5.4 WhatsApp Business

You have the option to contact us via the messaging service WhatsApp of 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 in connection with a specific transaction (e.g., an order), we store and use the mobile phone number you use on WhatsApp and, if provided, your first and last name in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR to process and respond to your request. Based on the same legal basis, we may ask you via WhatsApp to provide additional data (order number, customer number, address, or email address) to assign your request to a specific transaction.

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

Your data will always only be used to respond to your request via WhatsApp. It will not be passed on to third parties.

Please note that WhatsApp Business has access to the address book of the mobile device we use for this purpose and automatically transmits the 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 in whose address book only the WhatsApp contact data of users who have contacted us via WhatsApp are stored.

This ensures that every person whose WhatsApp contact details are stored in our address book has already consented to the transmission of their WhatsApp phone number from the address books of their chat contacts in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR when using the app for the first time by accepting the WhatsApp terms of use. The transmission of data of users who do not use WhatsApp and/or have not contacted us via WhatsApp is therefore excluded.

For the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of data by WhatsApp, as well as your rights and settings options to protect your privacy, please refer to WhatsApp's privacy policy: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/?eea=1#privacy-policy.

The legal basis for the processing of this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively resolved and there are no legal retention periods to the contrary.

6) Data Processing When Opening a Customer Account

In accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR, personal data will continue to be collected and processed to the extent necessary if you provide us with this data when opening a customer account.

If you select a payment method from the provider where you pay in advance (e.g., credit card payment), your payment data (including name, address, bank and payment card information, currency, and transaction number) provided during the ordering process, as well as information about the content of your order, will be shared with the provider in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. The sharing of your data in this case is solely for the purpose of payment processing with the provider and only to the extent necessary.

- Apple Pay
If you choose the payment method "Apple Pay" from Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, payment processing is carried out via the "Apple Pay" function of your device running iOS, watchOS, or macOS by charging a payment card stored in "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 set by you and verify it using the "Face ID" or "Touch ID" function of your device.

For payment processing, 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. The encryption ensures that only the website through which the purchase was made can access the payment data. After the payment is completed, 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 transmissions, the processing is carried out solely for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

Apple retains anonymized transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, date, and time, as well as an indication of whether the transaction was successfully completed. Anonymization ensures that no personal reference can be made. Apple uses the anonymized data to improve "Apple Pay" and other Apple products and services.

If you use Apple Pay on an iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase made via Safari on a Mac, the Mac and the authorization device communicate via an encrypted channel on Apple's servers. Apple does not process or store this information in a format that identifies you personally. 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."

Further information on data protection with Apple Pay can be found at the following web address:

paydirekt GmbH, Stephanstr. 14-16, 60313 Frankfurt am Main, Germany.

- 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 is carried out via the "Google Pay" application on your mobile device running at least Android 4.4 ("KitKat") and equipped with an NFC function 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 first unlock your mobile device using the configured verification method (e.g., facial recognition, password, fingerprint, or pattern).

For payment processing, the information you provide during the ordering process, along with information about your order, is transmitted to Google. Google then transmits your payment information stored in Google Pay in the form of a uniquely generated transaction number to the originating website to verify the payment. This transaction number contains no information about the actual payment data of your payment method stored in Google Pay but is created and transmitted as a one-time, valid numeric token. In all transactions via Google Pay, Google acts solely as an intermediary for processing the payment. The execution of the transaction occurs exclusively between the user and the originating website by charging the payment method stored in Google Pay.

If personal data is processed during the described transmissions, the processing is carried out solely 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 each 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 attach 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 any offer associated with the transaction.

According to Google, this processing is carried out solely in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR based on the legitimate interest in proper accounting, verification of transaction data, and 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 through the use of other Google services.

Our aim is to show you advertising that is of interest to you, to make our website more interesting for you, and to achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs.

The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on a Google Ads ad. 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 clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked across Google Ads customers' websites. The information collected 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 can be used to personally identify users.

Google does not have access to plain text 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 individuals have set up. This enables personalized advertising to be displayed across all Google services linked to the respective Google account.
