Apple Pay uses security features integrated into the hardware and software of your device to protect your transactions. To authorize a payment, it is therefore necessary to enter a code previously defined by you and to verify it using the "Face ID" or "Touch ID" function of your device.

For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provide during the ordering process, along with the information about your order, is passed on 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 for payment processing. 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 will send your device account number and a transaction-specific dynamic security code to the originating website to confirm the payment.

If personal data is processed during the described transmissions, the processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPRO.

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

When you use Apple Pay on the iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase made through Safari on the Mac, the Mac and the authorization device communicate via an encrypted channel on Apple's servers. Apple does not process or store 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 preferences. Go to "Wallet & Apple Pay" and disable "Allow payments on Mac".

9) Online marketing

9.1
Facebook pixels for the creation of custom audiences with extended data synchronization (with cookie-consent-tool)

Within our online offer the so-called "Facebook pixel" of the social network Facebook is used in the mode of extended data synchronization, which is operated by Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Quare, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook").

Based on his or her explicit consent, when a user clicks on an advertisement placed on Facebook and displayed by us, an addition is added to the URL of our linked page by Facebook pixels. This URL parameter is then written into the user's browser by a cookie that is set by our linked site itself. In addition, this cookie records specific customer data such as the e-mail address that we collect on our website linked to the Facebook ad during transactions such as purchase transactions, account logins or registrations (extended data reconciliation). The cookie is then read by Facebook Pixel and enables data, including specific customer data, to be forwarded to Facebook.

With the help of the Facebook pixel with extended data synchronization, Facebook is on the one hand able to precisely determine the visitors of our online offer as a target group for the display of ads (so-called "Facebook ads"). Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixel with extended data synchronization to display the Facebook ads placed by us only to those Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online offering or who exhibit certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited), which we transmit to Facebook (so-called "custom audiences"). With the help of the Facebook pixel with extended data matching, we also want to ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interest of the users and are not annoying. This allows us to further evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by tracking whether users have been redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called "conversion"). Compared to the standard Facebook pixel version, the advanced data matching feature helps us better measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns by capturing more assigned conversions.

All transmitted data is stored and processed by Facebook so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with the Facebook Data Usage Policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). The data may enable Facebook and its partners to place advertisements on and outside of Facebook.

These processing operations are only carried out if express consent is granted in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPRO.

Consent to use the Facebook pixel may only be given by users who are older than 16 years of age. If you are younger, please ask your legal guardian for permission.

The information generated by Facebook is usually transferred to a Facebook server and stored there. This may also involve a transfer to the servers of Facebook Inc. in the USA. You can revoke your granted consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, remove the check mark next to the setting for the "Facebook Pixel" in the "Cookie-Consent-Tool" integrated on the website.

This website uses the online marketing tool Google Marketing Platform of the operator Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("GMP").

GMP uses cookies to serve ads relevant to users, to improve campaign performance reports, or to prevent a user from seeing the same ads more than once. Google uses a cookie ID to help identify which ads are being served on which browser, and to prevent them from being shown more than once. The processing is based on our legitimate interest in the optimal marketing of our website in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPRO.

In addition, GMP can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions that relate to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a GMP advertisement and later, using the same browser, calls up the advertiser's website and makes a purchase via this 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 with the Google server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of these tools and therefore inform you as follows according to our state of knowledge: Through the integration of GMP, Google receives the information that you have called up the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider will find out and save your IP address. In the context of the use of GMP it can also come to a transmission of personal data to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.

If you would like to object to this tracking procedure, you can deactivate cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain https://www.google.de/settings/ads (see https://www.google.de/settings/ads). This setting will be deleted when you deactivate your cookies. Alternatively, you can contact the Digital Advertising Alliance at www.aboutads.info to learn more about setting cookies and to adjust your desired settings. Finally, you can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and can decide individually whether to accept them or to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general. If cookies are not accepted, the functionality of our website may be limited.

Tools and Miscellaneous

Cookie Content Tool based on Usercentrics technology

This website uses a cookie-consent-tool with technology from Usercentrics GmbH, Rosental 4, 80331 Munich, Germany (hereinafter "Usercentrics") to obtain effective user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications requiring consent.

By integrating a corresponding JavaScript code, a banner is displayed to users when they call up the site, in which consent for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be granted by ticking the appropriate box. The tool blocks the setting of all cookies requiring consent until the respective user has given his consent by ticking the appropriate box. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the user's terminal device if consent has been granted.

To enable the Cookie Consent-Tool to uniquely assign page views to individual users and to individually record, log and store the consent settings made by the user for the duration of a session, certain user information (including the IP address) is collected by the Cookie Consent-Tool when our website is accessed, transmitted to Usercentrics' servers and stored there.

This data processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 letter f GDPRO on the basis of our legitimate interest in a 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 described data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPRO. As the responsible party, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user consent.

We have concluded a contract with Usercentrics under which we commit Usercentrics to protect the data of visitors to our website and not to pass it on to third parties.

Duration of storage of personal data

The duration of the storage of personal data is determined by the respective legal basis, the purpose of processing and - if relevant - additionally by the respective legal retention period (e.g. retention periods under commercial and tax law).
