5) Contact

5.1WhatsApp-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 regarding a specific business matter (for example, an order placed), we will store and use the mobile phone number you used on WhatsApp as well as – if provided – your first and last name in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b. GDPR for processing and responding to your request. Based on the same legal basis, we may ask you via WhatsApp to provide additional information (order number, customer number, address, or email address) in order to assign your inquiry to a specific process.

"Use our WhatsApp contact for general inquiries (such as about the range of services, availability, or our online presence) and we will store and use the mobile phone number you use on WhatsApp as well as – if provided – your first and last name in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR based on our legitimate interest in the efficient and timely provision of the requested information."

Your data will only be used to respond to your inquiry via WhatsApp. There will be no transfer 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 that only contains the WhatsApp contact details of users who have also contacted us via WhatsApp.

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 para. 1 lit. a GDPR upon first use of the app on their device by accepting the WhatsApp terms of use. The transmission of data from users who do not use WhatsApp and/or have not contacted us via WhatsApp is therefore excluded.

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

8.3Use of payment service providers (payment services)

- Apple Pay

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, is 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."

In this process, regardless of a login to an existing user profile, information about your device used (including your IP address), your browser, and your page history is transmitted to the provider and may be further processed there."

"If you are logged into an existing user profile on the provider's social network, information about interactions performed via the plugins will also be published there and shown to your contacts."
