7) Use of customer data for direct marketing
7.1 Registration for our email newsletter
When you subscribe to our email newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our offers. The only mandatory information required to send you the newsletter is your email address. Providing any further information is voluntary and is used to personalize our communications with you. We use the double opt-in procedure for sending our newsletter. This means that we will only send you an email newsletter after you have explicitly confirmed that you consent to receiving it. We will then send you a confirmation email asking you to click on a link to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter in the future.
By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent to use your personal data in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of the GDPR. When you subscribe to the newsletter, we store your IP address, which is registered by your internet service provider (ISP), as well as the date and time of registration, in order to be able to trace any potential misuse of your email address at a later date. The data we collect when you subscribe to the newsletter is used exclusively for sending you promotional material via the newsletter. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via the unsubscribe link provided in the newsletter or by sending a corresponding message to the data controller named above. After you unsubscribe, your email address will be immediately deleted from our newsletter mailing list, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use your data for other purposes permitted by law, about which we inform you in this privacy policy.
7.2 Newsletter distribution via MailChimp
Our email newsletters are sent via the technical service provider The Rocket Science Group, LLC d/b/a MailChimp, 675 Ponce de Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA (http://www.mailchimp.com/), to whom we transfer the data you provided when subscribing to the newsletter. This transfer is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR and serves our legitimate interest in using an effective, secure, and user-friendly newsletter system. Please note that your data is generally transferred to and stored on a MailChimp server in the USA.
MailChimp uses this information to send and statistically analyze newsletters on our behalf. For this analysis, the emails we send contain web beacons or tracking pixels, which are single-pixel image files stored on our website. This allows us to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links, if any, have been clicked. MailChimp uses these web beacons to automatically generate general, non-personal statistics about responses to newsletter campaigns. Based on our legitimate interest in the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns to optimize our advertising communication and better target recipient interests, the web beacons also collect and process data from the respective newsletter recipient (email address, time of access, IP address, browser type, and operating system) in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. This data allows for individual inferences about the newsletter recipient and is processed by Mailchimp to automatically create statistics that show whether a particular recipient has opened a newsletter message.
If you wish to deactivate data analysis for statistical evaluation purposes, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter.
MailChimp may also use this data itself, in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, based on its own legitimate interest in tailoring and optimizing the service to user needs and for market research purposes, such as determining the countries of origin of the recipients. However, MailChimp does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to contact them directly or to share it with third parties.
To protect your data in the USA, we have concluded a data processing agreement with MailChimp based on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses to enable the transfer of your personal data to MailChimp. This data processing agreement can be viewed at the following web address: https://mailchimp.com/legal/data-processing-addendum/

8.4 Use of payment service providers (payment services)
- Apple Pay
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 with "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 your identity using your device's "Face ID" or "Touch ID" function.
For payment processing purposes, the information you provide during the ordering process, along with details of your order, will be 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. This encryption ensures that only the website where the purchase was made can access the payment information. After the payment has been processed, Apple sends your device account number and a transaction-specific, dynamic security code to the originating website to confirm the 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 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
Apple retains anonymized transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, date, and time, as well as whether the transaction was successful. Anonymization completely eliminates any possibility of identifying individuals. Apple uses this 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 through Safari on your Mac, your Mac and the authorizing 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 personally. You can disable the ability to use Apple Pay on your Mac in your iPhone's settings. Go to "Wallet & Apple Pay" and turn off "Allow Payments on Mac."
Further information on data protection with Apple Pay can be found at the following web address: https://support.apple.com/de-de/HT203027

For payment processing purposes, the information you provide during the ordering process, along with information about your order, will be shared with Google. Google will then transmit your payment information stored in Google Pay to the originating website in the form of a unique transaction number, which is used to verify the payment. This transaction number contains no information about the actual payment details of your payment method stored in Google Pay, but is created and transmitted as a unique numerical token. In all transactions via Google Pay, Google acts solely as an intermediary for processing the payment. The transaction is executed 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 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
Google reserves the right to collect, store, and analyze certain transaction-specific information for each transaction made through Google Pay.

According to Google, this processing is carried out exclusively in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of the legitimate interest in proper accounting, verification of transaction data and the optimization and maintenance of the Google Pay service.

- Right of access pursuant to Article 15 GDPR: You have, in particular, the right to information about your personal data processed by us, the purposes of the processing, the categories of personal data processed, the recipients or categories of recipients to whom your data have been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period or the criteria for determining the storage period, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, objection to processing, lodging a complaint with a supervisory authority, the origin of your data if they were not collected from you by us, the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, and, where applicable, meaningful information about the logic involved and the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for you, as well as your right to be informed of the safeguards pursuant to Article 46 GDPR relating to the transfer of your data to third countries;

- Right to erasure pursuant to Article 17 GDPR: You have the right to request the erasure of your personal data if the conditions of Article 17(1) GDPR are met. However, this right does not exist, in particular, if the processing is necessary for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
- Right to restriction of processing pursuant to Article 18 GDPR: You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data as long as the accuracy of your data, which you have contested, is being verified; if you object to the erasure of your data due to unlawful data processing and instead request the restriction of the processing of your data; if you need your data for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims after we no longer need this data for the purposes for which it was collected; or if you have objected to processing on grounds relating to your particular situation, pending the verification whether our legitimate grounds override yours.
- Right to information pursuant to Article 19 GDPR: If you have asserted your right to rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obligated to inform all recipients to whom your personal data has been disclosed of this rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.

In the event of withdrawal, we will delete the data concerned immediately, unless further processing is permitted by another legal basis that does not require consent. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
- Right to lodge a complaint pursuant to Article 77 GDPR: If you believe that the processing of your personal data infringes the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

If you exercise your right to object, we will cease processing the data in question.

The indication of additional possible data is voluntary and is used to allow us to address you personally. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure for sending newsletters. This means that we will not send you an e-mail newsletter, unless you have expressly confirmed to us that you agree to the sending of such a newsletter. We will then send you a confirmation e-mail asking you to confirm that you wish to receive future newsletters by clicking on an appropriate link.
By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent to the use of your personal data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) point a GDPR. When you register for the newsletter, we store your IP address entered by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration so that we can trace any possible misuse of your e-mail address at a later time.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via the link provided in the newsletter or by sending a message to the responsible person named above. After your cancellation, your e-mail address will immediately be deleted from our newsletter distribution list, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use data in excess thereof, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration.

This disclosure is made in accordance with Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR and serves our legitimate interest in the use of an effective, secure and user-friendly newsletter system. Please note that your data is usually transferred to a MailChimp server in the USA and stored there.
MailChimp uses this information to send and statistically evaluate the newsletter on our behalf. For evaluation purposes, the e-mails sent contain so-called web beacons or tracking pixels, which represent single-pixel image files stored on our website. This allows us to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links have been clicked on. In addition, technical information is recorded (eg time of retrieval, IP address, browser type and operating system). The data is raised exclusively in a pseudonymized format and is not linked with other personal data from you. A direct personal relationship is excluded. This data is used exclusively for statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyzes can be used to better adapt future newsletters to the interests of the recipients.
If you wish to object to the data analysis for statistical evaluation purposes, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter.
Furthermore, MailChimp can use this data according to Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR even on the basis of its own legitimate interest in the demand-oriented design and optimization of the service as well as for market research purposes, for example to determine from which countries recipients come. However, MailChimp does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to address those recipients or pass that data on to third parties.
To protect your data in the USA, we have concluded a data processing agreement ("Data Processing Agreement") with MailChimp on the basis of the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission to enable the transmission of your personal data to MailChimp.
