If you choose the "Apple Pay" payment method from Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, payment processing is handled via the "Apple Pay" function on your iOS, watchOS, or macOS device by charging a payment card stored in "Apple Pay." Apple Pay uses security features integrated into your device's hardware and software to protect your transactions. Authorizing a payment requires entering a code you previously set and verifying it using your device's "Face ID" or "Touch ID" function.

For payment processing purposes, the information you provide during the ordering process, along with information about your order, is transmitted 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 to complete the payment. Encryption ensures that only the website where the purchase was made can access the payment information. After the payment is processed, 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 described transfers, this processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Apple retains anonymized transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, the approximate date and time, and whether the transaction was successfully completed. Anonymization completely eliminates any possibility of identifying the individual. Apple uses the anonymized data to improve Apple Pay and other Apple products and services.

When you use Apple Pay on your iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase you made via Safari on your Mac, the Mac and the authorizing device communicate via an encrypted channel on Apple's servers. Apple does not process or store any of this information in a format that can identify you personally. You can disable the ability to use Apple Pay on your Mac in your iPhone settings. Go to "Wallet & Apple Pay" and turn off "Allow Payments on Mac."

This processing only occurs if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. Without this consent, Google Tag Manager will not be used during your visit. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. To withdraw your consent, please deactivate this service using the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

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

11.3 Shopify Analytics

This website uses the web analytics service provided by: Shopify International Limited, Victoria Buildings, 2nd Floor, 1-2 Haddington Road, Dublin 4, D04 XN32, Ireland

Data is also transferred to: Shopify Inc., 150 Elgin St, Ottawa, ON K2P 1L4, Canada

Using cookies and/or similar technologies (tracking pixels, web beacons, algorithms for reading device and browser information), the service collects and stores pseudonymized visitor data, including information about the device used.

We collect your IP address and browser information to analyze user behavior on our website and create pseudonymized user profiles. This allows us to analyze movement patterns (so-called heatmaps) that show the duration of page visits and interactions with page content (e.g., text input, scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs). Pseudonymization fundamentally prevents any direct identification of individuals. This data is not combined with other personally identifiable information collected about you.

All processing described above, in particular the reading or storage of information on your device, will only be carried out if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

[Note: The final sentence about pseudonymization and the ability to identify you is unrelated and should be omitted.] We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider that protects the data of our website visitors and prohibits its transfer to third parties.

When data is transferred to Canada, an adequate level of data protection is ensured by an adequacy decision of the European Commission.

12) Retargeting/Remarketing and Conversion Tracking
12.1 Meta Pixel

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

When a user clicks on an advertisement we have placed on Facebook and/or Instagram, the URL of our linked page is extended with a parameter using "Meta Pixel." This URL parameter is then entered into the user's browser after redirection via a cookie set by our linked page itself.

This allows Meta to identify visitors to our online services as a target group for displaying advertisements ("ads"). Accordingly, we use this service to display the Facebook and/or Instagram ads we place only to users who have shown an interest in our online offerings or who exhibit certain characteristics (e.g., interests in specific topics or products, determined based on the websites they visit) that we transmit to Meta (so-called "Custom Audiences").

On the other hand, the "Meta Pixel" allows us to track whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on an ad and what actions they take there (so-called "conversion tracking").

The data collected is anonymous to us, meaning we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Meta, so 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 user's device, will only take place if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a GDPR. You can withdraw 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 the provider, which ensures the protection of our website visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

The information generated by Meta is generally transferred to and stored on a Meta server; in this context, data may also be transferred to servers of Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA.

12.2 Google Ads Remarketing

This website uses retargeting technology from the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland

For this purpose, Google places a cookie in your browser, which automatically enables interest-based advertising using a pseudonymous cookie ID and based on the pages you have visited. Further data processing only takes place if you have consented to Google linking your internet and app browsing history to your Google account and using information from your Google account to personalize ads you see on the web. If you are logged into Google during your visit to our website, Google will use your data

Together with Google Analytics data, we create and define target audience lists for cross-device remarketing. For this purpose, your personal data is temporarily linked by Google with Google Analytics data to form target audiences. When 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 to read information on your device, will only be carried out if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Without this consent, retargeting technology will not be used during your visit to our website.

You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your right of revocation, please deactivate this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

12.3 Google Ads Conversion Tracking

This website uses the online advertising program "Google Ads" and, within the framework of Google Ads, the conversion tracking service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"). We use Google Ads to advertise our attractive offers on external websites using advertising materials (so-called Google AdWords). Based on the data from these advertising campaigns, we can determine the success of individual advertising measures. Our aim is to show you advertising that is relevant to you, to make our website more interesting for you, and to ensure fair billing 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 device. These cookies typically expire 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 clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Therefore, cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of different Google Ads customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. These customers see 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 that can personally identify users. Using Google Ads may also involve the transfer of personal data to Google LLC servers in the USA.

Details about the processing triggered by Google Ads Conversion Tracking and how Google handles website data can be found here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies to read information on the user's device, will only be carried out if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by disabling this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

You can also permanently object to the setting of cookies by Google Ads Conversion Tracking by downloading and installing the browser plug-in from Google, available at the following link:

When you access a page on our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the provider's servers to load the content, at the latest when the video is played. Certain information, including your IP address, is transmitted to the provider in this process.

When embedded videos are played via the plugin, the provider also uses cookies to collect information about user behavior, compile playback statistics, and prevent misuse.

Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive maps to visually represent geographical information. Using this service allows us to show you our location and makes it easier for you to find directions.

When you access pages that include a Google Maps map, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to and stored on Google servers. This may also involve transmission to the servers of Google LLC in the USA. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account that you are logged into or whether a user account exists at all. If you are logged into Google, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you do not want this association with your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and analyzes them.

The collection, storage, and analysis of this data are carried out in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of the GDPR based on Google's legitimate interest in displaying personalized advertising, conducting market research, and/or designing Google websites to meet user needs. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and you must contact Google to exercise this right.

If you are unable to use Google Maps, you can also completely deactivate the Google Maps web service by disabling JavaScript in your browser. Google Maps, and therefore the map display on this website, will then be unavailable.

Where legally required, we have obtained your consent for the processing of your data as described above, in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.
