5.3 WhatsApp Business
You have the option of contact us via the WhatsApp messaging service provided by 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 (such as an order placed), we will store and use the mobile phone number you use on WhatsApp and – if provided – your first name and surname in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) b) of the GDPR to process and respond to your enquiry. On the same legal basis, we may ask you via WhatsApp to provide further data (order number, customer number, address or email address) so that we can assign your enquiry to a specific transaction.
If you use our WhatsApp contact for general enquiries (such as regarding our range of services, availability or our website), we will store and use the mobile phone number you use on WhatsApp, as well as your first and last names (if provided), in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in providing the requested information efficiently and promptly.
Your data will only ever be used to respond to your enquiry via WhatsApp. It will not be passed on to third parties.
Please note that WhatsApp Business gains access to the address book of the mobile device we use for this purpose and automatically transfers telephone numbers stored in the address book to a server belonging to the parent company Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA. To operate our WhatsApp Business account, we use a mobile device whose address book contains 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 consented, upon first use of the app on their device by accepting the WhatsApp Terms of Service, to the transfer of their WhatsApp telephone number from the address books of their chat contacts in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. The transmission of data relating to 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, as well as the further processing and use of data by WhatsApp, and your rights in this regard and settings options for protecting your privacy, please refer to WhatsApp’s privacy policy: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/?eea=1#privacy-policy

The legal basis for the processing of this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your enquiry in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. If your contact is aimed at entering into a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. Your data will be deleted if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively resolved and provided that no statutory retention obligations prevent this.

In accordance with Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, personal data will continue to be collected and processed to the extent necessary if you provide it to us when opening a customer account. You can see which data is required for opening an account in the input fields of the relevant form on our website.

8.2 Use of payment service providers (payment services)
- 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 iOS, watchOS or macOS device 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. To authorise a payment, you must therefore enter a code you have previously set and verify your identity using the “Face ID” or “Touch ID” on your device.
For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provide during the ordering process, together with details of your order, is transmitted to Apple in encrypted form. Apple then re-encrypts this data using a developer-specific key before transmitting it to the payment service provider of the payment card stored in Apple Pay to complete the transaction. 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 the successful payment.
Where personal data is processed in the context of the transmissions described, such processing is carried out exclusively 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 whether the transaction was successfully completed. 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 your iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase you have made via Safari on your 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 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”), payment processing takes place via the “Google Pay” application on your mobile device (running Android 4.4 (“KitKat”) or later and equipped with NFC functionality) by debiting a payment card stored with Google Pay or a payment system verified there (e.g. PayPal). To authorise a payment via Google Pay exceeding €25, you must first unlock your mobile device using the relevant verification method (such as facial recognition, password, fingerprint or pattern).
For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provide during the ordering process, together with details of 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 one-off transaction number, which is used to verify that payment has been made. This transaction number contains no information regarding the actual payment details of the payment method stored in Google Pay , but is generated and transmitted as a one-time valid numerical token. For all transactions via Google Pay, Google acts solely as an intermediary for 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 with Google Pay.
Where personal data is processed in connection with the transfers described, processing takes place exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.
Google reserves the right to collect, store and analyse certain transaction-specific information for every transaction made 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, 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 using other Google services.
The Google Pay Terms of Service can be found here:

The credit report may contain probability values (so-called score values).

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 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.

11) Retargeting/Remarketing and Conversion Tracking
11.1 Meta Pixel
Within our online offering, we use the “Meta Pixel” service provided by the following provider: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Meta”)
If a user clicks on an advertisement placed by us on Facebook and/or Instagram,
‘Meta Pixel’ adds a parameter to the URL of our linked page. This URL parameter is then, following the redirection, stored in the user’s browser via a cookie set by our linked page itself.
This enables Meta, on the one hand, to identify visitors to our online offering as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called ‘Ads’). Accordingly, we use the service to display the Facebook and/or Instagram ads we have placed only to those users who have shown an interest in our online offering or who exhibit certain characteristics (e.g. interests in specific topics or products, determined on the basis of the websites visited), which we transmit to Meta (so-called “Custom Audiences”).
Furthermore, the “Meta Pixel” allows us to track whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on an advertisement and what actions they take there (so-called “conversion tracking”).
The data collected is anonymous to us; therefore, it does not allow us to draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Meta, meaning a link to the respective user profile is possible and Meta may use the data for its own advertising purposes.
All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies to read information on the device used, is only carried out if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) a GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time with future effect by deactivating this service in the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website.
We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider which ensures the protection of our website visitors’ data and prohibits unauthorised disclosure to third parties.
The information generated by Meta is generally transmitted to a Meta server and stored there; in this context, data may also be transferred to servers operated by Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA.
For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined 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.
11.2 Google Ads Remarketing
This website uses retargeting technology from the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland
For this purpose, Google places a cookie in your device’s browser, which automatically enables interest-based advertising using a pseudonymous cookie ID and based on the pages you have visited. Any further data processing only takes place if you have consented to Google linking your internet and app browsing history to your Google account and using information from your Google account to personalise the adverts you see on the web. If, in this case, you are logged into Google whilst visiting our website, Google will use your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define audience lists for cross-device remarketing. To this end, your personal data will be temporarily linked by Google with Google Analytics data to form audiences. As part of the use of Google Ads Remarketing, personal data may also be transferred to the
servers of Google LLC in the USA.
All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies to read information on the device used, will only take place if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. Without this consent, retargeting technology will not be used during your visit to the site.
You may withdraw your consent at any time with future effect. To exercise your right to withdraw consent, please deactivate this service using the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website .

11.3 Google Ads Conversion Tracking
This website uses the online advertising programme ‘Google Ads’ and, as part of Google Ads, the conversion tracking service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (‘Google’).
We use Google Ads to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites using advertising (so-called Google AdWords) on external websites to draw attention to our attractive offers. We can determine, based on the data from the advertising campaigns, how successful the individual advertising measures are. Our aim is to show you advertising that is of interest to you, to make our website more interesting for you and to ensure a fair calculation of the advertising costs incurred.
The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on a Google Ads advertisement. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device. These cookies generally expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages on this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognise that the user clicked on the advert and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are informed of the total number of users who clicked on their advert 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.
When using Google Ads, personal data may also be transferred to the servers of Google LLC in the USA.
Details regarding the processing triggered by Google Ads conversion tracking and Google’s handling of website data can be found here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies to read information on the device used, will only take place if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time with future effect by deactivating this service in the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website.
You can also permanently object to the setting of cookies by Google Ads Conversion Tracking by downloading and installing the Google browser plug-in available at the following link:
https://support.google.com/My-Ad-Center-Help/answer/12155656?hl=de
In order to target users whose data we have received in the context of business or business-like relationships with even more relevant advertising, we use a customer matching function within Google Ads. To this end, we transmit one or more files containing aggregated customer data (primarily email addresses and telephone numbers) electronically to Google. Google does not gain access to plain text data, but automatically encrypts the information in the customer files during the transmission process using a special algorithm. The encrypted information can then only be used by Google to associate it with existing Google accounts set up by the data subjects. This enables the display of personalised advertising across all Google services linked to the respective Google account.
Customer data is only transmitted to Google if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. You may withdraw this consent at any time with future effect. Further information on Google’s data protection measures regarding the customer matching function can be found here: https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/6334160?hl=de&ref_topic=10550182

11.4 Google Marketing Platform
This website uses the online marketing tool Google Marketing Platform provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“GMP”).
GMP uses cookies to display ads relevant to users, to improve campaign performance reports, or to prevent a user from seeing the same ads multiple times. Using a cookie ID, Google tracks which ads are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being shown multiple times. Furthermore, GMP can use cookie IDs to track so-called conversions related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a GMP advert and later, whilst using the same browser, visits the advertiser’s website and makes a purchase via that website. According to Google, GMP cookies do not contain any personal information.
Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to Google’s server.
We have no influence over the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you as follows, based on our current knowledge: Through the integration of GMP, Google receives the information that you have visited the relevant part of our website or clicked on one of our adverts. If you are registered with a Google service, Google may associate the visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider may obtain and store your IP address. In the context of using GMP, personal data may also be transferred to the servers of Google LLC in the USA.
All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the , will only be carried out if you have given us your explicit consent to do so in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time with future effect by deactivating this service in the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website.

To this end, the tracking technology reads certain device and browser information, including, where applicable, your IP address, in order to record and evaluate user actions predefined by us (e.g. completed transactions, leads, search queries on the website, visits to product pages). This enables us to compile statistics on usage behaviour on our website following a redirect from an advertisement, which we use to optimise our offering.
All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies to read information from the device used, is only carried out if you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time with future effect by deactivating this service in the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website.
