5.3WhatsApp Business

We offer you the option to contact us via the messaging service WhatsApp from WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. For this purpose, we use the so-called "Business version" of WhatsApp.

If you contact us via WhatsApp in connection with a specific transaction (for example, a purchase you have made), we store and use the mobile phone number you use with WhatsApp as well as – if provided – your first and last name in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR to process and answer your request. On the basis of the same legal basis, we may ask you via WhatsApp to provide additional data (order number, customer number, address, or email address) so that we can assign your request to a specific transaction.

If you use our WhatsApp contact for general inquiries (such as regarding our service offerings, availability, or our website), we store and use the mobile phone number you use with WhatsApp as well as – if provided – your first and last name in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the efficient and timely provision of the requested information.

Your data will always only be used to answer your request via WhatsApp. No transmission to third parties will take place.

Please note that WhatsApp Business has access to the address book of the mobile device we use for this purpose and automatically transmits phone numbers stored in the address book to a server of the parent company Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA. For operating our WhatsApp Business account, we use a mobile device whose address book stores only the WhatsApp contact details of those users who have also contacted us via WhatsApp.

This ensures that every person whose WhatsApp contact details are stored in our address book has already, upon first use of the app on their device, by accepting WhatsApp's terms of use, consented to the transmission of their WhatsApp phone number from the address books of their chat contacts in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. A transmission of data of users who do not use WhatsApp and/or have not contacted us via WhatsApp is therefore excluded.

For information on the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of data by WhatsApp as well as your rights and settings options to protect your privacy, please refer to WhatsApp's privacy notice: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/?eea=1#privacy-policy

In the context of the above-mentioned processing, data transfers to servers of Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA may occur.

For data transfers to the USA, the provider has adopted the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with European data protection standards on the basis of an adequacy decision by the European Commission.

8.5Use of payment service providers

- Apple Pay

If you choose the payment method "Apple Pay" from Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, payment processing takes place via the "Apple Pay" function of your device running iOS, watchOS, or macOS by charging a payment card stored in "Apple Pay". Apple Pay uses security features integrated into your device's hardware and software to protect your transactions. To authorize a payment, you must enter a code you have previously set and verify using the "Face ID" or "Touch ID" function of your device.

For the purpose 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 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 to complete the payment. The encryption ensures that only the website from 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 successful payment.

To the extent that personal data is processed in the described transmissions, such processing takes place exclusively for the purpose of payment processing pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

Apple retains anonymized transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, approximate date and time, and whether the transaction was completed successfully. Anonymization ensures that there is no personal reference whatsoever. 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 you made via Safari on your Mac, your Mac and the authorizing 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 turn off "Allow Payments on Mac".

You can find additional information about data protection with Apple Pay at the following web address: https://support.apple.com/en-us/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"), payment processing takes place 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 in Google Pay or a verified payment system stored there (e.g. PayPal). To authorize a Google Pay payment of more than 25, – €, you must first unlock your mobile device using the configured verification method (such as facial recognition, password, fingerprint, or pattern).

For the purpose 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, with which a completed payment is verified. This transaction number contains no information about the actual payment details of your payment method stored in Google Pay; rather, it is created and transmitted as a one-time valid numerical token. In all transactions via Google Pay, Google acts merely as an intermediary for processing the payment. The execution of the transaction takes place exclusively between you and the original website through the payment method stored in Google Pay.

To the extent that personal data is processed in the described transmissions, such processing takes place exclusively for the purpose of payment processing pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

Google reserves the right to collect, store, and evaluate certain transaction-specific information with each transaction made via Google Pay. This includes the date, time, and amount of the transaction, merchant location and description, a description of the goods or services purchased provided by the merchant, photos you 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 any offer associated with the transaction.

According to Google, this processing takes place exclusively pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of the legitimate interest in proper billing, verification of transaction data, and optimization and maintenance of the Google Pay service.

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

The calculation of the score values includes, but is not limited to, address data.

You can object to this processing of your data at any time by sending a message to us or to the provider. However, the provider may continue to be entitled to process your personal data if this is necessary for payment processing in accordance with the contract.

Demographic features
Google Analytics 4 uses the special "demographic features" function and can create statistics that provide information about the age, gender, and interests of website visitors. This is done by analyzing advertising and information from third-party providers. As a result, target audiences for marketing activities can be identified. However, the collected data cannot be attributed to any specific person and will be deleted after being stored for a period of two months.

Google Signals
As an extension to Google Analytics 4, Google Signals can be used on this website to generate cross-device reports. If you have enabled personalized ads and linked your devices to your Google account, Google can, subject to your consent to use Google Analytics in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, analyze your usage behavior across devices and create database models, including for cross-device conversions. We do not receive any personal data from Google, only statistics. If you wish to stop cross-device analysis, you can disable the "Personalized advertising" function in your Google account settings. To do this, follow the instructions on this page: https://support.google.com/My-Ad-Center-Help/answer/12155764?hl=en For more information about Google Signals, visit the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7532985?hl=en

Collection of user-provided data
To improve analysis results for users whose contact details we have obtained in the context of business or business-like relationships, we use the "customer data collection" function. Subject to your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, we transmit one or more files containing customer data aggregated to your person (especially email address and phone number) electronically to Google as part of this function. Google does not receive access to plain text data; instead, it automatically encrypts the information in the customer files during the transmission process using a special algorithm. Google can then only use the encrypted information to match it with existing Google accounts that the affected individuals have created. The processing serves to refine measurement data, improves cross-device user tracking, and enables the integration of analysis results into Google Ads advertising personalization and conversion tracking functions. You can revoke your consent to us at any time with effect for the future.
