8.4 Use of payment service providers (payment services)
- Apple Pay
If you opt for the payment method "Apple Pay" of Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, the payment is processed via the "Apple Pay" function of your end device operated with iOS, watchOS or macOS by debiting a payment card stored in "Apple Pay". Apple Pay uses security features that are integrated into the hardware and software of your device in order to protect your transactions. Authorising a payment therefore requires the entry of a code previously defined by you as well as verification by means of the "Face ID" or "Touch ID" function of your end device.
For the purpose of payment processing, the information provided by you during the ordering process, together with the information about your order, is passed on 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 in order to carry out the payment. The encryption ensures that only the website via which the purchase was made can access the payment data. After the payment has been made, Apple sends your device account number as well as a transaction-specific, dynamic security code to the originating website in order to confirm the successful payment.
Insofar as personal data is processed in the course of the transmissions described, the processing takes place exclusively for the purpose of payment processing pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR.
Apple retains anonymised transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, the approximate date and time as well as the information as to whether the transaction was completed successfully. The anonymisation completely excludes any reference to a person. Apple uses the anonymised data to improve "Apple Pay" and other Apple products and services.
If you use Apple Pay on your iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase that you made via Safari on your Mac, the Mac and the authorisation device communicate via an encrypted channel on the Apple servers. Apple does not process or store any of this information in a format by which you can be identified personally. You can deactivate the option of using Apple Pay on your Mac in the settings of your iPhone. Go to "Wallet & Apple Pay" and deactivate "Allow payments on Mac".
Further information on data protection with Apple Pay can be found at the following internet address: https://support.apple.com/de-de/HT203027

In order to authorise a payment via Google Pay of more than EUR 25.00, your mobile end device must first be unlocked by means of the verification measure set up in each case (such as facial recognition, password, fingerprint or pattern).
For the purpose of payment processing, the information provided by you 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 to the originating website in the form of a uniquely assigned transaction number, by which a payment made is verified. This transaction number does not contain any information on the actual payment data of the means of payment stored by you in Google Pay, but is created and transmitted as a numerical token valid on a one-off basis. In all transactions via Google Pay, Google merely acts as an intermediary for handling the payment process. The transaction is carried out exclusively in the relationship between the user and the originating website by debiting the means of payment stored in Google Pay.
Insofar as personal data is processed in the course of the transmissions described, the processing takes place exclusively for the purpose of payment processing pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR.

According to Google, this processing takes place exclusively pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR on the basis of the legitimate interest in proper invoicing, the verification of transaction data and the optimisation and maintenance of the functionality of the Google Pay service.
Google further reserves the right to merge the processed transaction data with further information collected and stored by Google in the course of the use of other Google services.

The credit report may contain probability values (so-called score values). Insofar as score values are included in the result of the credit report, they are based on a scientifically recognised mathematical-statistical procedure. The calculation of the score values includes, among other things but not exclusively, address data. You may object to this processing of your data at any time by sending a message to PayPal. However, PayPal may still remain entitled to process your personal data insofar as this is necessary for contractual payment processing.
If the PayPal payment method "purchase on account" is available and selected, your payment data is first transmitted to PayPal in preparation for the payment, whereupon PayPal forwards it to Ratepay GmbH, Franklinstraße 28-29, 10587 Berlin ("Ratepay") in order to carry out the payment. The legal basis in each case is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. In this case, RatePay carries out an identity and credit check in its own name in order to establish solvency in accordance with the principle already mentioned above and passes on your payment data to credit agencies on the basis of the legitimate interest in establishing solvency pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. A list of the credit agencies which Ratepay may draw on can be found here: https://www.ratepay.com/legal-payment-creditagencies/

9.2 Cookie consent tool
In order to obtain effective user consent for cookies requiring consent and cookie-based applications, this website uses a so-called "cookie consent tool". 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 ticking boxes. Through the use of the tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective user gives the corresponding consent by ticking the relevant box. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the respective user's end device if consent has been given.
The tool sets technically necessary cookies in order to store your cookie preferences. As a matter of principle, no personal user data is processed in this context.
If, in an individual case, personal data (such as the IP address) is nevertheless processed for the purpose of storing, allocating or logging cookie settings, such processing takes place pursuant to Art. 6 (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 (1) lit. c GDPR. As controller, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user's consent.
Insofar as necessary, we have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider which ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorised 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.

11) Retention period for personal data

If statutory retention periods exist for data that is processed within the scope of legal or quasi-legal obligations on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR, this data is routinely deleted after expiry of the retention periods, provided that it is no longer necessary for the performance or initiation of a contract and/or we have no continuing legitimate interest in further storage.
Where personal data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, this data is stored until you exercise your right to object pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Where personal data is processed for the purposes of direct marketing on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, this data is stored until you exercise your right to object pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR.
