If you choose the payment method "Apple Pay" from Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, the payment processing will be done through 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 that are integrated into the hardware and software of your device to protect your transactions. Therefore, to authorize a payment, you will need to enter a code that you have previously set, as well as verify using the "Face ID" or "Touch ID" function of your device.

For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provided during the ordering process, along with the information about your order, will be transmitted in encrypted form to Apple. Apple then encrypts this data again with a developer-specific key before the data is transmitted to the payment service provider of the payment card stored in Apple Pay for 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 the success of the payment.

"If personal data is processed in the described transmissions, the processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR."

Apple retains anonymized transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, the approximate date and time, as well as an indication of 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.

When you use Apple Pay on your iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase made through 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 ability to use Apple Pay on your Mac in the settings of your iPhone. Go to "Wallet & Apple Pay" and turn off "Allow Payments on Mac."

"This website offers one or more online payment methods from the following provider: Stripe Payments Europe Ltd., 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin, Ireland."

In order to safeguard our legitimate interest in determining the creditworthiness of our customers, this data will be forwarded to the provider in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR for the purpose of a credit check.

The credit report may contain probability values (so-called score values).

The calculation of the score values includes, among other things, but is not limited to, address data.

You can object to this processing of your data at any time by sending us a message or by contacting the provider. However, the provider may still be entitled to process your personal data if this is necessary for the contractual payment processing.

10) Web analysis services

Google Analytics 4
This app uses Google Analytics 4, a service of the company Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"), which can be used to analyze the usage of apps.
When using Google Analytics 4, so-called "cookies" are used by default. Cookies are text files that are stored on your device and allow for an analysis of your use of an app. The information collected by cookies about your use of the app (including the truncated IP address transmitted by your device, see below) is usually transmitted to a server of Google and stored and processed there. This may also involve the transmission of information to the servers of the company Google LLC based in the USA, where further processing of the information may occur.
When using Google Analytics 4, the IP address transmitted by your device during your use of the app is collected and processed by default and automatically only in an anonymized manner, so that a direct personal reference of the collected information is excluded. This automatic anonymization occurs by truncating the last digits of the IP address transmitted by your device by Google within member states of the European Union (EU) or other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA).
On our behalf, Google uses this and other information to evaluate your use of the app, to compile reports about your app activities or usage behavior, and to provide us with additional services related to your app usage and internet usage. In this process, the truncated IP address transmitted from your device as part of Google Analytics 4 is not combined with other data from Google. The data collected as part of the use of Google Analytics 4 is retained for 2 months and then deleted.
Google Analytics 4 enables the creation of statistics with statements about the age, gender, and interests of app users based on an evaluation of interest-based advertising and the inclusion of third-party information through a special feature called "demographic characteristics." This allows for the determination and differentiation of user groups of the app for the purpose of audience-optimized targeting of marketing measures. However, the data collected through the "demographic characteristics" cannot be assigned to any specific person and thus not to you personally. The data collected through the "demographic characteristics" feature is retained for two months and then deleted.
All processing described above, in particular the setting of Google Analytics cookies for the storage and retrieval of information on the device you use to access the app, will only take place if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Without your consent, the use of Google Analytics 4 will not occur during your use of the app. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please deactivate this service via the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided in the app.
In connection with this app, the "UserIDs" feature is also used as an extension of Google Analytics 4. By assigning individual UserIDs, we can have cross-device reports created by Google (so-called "Cross Device Tracking"). This means that your usage behavior can be analyzed across devices, provided you give your consent to the use of Google Analytics 4 in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, if you have set up a personal account by registering on this app and are logged in with your relevant login data on different devices. The data collected in this way shows, among other things, on which device you first clicked on an ad and on which device the corresponding conversion took place.
Im Zusammenhang mit dieser App wird als Erweiterung von Google Analytics 4 auch der Dienst Google Signals eingesetzt. Mit Google Signals können wir geräteübergreifende Berichte (Reports) durch Google erstellen lassen (sog. „Cross Device Tracking“). Sofern Sie in Ihren Einstellungen in Ihrem Google-Konto die „personalisierten Anzeigen“ aktiviert und Ihre internetfähigen Endgeräte mit Ihrem Google-Konto verknüpft haben, kann Google das Nutzungsverhalten bei Erteilung Ihrer Einwilligung in den Einsatz von Google Analytics 4 gemäß Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO geräteübergreifend analysieren und hierauf basierende Datenbankmodelle erstellen. Berücksichtigt werden dabei die Anmeldungen und Gerätetypen aller App-Nutzer, die in einem Google-Konto angemeldet waren und eine Conversion ausgeführt haben. Die Daten zeigen unter anderem, auf welchem Endgerät Sie das erste Mal auf eine Anzeige geklickt haben und auf welchem Endgerät die diesbezügliche Conversion erfolgt ist. Wir erhalten hierbei keine personenbezogenen Daten von Google, sondern lediglich auf Basis von Google Signals erstellte Statistiken. Sie haben die Möglichkeit, die Funktion „personalisierte Anzeigen“ in den Einstellungen Ihres Google-Kontos zu deaktivieren und damit die geräteübergreifende Analyse im Zusammenhang mit Google Signals abzustellen. Folgen Sie hierzu den Hinweisen auf dieser Seite: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=de
Weitergehende Informationen zu Google Signals finden Sie unter folgendem Link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7532985?hl=de
"We have concluded a so-called data processing agreement with Google for our use of Google Analytics 4, which obliges Google to protect the data of our app users and not to disclose it to third parties."

11) Retargeting/ Remarketing and Conversion Tracking

11.1 Facebook Pixel for creating Custom Audiences with enhanced data matching (with cookie consent tool)

"Within our online offering, we use the service 'Facebook Pixel' from the following provider in the mode of extended data matching: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Quare, Dublin 2, Ireland ('Facebook')"

When a user clicks on an advertisement we have placed on Facebook, the URL of our linked page is extended by a parameter using "Facebook Pixel". This URL parameter is then entered into the user's browser after redirection by a cookie that our linked page itself sets. Furthermore, this cookie captures specific customer data such as the email address, which we collect on our website linked to the Facebook ad during processes such as purchase completions, account logins, or registrations (enhanced data matching). The cookie is then read and enables the transmission of data including the specific customer data to Facebook.

We use "Facebook Pixel" with advanced data matching to make our Facebook ads (so-called "Facebook Ads") more effective and to ensure that they correspond to the interests of users or exhibit certain characteristics (e.g. interests in specific topics or products determined by the visited websites), which we transmit to Facebook (so-called "Custom Audiences").

Furthermore, we analyze the effectiveness of our advertisements by tracking whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on an ad (conversion). Compared to the standard version of "Facebook Pixel," the advanced data matching feature helps us measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns more accurately by capturing more attributed conversions.

All transmitted data will be stored and processed by Facebook, so that an assignment to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with Facebook's data usage policies.https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/) can be used. The data may enable Facebook and its partners to serve ads on and off Facebook.

All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the device used, 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 revoke 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 that ensures the protection of our website visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties."

The information generated by Facebook is usually transmitted to a server of Facebook and stored there; in this context, it may also be transmitted to servers of Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA.

"For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European level of data protection based on an adequacy decision by the European Commission."

Further data processing only takes place if you have consented to Google linking your internet and app browsing history with your Google account and using information from your Google account to personalize ads that you view on the web. If you are logged into Google during your visit to our website in this case, Google uses your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define audience lists for cross-device remarketing. For this purpose, your personal data is temporarily linked by Google with Google Analytics data to form audiences. As part of the use of Google Ads Remarketing, there may also be a transfer of personal data 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 be carried out if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

11.5 Google Ads Conversion Tracking

"This website uses the online advertising program 'Google Ads' and, as part of Google Ads, the conversion tracking of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ('Google')."

"We use the Google Ads service to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites with the help of advertising materials (so-called Google AdWords). We can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are in relation to the data from the advertising campaigns. Our aim is to show you ads that are of interest to you, to make our website more interesting for you, and to achieve a fair calculation of the advertising costs incurred."

The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an ad displayed by Google. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device. These cookies usually 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 Google Ads customers. The information obtained through 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 marked with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that would allow for personal identification of users.

"As part of the use of Google Ads, there may also be a transmission of personal data to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA."

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

"You can 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:"
https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin?hl=de

To address users whose data we have received in the context of business or business-like relationships in a more interest-oriented manner, we use a customer matching feature within Google Ads. For this purpose, we transmit one or more files with aggregated customer data (primarily email addresses and phone numbers) electronically to Google. Google does not gain access to clear data; instead, it 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 associate it with existing Google accounts that the affected individuals have set up. This enables the delivery of personalized advertising across all Google services linked to the respective Google account.

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

The provider processes incoming and outgoing invoices as well as, if applicable, the bank transactions of our company in order to automatically capture invoices, match them to the transactions, and create the financial accounting from this in a semi-automated process.

"If personal data is also processed in this context, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR based on our legitimate interest in an efficient organization and documentation of our business processes."

13.2 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 the page is accessed, where consents for specific cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be granted by checking boxes. With the use of the tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective user grants the corresponding consents by checking the boxes. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the user's device if consent has been given.

The tool sets technically necessary cookies to store your cookie preferences. Personal user data is generally not processed in this context.

"In individual cases, if the processing of personal data (such as the IP address) occurs for the purpose of storing, assigning, or logging cookie settings, this is done in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR based on 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 online presence."

Another legal basis for processing is also Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. As data controllers, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user consent.

"As far as necessary, we have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider that ensures the protection of our website visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties."

Further information about the operator and the settings options of the cookie consent tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.

"IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL CEASE PROCESSING THE AFFECTED DATA. HOWEVER, FURTHER PROCESSING REMAINS RESERVED IF WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING PROTECTABLE REASONS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR IF THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS."

"IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL CEASE PROCESSING THE AFFECTED DATA FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES."

15) Duration of storage of personal data

The duration of the storage of personal data is determined by the respective legal basis, the purpose of processing, and – if applicable – additionally by the respective statutory retention period (e.g. commercial and tax retention periods).

When processing personal data based on explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, the affected data will be stored until you revoke your consent.

"If there are statutory retention periods for data processed in the context of contractual or contract-like obligations based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, this data will be routinely deleted after the retention periods have expired, provided that it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract and/or we have no legitimate interest in further storage."

When processing personal data based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, this data will be stored until you exercise your right to object under Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

When processing personal data for the purpose of direct marketing based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, this data will be stored until you exercise your right to object under Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR.

Unless otherwise stated in the other information of this declaration regarding specific processing situations, stored personal data will be deleted when they are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
