8.3 Use of Payment Service Providers

- Apple Pay

If you choose the payment method "Apple Pay" offered by Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, payment processing is carried out via the "Apple Pay" function of your terminal device operating iOS, watchOS or macOS 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. The release of a payment therefore requires the entry of a code previously set by you as well as verification using the "Face ID" or "Touch ID" function of your terminal device.

For the purposes of payment processing, the information you provided 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 the data is transmitted to the payment service provider of the payment card stored in Apple Pay in order to execute 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 original website to confirm the successful payment.

Where personal data are processed in connection with the transmissions described, the processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

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

When you use Apple Pay on an iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase made through Safari on a Mac, the Mac and the authorisation device communicate via an encrypted channel on Apple's servers. Apple does not process or store any of this information in a format by which your person could be identified. 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 in relation to Apple Pay can be found at the following internet address: https://support.apple.com/de-de/HT203027
- Google Pay

If you choose the payment method "Google Pay" offered by 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 terminal device operating at least Android 4.4 ("KitKat") and featuring an NFC function, by debiting a payment card stored in Google Pay or a payment system verified there (e.g. PayPal). For the release of a payment via Google Pay in an amount exceeding EUR 25.00, prior unlocking of your mobile terminal device by the verification measure you have set up (e.g. facial recognition, password, fingerprint or pattern) is required.

For the purposes of payment processing, the information you provided during the ordering process, together with information about your order, is transmitted to Google. Google then transmits your payment information stored in Google Pay in the form of a one-time transaction number to the original website, by means of which a payment made is verified. This transaction number contains no information whatsoever about your actual payment data 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 the processing of the payment transaction. The execution of the transaction takes place exclusively in the relationship between the user and the original website by debiting the means of payment stored in Google Pay.

Where personal data are processed in connection with the transmissions described, the processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing pursuant to Art. 6(1)(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 location and description, a description provided by the merchant of the goods or services purchased, photos you have attached to the transaction, the name and email address of the seller and buyer or of 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 pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of the legitimate interest in proper invoicing, verification of transaction data and the optimisation and maintenance of the Google Pay service.

Google further reserves the right to merge the processed transaction data with further information collected and stored by Google when the user uses further Google services.

The terms of use of Google Pay can be found here:

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

In order to safeguard our legitimate interest in determining the creditworthiness of our customers, this data is forwarded by us pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR to the provider for the purpose of a credit assessment. The provider assesses, on the basis of the personal data provided by you and further data (such as shopping cart, invoice amount, order history, payment experience), whether the payment option selected by you can be granted with regard to payment and/or default risks.

For the purpose of the application review, in addition to provider-internal criteria, identity and creditworthiness information from the following credit agencies may also be taken into account pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR:

https://cdn.klarna.com/1.0/shared/content/legal/terms/0/de_de/credit_rating_agencies

The credit report may contain probability values (so-called score values). Insofar as score values enter into the result of the credit report, they are based on a scientifically recognised mathematical-statistical procedure. The calculation of the score values incorporates, 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 us or to the provider. However, the provider may remain entitled to process your personal data if this is required for the contractual payment processing.
- PayPal

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

If you select a payment method whereby we pay in advance, you will also be requested during the ordering process to provide certain personal data (first and last name, street, house number, postcode, city, date of birth, email address, telephone number, and where applicable, data relating to an alternative means of payment).

In order to safeguard our legitimate interest in determining your creditworthiness in such cases, this data is forwarded by us pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR to the provider for the purpose of a credit assessment. The provider assesses, on the basis of the personal data provided by you and further data (such as shopping cart, invoice amount, order history, payment experience), whether the payment option selected by you can be granted with regard to payment and/or default risks.

This website uses PayPal Checkout, an online payment system provided by PayPal, which consists of PayPal's own payment methods and local payment methods from third-party providers.

When paying via PayPal, credit card via PayPal, direct debit via PayPal or — if offered — "Pay Later" via PayPal, we forward your payment data to PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (hereinafter "PayPal") as part of payment processing. The forwarding takes place pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR and only insofar as this is required for payment processing.

PayPal reserves the right to conduct a credit check for the payment methods credit card via PayPal, direct debit via PayPal or — if offered — "Pay Later" via PayPal. For this purpose, your payment data may be forwarded pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, on the basis of PayPal's legitimate interest in determining your creditworthiness, to credit agencies. PayPal uses the result of the credit assessment in relation to the statistical probability of payment default for the purpose of deciding whether to provide the respective payment method. The credit report may contain probability values (so-called score values). Insofar as score values enter into the result of the credit report, they are based on a scientifically recognised mathematical-statistical procedure. The calculation of the score values incorporates, 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 remain entitled to process your personal data if this is required for the contractual payment processing.

If the PayPal payment method "Invoice Purchase" is available and selected, your payment data will first be transmitted to PayPal in preparation for the payment, whereupon PayPal will forward it to Ratepay GmbH, Franklinstraße 28-29, 10587 Berlin ("Ratepay") for the purpose of executing the payment. The legal basis in each case is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. In this case, Ratepay conducts an identity and credit assessment in its own name to determine creditworthiness according to the principle already mentioned above and forwards your payment data to credit agencies on the basis of its legitimate interest in determining creditworthiness pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. A list of the credit agencies to which Ratepay may have recourse can be found here: https://www.ratepay.com/legal-payment-creditagencies/

11) Retargeting/Remarketing and Conversion Tracking

Google Ads Conversion Tracking

This website uses the online advertising programme "Google Ads" and, within the framework of Google Ads, the conversion tracking service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"). We use the Google Ads service to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites with the help of advertising materials (so-called Google Adwords). In relation to the data of the advertising campaigns, we are able to determine how successful the individual advertising measures are. Our aim is thereby 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.

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 terminal device. These cookies generally lose their validity 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 recognise 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 obtained with the aid of the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. The customers are informed of the total number of users who have 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 be used to personally identify users. In the context of using Google Ads, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC in the USA.

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