If you choose the payment method “Apple Pay” from Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, the payment will be processed using the “Apple Pay” function on your iOS, watchOS or macOS device by charging a payment card stored with “Apple Pay”. Apple Pay uses security features that are integrated into the hardware and software of your device to protect your transactions. To authorize a payment, you must enter a code that you have previously specified and verify it using the “Face ID” or “Touch ID” function on your device.
For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provided during the ordering process, along with information about your order, will be 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 to process 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 source website to confirm the payment was successful.
If personal data is processed during the transmissions described, the processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.
Apple stores anonymized transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, the approximate date and time, and whether the transaction was completed successfully. 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 iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase you made through Safari on Mac, the Mac and the authorization device communicate over an encrypted channel on Apple servers. Apple does not process or store any of this information in a format that can identify you. You can turn off the ability to use Apple Pay on your Mac in your iPhone's settings. Go to Wallet & Apple Pay and turn off Allow Payments on Mac.

For all transactions via Google Pay, Google acts only as an intermediary to process the payment process. The transaction is carried out exclusively in the relationship between the user and the source website by charging the payment method stored with Google Pay.
If personal data is processed during the transmissions described, the processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

9) Online Marketing
Facebook Pixel for creating custom audiences with advanced data matching (with cookie consent tool)
Our online offering uses the so-called “Facebook pixel” of the social network Facebook in extended data matching mode, which is operated by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Quare, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”).
Based on their express consent, when a user clicks on an ad displayed on Facebook and placed by us, an addition is added to the URL of our linked page by Facebook Pixel. This URL parameter is then written into the user's browser via a cookie after forwarding, which our linked page itself sets. In addition, this cookie records specific customer data such as the email address that we collect on our website linked to the Facebook ad during processes such as purchases, account registrations or registrations (extended data comparison). The cookie is then read by Facebook Pixel and enables the data, including the specific customer data, to be forwarded to Facebook.
With the help of the Facebook pixel with extended data matching, Facebook is able to precisely determine the visitors to our online offering as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called "Facebook ads"). Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixel with extended data matching to only display the Facebook ads placed by us to those Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined based on the websites visited) that 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 interests of users and do not appear annoying. In this way, we can further evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements for statistical and market research purposes by tracking whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook advertisement (so-called "conversion"). Compared to the standard version of Facebook Pixel, the enhanced data matching feature helps us better measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns by capturing more attributed 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 can enable Facebook and its partners to place advertisements on and outside of Facebook.
These processing operations are carried out exclusively with the granting of explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
The information generated by Facebook is usually transferred to a Facebook server and stored there; this may also involve transmission to the servers of Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.
10) Retargeting/ Remarketing/ Recommendation Advertising
Google Ads Remarketing
Our website uses the functions of Google Ads Remarketing, with which we advertise this website in Google search results and on third-party websites. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”). For this purpose, Google sets a cookie in the browser of your device, which automatically enables interest-based advertising using a pseudonymous cookie ID and based on the pages you visit. Further data processing only takes place if you have agreed to Google linking your internet and app browsing history to your Google account and using information from your Google account to personalize ads that you view on the web. In this case, if you are logged in to Google when you visit our website, Google will use your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define target group lists for cross-device remarketing. For this purpose, Google will temporarily link your personal data to Google Analytics data in order to create target groups. When using Google Ads Remarketing, personal data may also be transferred to Google LLC servers in the USA.
Details on the processing initiated by Google Ads Remarketing and how Google handles data from websites can be found here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
You can permanently object to the setting of cookies by Google Ads Remarketing by downloading and installing the browser plug-in from Google available under the following link:
https://support.google.com/ads/answer/7395996?
Further information and the privacy policy regarding advertising and Google can be found here:
https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/
All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.
TikTok Pixel
This website uses the “TikTok Pixel”, a tracking technology of the social network “TikTok” of TikTok Technology Limited, 10 Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin, D02 T380, Ireland (“TikTok”).
With the help of cookies (small text files that are stored on the device used), information about surfing behavior on our website is collected in pseudonymized form, transmitted to TikTok, stored there and evaluated in order to then enable the display of interest-based and personalized product recommendations on TikTok. The information collected in this way and processed pseudonymously generally includes the device ID, device type, time stamp, operating system used and IP address. The information can be assigned to the user's person with the help of other information that TikTok has stored about the user, e.g. due to the ownership of an account on the social network "TikTok". TikTok can also combine the information collected via the pixel with other information that TikTok has collected via other websites and / or in connection with the use of the social network "TikTok" and thus create pseudonymized user profiles. Under no circumstances can the information collected be used to personally identify visitors to this website.
The TikTok pixel also enables us to track the effectiveness of advertisements on TikTok. If the user is redirected from an ad on TikTok to pages on this website and the cookies have not yet expired, the pixel records certain user actions predefined by us and can track them (e.g. completed transactions, leads, search queries on the website, visits to product pages). When such an action is carried out, your browser sends an HTTP request from the cookie to the TikTok server via the TikTok pixel, with which certain information about the action is transmitted. Through this transmission, TikTok can create statistics about usage behavior on our website after redirection from a TikTok ad, which we use to optimize our offering.
All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website. We have concluded a data processing agreement with TikTok for the use of the TikTok Pixel, which obliges TikTok to protect the data of our site visitors and not to pass it on to third parties. TikTok generally transmits information collected outside the European Economic Area and relies on so-called standard data protection clauses of the European Commission, which are intended to ensure compliance with the European data protection level.
11) Page functionalities
11.1 Use of YouTube videos
This website uses the YouTube embedding function to display and play videos from the provider “YouTube”, which belongs to Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”).
The extended data protection mode is used here, which, according to the provider, only starts saving user information when the video(s) is played. If the playback of embedded YouTube videos is started, the provider "Youtube" uses cookies to collect information about user behavior. According to information from "Youtube", these are used, among other things, to record video statistics, improve user-friendliness and prevent abusive behavior. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account when you click on a video. If you do not want to be assigned to your YouTube profile, you must log out before activating the button. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and you must contact YouTube to exercise this right. When using YouTube, personal data may also be transferred to the servers of Google LLC in the USA.
Regardless of whether the embedded videos are played, a connection to the Google network is established each time this website is accessed, which may trigger further data processing operations without our influence.
All processing described above, in particular the reading of information on the device used via the tracking pixel, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of GDPR. Without this consent, YouTube videos will not be used during your visit to the site.
You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please deactivate this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website via alternative options communicated to you on the website.
Further information on data protection at “Youtube” can be found in the YouTube terms of use at https://www.youtube.com/static?template=terms and in Google’s privacy policy at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy
11.2 Use of Vimeo videos
Our website contains plug-ins from the video portal Vimeo, operated by Vimeo, LLC, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA. When you access a page on our website that contains such a plug-in, your browser establishes a direct connection to the Vimeo servers. The content of the plug-in is transmitted directly from Vimeo to your browser and integrated into the page. Through this integration, Vimeo receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page on our website, even if you do not have a Vimeo account or are not currently logged into Vimeo. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted from your browser directly to a Vimeo server in the USA and stored there.
If you are logged in to Vimeo, Vimeo can directly associate your visit to our website with your Vimeo account. If you interact with the plugins (e.g. by pressing the start button of a video), this information is also transmitted directly to a Vimeo server and stored there.
If you do not want Vimeo to assign the data collected via our website directly to your Vimeo account, you must log out of Vimeo before visiting our website.
For the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Vimeo as well as your rights and setting options to protect your privacy, please refer to Vimeo's privacy policy: https://vimeo.com/privacy
For videos from Vimeo that are embedded on our site, the tracking tool Google Analytics from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland, is automatically integrated. This is Vimeo's own tracking function, which we have no access to and which we cannot influence. Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies" for tracking purposes. These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server and stored there; this may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC in the USA.
All processing described above, in particular the reading of information on the device used via the tracking pixel, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of GDPR. Without this consent, Vimeo videos will not be used during your visit to the site.
You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please deactivate this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website via alternative options communicated to you on the website.
11.3 Applications for job advertisements by email
We advertise currently vacant positions in a separate section on our website, for which interested parties can apply by sending an email to the contact address provided.
Inclusion in the application process requires that applicants provide us with all personal data required for a well-founded and informed assessment and selection along with the application by email.
The information required includes general personal information (name, address, telephone or electronic contact details) and performance-specific evidence of the qualifications required for a position. In addition, health-related information may be required, which must be taken into account in the interests of social protection in the applicant's person under special labor and social law.
Which components an application must contain in order to be considered and in what form these components must be sent by email can be found in the respective job advertisement.
After receiving the application sent using the specified email contact address, we will save the applicant data and evaluate it solely for the purpose of processing the application. For queries that arise during the processing of the application, we will use either the email address provided by the applicant with their application or a specified telephone number, at our discretion.
The legal basis for this processing, including contacting us for further enquiries, is generally Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (for processing in Germany in conjunction with Section 26 (1) BDSG), within the meaning of which completing the application process is considered to be the initiation of an employment contract.
If, as part of the application process, special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 (1) GDPR (e.g. health data such as information on severe disability) are requested from applicants, the processing will be carried out in accordance with Art. 9 (2) (b) GDPR so that we can exercise the rights arising from employment law and social security and social protection law and fulfil our obligations in this regard.
Cumulatively or alternatively, the processing of special categories of data may also be based on Art. 9 (1) (h) GDPR if it is carried out for the purposes of healthcare or occupational medicine, for the assessment of the applicant's ability to work, for medical diagnostics, for the provision of care or treatment in the health or social sector or for the administration of systems and services in the health or social sector.
If the applicant is not selected in the course of the evaluation described above or if an applicant withdraws his or her application prematurely, the data sent by email and all electronic correspondence, including the original application email, will be deleted after a corresponding notification, at the latest after 6 months. This period is based on our legitimate interest in answering any follow-up questions about the application and, if necessary, in being able to meet our obligations to provide evidence under the regulations on equal treatment of applicants.
In the event of a successful application, the data provided will be further processed on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR (for processing in Germany in conjunction with Section 26 Para. 1 BDSG) for the purposes of carrying out the employment relationship.

13) Duration of storage of personal data
The duration for which personal data is stored is determined based on the respective legal basis, the purpose of processing and – if applicable – also on the respective statutory retention period (e.g. retention periods under commercial and tax law).
When personal data is processed on the basis of an explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, these data will be stored until the data subject revokes his or her consent.
If there are statutory retention periods for data that are processed within the framework of legal or quasi-legal obligations on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, these data will be routinely deleted after expiry of the retention periods, provided that they are no longer required to fulfill or initiate a contract and/or we no longer have a legitimate interest in continuing to store them.
When processing personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, these data will be stored until the data subject exercises his or her right of objection in accordance with Art. 21 (1) GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
When processing personal data for the purpose of direct marketing on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, these data will be stored until the data subject exercises his or her right of objection in accordance with Art. 21 (2) GDPR.
