerical token. For all transactions via Google Pay, Google acts solely as an intermediary in the processing of the payment transaction. The transaction is carried out exclusively between the user and the originating website by debiting the payment method stored in Google Pay.

Google reserves the right to collect, store and analyse certain transaction-specific information for every transaction carried out 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 provided by the merchant, any 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, and, where applicable, the offer associated with the transaction.

According to Google, this processing is carried out exclusively in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR on the basis of a legitimate interest in proper accounting, the verification of transaction data, and the optimisation and maintenance of the Google Pay service.

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

In this case, your data is disclosed solely for the purpose of processing the payment with the provider and only to the extent necessary for this purpose.

If you select a payment method where we advance the payment, you will also be asked during the ordering process to provide certain personal data (first name and surname, street, house number, postcode, town, date of birth, email address, telephone number and, where applicable, details of an alternative payment method).

In such cases, in order to safeguard our legitimate interest in assessing your creditworthiness, we will pass this data on to the provider in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR for the purpose of a credit check. The provider checks, on the basis of the personal data you have provided as well as other data (such as your shopping basket, invoice amount, order history and payment history), whether the payment method you have selected can be authorised in view of the risks of non-payment and/or bad debt.

The credit report may contain probability values (so-called ‘score’ values). Where score values are included in the credit assessment report, they are based on a scientifically recognised mathematical and statistical method. The calculation of the score values takes into account, amongst other things but not exclusively, address details.

You may object to this processing of your data at any time by sending a message to us or to the provider. However, the provider may still be entitled to process your personal data where this is necessary for the contractual processing of payments.

10) Website features

Google Web Fonts

This website uses so-called web fonts from the following provider to ensure consistent font display: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland

When you visit a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into its cache to display text and fonts correctly, and establishes a direct connection to the provider’s servers. In doing so, certain browser information, including your IP address, is transmitted to the provider.

Data may also be transmitted to: Google LLC, USA

The processing of personal data when establishing a connection with the font provider will only take place if you have given us your explicit consent to do so in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.

11) Tools and other information

Cookie Consent Tool

This website uses a so-called ‘Cookie Consent Tool’ to obtain valid user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The ‘Cookie Consent Tool’ is displayed to users when they visit the page in the form of an interactive user interface, on which consent for specific cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be granted by ticking the relevant boxes. Through the use of this tool, all cookies and services requiring consent are only loaded once the relevant user has given their consent by ticking the appropriate boxes. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the user’s device once consent has been given.

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

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

A further legal basis for the processing is Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. As the data controller, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically non-essential cookies conditional upon the user’s consent.

Where necessary, we have entered into a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our website visitors’ data and prohibits unauthorised disclosure to third parties.

Further information on the operator and the settings options for the cookie consent tool can be found directly in the relevant user interface on our website.
