For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provided during the ordering process, along with the 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 carry out the payment. Encryption ensures that only the website through which the purchase was made can access the payment details. After the payment is made, Apple sends your device account number and a transaction-specific, dynamic security code to the originating website to confirm the payment success.

If personal data is processed during the transfers described, the processing takes place exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

Apple retains anonymized transaction information, including the approximate purchase amount, the approximate date and time, and whether the transaction was successfully completed.

When you use Apple Pay on iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase made through Safari on Mac, the Mac and the authorization 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 be used to identify you. You can turn off the ability to use Apple Pay on your Mac in your iPhone's settings.

11.1 Meta pixels

Within our online offering we use the “Meta Pixel” service from the following provider: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Meta”)

If a user clicks on an advertisement we place on Facebook and/or Instagram, the URL of our linked page is expanded by a parameter using “Meta Pixel”. After redirection, this URL parameter is then entered into the user's browser by a cookie that our linked page sets itself.

On the one hand, this makes it possible for Meta to determine the visitors to our online offering as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called “ads”). Accordingly, we use the service to only show the Facebook and/or Instagram ads placed by us to users who have shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products, which are determined based on the websites visited), which we transmit to Meta (so-called “Custom Audiences”).

On the other hand, the “meta pixel” can be used to track whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on an advertisement and what actions they took there (so-called “conversion tracking”).

The data collected is anonymous to us, so it does not allow us to draw any conclusions about the identity of the user. However, the data is stored and processed by Meta so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Meta can 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, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent to this in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect by deactivating this service in the “cookie consent tool” provided on the website.

We have concluded an order processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

The information generated by Meta is usually transferred to a Meta server and stored there; In this context, there may also be a transfer to Meta Platforms Inc. servers in the USA.

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