7. Data Processing for Order Processing

The personal data collected by us will be disclosed to the transport company commissioned with the delivery as part of the contract processing, to the extent necessary for the delivery of the goods. We will disclose your payment data to the authorized credit institution as part of the payment processing, to the extent necessary for the payment processing.

7.3 Use of Payment Service Providers (Payment Services)

  • Adyen This website offers one or more online payment methods provided by the following provider: Adyen, Simon Carmiggeltstraat 6 – 50, 1011 DJ Amsterdam, Netherlands. When selecting a payment method provided by the provider where you make an advance payment (such as credit card payment), your payment data provided during the order process (including name, address, bank and payment card information, currency, and transaction number) will be disclosed to them in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Your data will only be disclosed to the extent necessary for payment processing with the provider.
  • Apple Pay If you choose the payment method “Apple Pay” from Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, payment processing will be carried out via the “Apple Pay” function of your iOS, watchOS, or macOS device by charging a payment card stored with “Apple Pay”. Apple Pay uses security features integrated into the hardware and software of your device to protect your transactions. To authorize a payment, you must enter a code previously defined by you and verify using the “Face ID” or “Touch ID” function of your device. For the purpose of payment processing, your information provided during the order process, along with information about your order, will be passed on to Apple in encrypted form. Apple then re-encrypts this data with a developer-specific key before transmitting it to the payment service provider of the payment card stored in Apple Pay for payment execution. Encryption ensures that only the website through which the purchase was made can access the payment data. After the payment is made, Apple sends your device account number and a transaction-specific, dynamic security code to the originating website to confirm payment success. If personal data is processed in the described transmissions, processing is carried out solely for the purpose of payment processing. Apple retains anonymized transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, date, and approximate time, and whether the transaction was successfully completed. Anonymization completely excludes any personal reference. Apple uses anonymized data to improve “Apple Pay” and other Apple products and services. When using Apple Pay on iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase made via Safari on Mac, the Mac and the authorization device communicate via an encrypted channel to Apple servers. Apple does not process or store any of this information in a format that can identify you. You can disable the option to use Apple Pay on your Mac in the settings of your iPhone. Go to “Wallet & Apple Pay” and disable “Allow payments on Mac”. For more information on privacy with Apple Pay, please visit: Apple Pay Privacy.
  • Google Pay If you choose the payment method “Google Pay” from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”), payment processing will be carried out via the “Google Pay” application on your mobile device running at least Android 4.4 (“KitKat”) and equipped with NFC functionality by charging a payment card stored in Google Pay or a verified payment system (e.g., PayPal). To authorize a payment via Google Pay exceeding €25, you must unlock your mobile device in advance using the verification method set up (such as facial recognition, password, fingerprint, or pattern). For payment processing, your information provided during the order process, along with information about your order, will be passed on to Google. Google then transmits your payment information stored in Google Pay in the form of a unique transaction number to the originating website to verify a completed payment. This transaction number contains no information about the real payment data of your payment methods stored in Google Pay; it is created and transmitted as a valid numerical token only once. Google acts solely as an intermediary for processing the payment transaction with the originating website. The transaction is carried out exclusively between the user and the originating website by charging the payment method stored in Google Pay. If personal data is processed in the described transmissions, processing is carried out solely for the purpose of payment processing pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Google reserves the right to collect, store, and analyze certain transaction-specific information for each transaction made via Google Pay. This includes the date, time, and amount of the transaction, merchant location and description, a description of the goods or services purchased provided by the merchant, photos attached to the transaction, the name and email address of the seller and buyer or sender and recipient, the payment method used, and your description of the reason for the transaction, as well as any associated offer. According to Google, this processing is carried out exclusively in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR based on the legitimate interest in proper accounting, verifying transaction data, and optimizing and maintaining the Google Pay service.

Disclosure will only be made to the extent necessary for payment processing. For payment methods such as credit card via PayPal, direct debit via PayPal, or – if offered – “purchase on account” or “installment payment” via PayPal, PayPal reserves the right to perform a credit check. For this purpose, your payment data may be disclosed to credit agencies based on PayPal’s legitimate interest in determining your ability to pay. PayPal uses the result of the credit assessment regarding the statistical probability of payment default for the purpose of deciding on the provision of the respective payment method. The credit check may include probability values (so-called score values). If score values are included in the result of the credit assessment, they are based on a scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical procedure. Address data is included, among other things, in the calculation of score values. For further information on data protection, including the credit agencies used, please refer to PayPal’s privacy policy: PayPal Privacy Policy. You may object to this processing of your data at any time by sending a message to PayPal.

When transferring data to the provider’s location, an adequate level of data protection is ensured by a European Commission adequacy decision.

7.4 Credit Checks

CRIF AG (Switzerland)
Hagenholzstrasse 81

The credit report may include probability values (so-called score values). If score values are included in the result of the credit report, they are based on a scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical method.

8.1 Use of Google Ads Conversion Tracking

This website uses the online advertising program “Google Ads” and, within Google Ads, the conversion tracking of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”). We use Google Ads to place advertisements (so-called Google Adwords) on external websites to draw attention to our attractive offers. We can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are in relation to the data of the advertising campaigns. We thereby pursue the interest in displaying advertising that is of interest to you, making our website more interesting for you, and achieving a fair calculation of advertising costs.

The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer system. These cookies usually lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked through the websites of Google Ads customers. The information obtained with the help of the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can block this usage by deactivating the Google Conversion Tracking cookie via your internet browser under user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

As part of using Google Ads, personal data may also be transferred to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA. We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider that ensures the protection of the data of our website visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

The provider relies on standard contractual clauses of the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) for the transmission of data to the USA to ensure compliance with the Swiss level of data protection.

You can permanently deactivate cookies for ad preferences by preventing them from being set via a corresponding setting of your browser software or by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: Google Ads Settings

Please note that certain functions of this website may not be available or may be restricted if you have deactivated the use of cookies.

8.3 Profity

After completing the ordering process, we offer you vouchers from the network of our partner Profity. Profity is a voucher network through which partner shops can publish vouchers and distribute them to their customers.

To provide you with access, we integrate a corresponding notice from adfocus via an encrypted connection when completing orders on our website, allowing data forwarding. Data is only transmitted to adfocus if you have completed your purchase and clicked on the Profity banner.

In this case, adfocus collects the following data, which is stored in databases and log files: date and time including time zone, Internet Protocol (IP) address, access status (HTTP status code), operating system including version, browser including language, accessed individual page, transmitted data volume, estimated location, and the last accessed website (referer), and other information on origin including path from individual partner shops to Profity.

The described processing of data is based on the legitimate interest in targeted advertising to the user by advertising third parties, from whose benefits he can benefit by using the vouchers.

9. Web Analytics Services

9.1 Matomo as a Cloud Solution WITHOUT Cookies

This website uses the web analytics service software Matomo (www.matomo.org), a service provided by InnoCraft Ltd., 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand (“Matomo”). Certain user information is collected and stored temporarily to protect the site visitors. Matomo uses a so-called “config_id” to allow various analyses of page usage within a short time window of up to 24 hours. The “config_id” of the page is a randomly set, temporary hash of a limited set of visitor settings and attributes. The config_id or config hash is a string calculated for a visitor based on their operating system, browser, browser plugins, IP address, and browser language. Matomo does not use device fingerprinting and uses an anonymized IP address of the site visitor to create the “config_id”.

If the processed information includes personal user data, processing is based on our legitimate interest in statistical analysis of user behavior for optimization and marketing purposes. To object to data processing of your visitor data in the future, we provide a separate opt-out option on our website.

The data collected with the Matomo technology is transferred to servers operated by Matomo in New Zealand and processed for usage analysis purposes.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider to ensure the protection of our site visitors’ data and to prohibit unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

10) Tools and Miscellaneous

You can revoke your consent at any time by sending a message to the data controller responsible for data processing or to Google.
