5.2 WhatsApp Business

You have the option to contact us via the WhatsApp messaging service provided by WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. For this purpose, we use the so-called "Business version" of WhatsApp.

If you contact us via WhatsApp regarding a specific business transaction (e.g., a placed order), we store and use your mobile phone number used on WhatsApp and – if provided – your first and last name in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b. GDPR to process and respond to your request. On the basis of the same legal basis, we may ask you via WhatsApp to provide further data (order number, customer number, address, or email address) to assign your inquiry to a specific process.

If you use our WhatsApp contact for general inquiries (e.g., about our range of services, availability, or our website), we store and use your mobile phone number used on WhatsApp and – if provided – your first and last name in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the efficient and timely provision of the desired information.

Your data will always be used exclusively to respond to your request via WhatsApp. No data will be disclosed to third parties.

Please note that WhatsApp Business gains access to the address book of the mobile device we use for this purpose and automatically transmits phone numbers stored in the address book to a server of the parent company Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA. For the operation of our WhatsApp Business account, we use a mobile device whose address book exclusively stores the WhatsApp contact data of users who have contacted us via WhatsApp.

This ensures that every person whose WhatsApp contact data is stored in our address book has already given their consent to the transmission of their WhatsApp phone number from the address books of their chat contacts in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR by accepting the WhatsApp terms of use when first using the app on their device.

5.3 When contacting us (e.g., via contact form or email), personal data is processed - exclusively for the purpose of processing and responding to your request and only to the extent necessary for this purpose.

The legal basis for the processing of this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If your contact aims at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter concerned has been conclusively clarified and provided that no statutory retention obligations conflict with this.

8.4 Use of Payment Service Providers

- Apple Pay

If you choose the payment method "Apple Pay" 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 authorize 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 the purpose of payment processing, 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 the purpose of processing 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 originating website to confirm successful payment.

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

Apple retains 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 made via Safari on your 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 identify you. You can disable the option to use Apple Pay on your Mac in your iPhone settings. Go to "Wallet & Apple Pay" and disable "Allow Payments on Mac."

Further information on data protection with Apple Pay can be found at the following internet address: https://support.apple.com/de-de/HT203027

To authorize a payment via Google Pay exceeding €25, you must first unlock your mobile device using the configured verification method (e.g., facial recognition, password, fingerprint, or pattern).

For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provide during the order process, along with information about your order, will be transmitted to Google. Google then transmits your payment information stored in Google Pay to the originating website in the form of a one-time transaction number, which verifies a completed payment. This transaction number contains no information about the real payment data of your payment methods stored in Google Pay, but is created and transmitted as a unique numerical token. For all transactions via Google Pay, Google acts only as an intermediary for processing the payment. The transaction is carried out exclusively between the user and the originating website by debiting the payment method stored in Google Pay.

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

Google reserves the right to collect, store, and evaluate certain transaction-specific information for every transaction made via Google Pay. This includes the date, time, and amount of the transaction, merchant location and description, a description of the purchased goods or services provided by the merchant, photos you have attached to the transaction, the name and email address of the seller and buyer or sender and recipient, the payment method used, your description of the reason for the transaction, and, if applicable, the offer associated with the transaction.

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, verification of transaction data, and the optimization and maintenance of the Google Pay service.

Google also reserves the right to combine the processed transaction data with other information collected and stored by Google when using other Google services.

10) Retargeting/Remarketing and Conversion Tracking

10.1 Meta Pixel with Advanced Matching

Within our online offering, we use the "Meta Pixel" service from the following provider in advanced 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 after redirection by a cookie that our linked page itself sets. In addition, this cookie collects specific customer data such as the e-mail address, which we collect on our website linked to the Facebook or Instagram ad during processes such as purchases, account logins, or registrations (advanced matching). The cookie is then read out and enables the transmission of data including the specific customer data to Meta.

We use "Meta Pixel" with advanced matching to make our advertisements (so-called "Ads") on Facebook and/or Instagram more effective and to ensure that they correspond to the interests of the users or have certain characteristics (e.g., interests in certain topics or products, which are determined based on the visited websites) that we transmit to Meta (so-called "Custom Audiences").

In addition, we analyze the effectiveness of our advertisements by tracking whether users have been redirected to our website after clicking on an advertisement (conversion). Compared to the standard version of "Meta Pixel", the advanced matching function helps us to 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 Policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). The data can enable Meta and its partners to place ads on and off Facebook.

All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the device used, will only take place if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your given 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 the provider, which ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

In this case, if you are logged in to Google during your visit to our website, Google will use your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define audience lists for cross-device remarketing. For this purpose, your personal data will be temporarily linked by Google with Google Analytics data to form audiences. In the context of using Google Ads Remarketing, personal data may also be transferred to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.

All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the device used, will only take place if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

10.5 Google Ads Conversion Tracking

We use the Google Ads offering to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites using advertising materials (so-called Google Adwords). We can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are in relation to the data of the advertising campaigns. We pursue the goal of showing you advertisements that are of interest to you, making our website more interesting for you, and achieving a fair calculation of the advertising costs incurred.

The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an Ads ad placed by Google. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device. 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 yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user has clicked on the ad and been redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to generate 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 tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that allows users to be personally identified.

In the context of using Google Ads, personal data may also be transferred to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.

Details on the processing initiated by Google Ads Conversion Tracking and how Google handles data from websites can be found here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the terminal device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

https://support.google.com/My-Ad-Center-Help/answer/12155656?hl=de

To address users whose data we have received as part of business or business-like relationships with even more interest-based advertising, we use a customer matching function within Google Ads. For this purpose, we electronically transmit one or more files with aggregated customer data (primarily email addresses and phone numbers) to Google. Google does not gain access to clear data but automatically encrypts the information in the customer files during the transmission process using a special algorithm. The encrypted information can then only be used by Google to match it with existing Google accounts that the data subjects have set up. This enables personalized advertising to be displayed across all Google services linked to the respective Google account.

The transmission of customer data to Google only takes place if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can withdraw this consent at any time with effect for the future. Further information on Google's data protection measures regarding the customer matching function can be found here: https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/6334160?hl=de&ref_topic=10550182

We pursue the goal of showing you advertising that is of interest to you, making our website more interesting for you, and achieving a fair calculation of the advertising costs incurred.

The ID is set when a user clicks on an Ads ad placed by Google. If the user visits certain pages of this website, 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.

Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag.

However, you do not receive any information that personally identifies users. In the context of using Google Ads, personal data may also be transferred to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.

10.8 Google Marketing Platform

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

GMP uses cookies to serve ads relevant to users, improve campaign performance reports, or prevent a user from seeing the same ads multiple times. Through a cookie ID, Google records which ads are served in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed multiple times. In addition, GMP can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a GMP ad and later visits the advertiser's website using the same browser 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 Google's server.

We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you to the best of our knowledge as follows: By integrating GMP, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can associate the visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider will obtain and store your IP address.

ShopSync synchronizes the newsletter service "Mailchimp" with our Shopify account in such a way that, on the one hand, updates in Mailchimp email lists (e.g., an opt-out by a newsletter recipient) are automatically recorded on Shopify, and on the other hand, new contact data generated through contracts on Shopify is automatically transferred to Mailchimp email lists.

In the former case, data processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the efficient and cross-system maintenance of advertising recipient files and the effective observance of legally significant status changes.

In the latter case, solely on the basis of the user's explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR after a contract conclusion on Shopify for inclusion in the Mailchimp list, their first and last name, address, and email address, along with transaction-related information (purchase amount, time and date of purchase), are transferred to Mailchimp by ShopSync.

Data transferred in this way is not stored or retained by ShopSync after synchronization. All information synchronized between Shopify and Mailchimp is transmitted via SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology, and all transmitted information remains encrypted during the synchronization process.

The synchronization process requires the transfer of information over a secure connection to servers hosted by Amazon Web Services in the USA.

12.2 Cookie Consent Tool

This website uses a so-called "Cookie Consent Tool" to obtain effective user consents for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The "Cookie Consent Tool" is displayed to users in the form of an interactive user interface when they visit the page, on which consents for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be given by checking a box. Through the use of the tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective user gives the corresponding consent by checking a box. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the respective user's device if consent has been given.

The tool sets technically necessary cookies to save your cookie preferences. Personal user data is generally not processed here.

If, in individual cases, personal data (such as the IP address) is processed for the purpose of storing, assigning or logging cookie settings, this is done in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR 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.

Another legal basis for the processing is also Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. As the controller, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user's consent.

Where necessary, we have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

Further information on the operator and the setting options of the Cookie Consent Tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.

The collected IP address is compared with a list of known attackers. If the collected IP address is identified as a security risk, the provider can automatically block it from accessing the page. The information thus collected is transmitted to a server of the provider and stored there.

The described data processing takes place in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interests in protecting the website from harmful cyber-attacks and in maintaining structural and data integrity and security.
