If you choose the "Apple Pay" payment method from Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, payment processing takes place via the "Apple Pay" function of your iOS, watchOS or macOS device by debiting 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 approve a payment, you must enter a code previously set by you and verify it using your device's "Face ID" or "Touch ID" function.
For payment processing purposes, the information you provide during the order process, along with information about your order, will be transmitted 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 execution. 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 originating website to confirm successful payment.
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 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
Apple stores anonymized transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, approximate date and time, and whether the transaction was successfully completed. Anonymization completely excludes any personal reference. Apple uses the anonymized data to improve "Apple Pay" and other Apple products and services.
If 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 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 identify you. You can disable the ability to use Apple Pay on your Mac in your iPhone settings. Go to "Wallet & Apple Pay" and disable "Allow payments on Mac."

Meta Pixel with Enhanced Matching
Within our online offering, we use the "Meta Pixel" service from the following provider in enhanced matching mode: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Meta")
If a user clicks on an advertisement placed by us on Facebook or Instagram, the URL of our linked page is extended by a parameter using "Meta Pixel". This URL parameter is then entered into the user's browser by a cookie, which our linked page itself sets, after redirection. Furthermore, this cookie collects specific customer data such as the email address, which we collect on our website linked to the Facebook or Instagram advertisement during processes such as purchases, account logins, or registrations (enhanced matching). The cookie is then read out and enables the transmission of data, including specific customer data, to Meta.
We use "Meta Pixel" with enhanced matching to make our advertisements (so-called "Ads") on Facebook and/or Instagram more effective and to ensure that they match users' interests or have certain characteristics (e.g., interests in certain topics or products, determined based on the websites visited) which we transmit to Meta (so-called "Custom Audiences").
In addition, we analyze the effectiveness of our advertisements by tracking whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on an advertisement (conversion). Compared to the standard version of "Meta Pixel", the enhanced 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 Meta, so that an assignment to the respective user profile is possible and Meta can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with Meta's data usage policies (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). The data may enable Meta and its partners to display ads on and off Facebook.

You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect by deactivating this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

This website uses an online map service from the following provider: Google Maps (API) from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”).
Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive (land) maps to visually represent geographical information. By using this service, our location is displayed to you and any journey is made easier.
Already when calling up the sub-pages in which the Google Maps map is integrated, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers and stored there; this can also lead to a transmission to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA. This happens regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether a user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you do not wish for your data to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for non-logged-in users) as usage profiles and evaluates them.
The collection, storage and evaluation are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of Google's legitimate interest in displaying personalized advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of Google websites. You have a right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right. If you do not agree with the future transmission of your data to Google within the scope of using Google Maps, it is also possible to completely deactivate the Google Maps web service by deactivating the JavaScript application in your browser. Google Maps and thus also the map display on this website can then no longer be used.
Insofar as legally required, we have obtained your consent for the aforementioned processing of your data in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your given consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your right of revocation, please follow the possibility described above to object.
