You have the option of contacting us via the WhatsApp messaging service 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 on the occasion of a specific transaction (for example, an order you have placed), 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) (b) GDPR for the purpose of processing and responding to your enquiry. On the same legal basis, we may ask you via WhatsApp to provide additional data (order number, customer number, address or e-mail address) in order to be able to assign your enquiry to a specific transaction.
If you use our WhatsApp contact for general enquiries (for example about our range of services, availability or our online presence), 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) (f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in providing the requested information efficiently and promptly.
Your data will only ever be used to respond to your enquiry 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 stored telephone numbers 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 whose address book only stores the WhatsApp contact data of those users who have also contacted us via WhatsApp.
This ensures that every person whose WhatsApp contact data is stored in our address book has already consented, when first using the app on their device, by accepting the WhatsApp terms of use, to the transmission of their WhatsApp telephone number from the address books of their chat contacts in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. The transmission of data of users who do not use WhatsApp and/or have not contacted us via WhatsApp is therefore excluded.
For information on the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by WhatsApp, as well as your rights in this regard and settings options for protecting your privacy, please refer to WhatsApp’s privacy policy: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/?eea=1#privacy-policy

5.4 When you contact us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail), personal data is processed – solely for the purpose of processing and responding to your enquiry and only to the extent necessary for this purpose.
The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your enquiry in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. Your data will be deleted when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified and provided that there are no statutory retention obligations to the contrary.
As part of the comment function on this website, in addition to your comment, information on the time the comment was created and the commentator name you have chosen is stored and published on this website. Your IP address is also logged and stored. This storage of the IP address is for security reasons and in the event that the person concerned violates the rights of third parties or posts unlawful content by submitting a comment. We need your e-mail address in order to contact you if a third party objects to your published content as being unlawful.
The legal bases for storing your data are Art. 6 (1) (b) and (f) GDPR. We reserve the right to delete comments if they are objected to by third parties as being unlawful.
In accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, personal data will continue to be collected and processed to the extent necessary if you provide it to us when opening a customer account. You can see which data is required to open an account from the input form on our website.

9.3 Use of payment service providers (payment services)
- Apple Pay
If you choose the “Apple Pay” payment method of Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, payment will be processed via the “Apple Pay” function of your device running iOS, watchOS or macOS by charging a payment card stored with “Apple Pay”. Apple Pay uses security functions that are integrated into the hardware and software of your device to protect your transactions. To approve a payment, you must therefore enter a code that you have previously defined and verify it using the “Face ID” or “Touch ID” function of your device.
For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provide during the ordering process, together with information about your order, is transmitted to Apple in encrypted form. Apple then encrypts this data again with a developer-specific key before transmitting the data to the payment service provider of the payment card stored in Apple Pay for the purpose of carrying out 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.
Insofar as personal data is processed in the context of the transfers described, the processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.
Apple stores anonymised transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, the approximate date and time and whether the transaction was successfully completed. Due to anonymisation, a personal reference is completely excluded. Apple uses the anonymised data to improve “Apple Pay” and other Apple products and services.
If you use Apple Pay on your iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase that you made via Safari on your Mac, the Mac and the authorisation 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 the settings of your iPhone. Go to “Wallet & Apple Pay” and deactivate “Allow Payments on Mac”.
Further information on data protection with Apple Pay can be found at the following internet address: https://support.apple.com/de-de/HT203027

To approve a payment via Google Pay of more than €25, you must first unlock your mobile device using the verification method set up in each case (e.g. facial recognition, password, fingerprint or pattern).
For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provide during the ordering process, together with information about your order, is transmitted to Google. Google then transmits your payment information stored in Google Pay in the form of a one-time transaction number to the originating website, which is used to verify a successful payment. This transaction number does not contain any information about the actual payment data of your payment methods stored with Google Pay, but is created and transmitted as a one-time valid numeric token. In all transactions via Google Pay, Google only acts as an intermediary for processing the payment. The transaction is carried out exclusively in the relationship between the user and the originating website by debiting the payment method stored with Google Pay.
Insofar as personal data is processed in the context of the transfers described, the processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

This includes the date, time and amount of the transaction, the merchant’s location and description, a description of the goods or services purchased provided by the merchant, photos you attach to the transaction, the name and e-mail address of the seller and buyer or sender and recipient, the payment method used, your description of the reason for the transaction and, where applicable, the offer associated with the transaction.
According to Google, this processing is carried out exclusively in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of the legitimate interest in proper accounting, verification of transaction data and optimisation and maintenance of the functionality of the Google Pay service.

When paying via PayPal, credit card via PayPal, direct debit via PayPal or – if offered – “Pay Later” via PayPal, we pass on your payment data to PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22–24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (“PayPal”) as part of the payment processing. The data is passed on in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR and only to the extent necessary for payment processing.
For the payment methods credit card via PayPal, direct debit via PayPal or – if offered – “Pay Later” via PayPal, PayPal reserves the right to carry out a credit check. For this purpose, your payment data may be passed on to credit agencies in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of PayPal’s legitimate interest in determining your solvency. PayPal uses the result of the credit check in relation to the statistical probability of default for the purpose of deciding whether to provide the respective payment method. The credit report may contain probability values (so-called score values). Insofar as score values are included in the result of the credit report, they are based on a scientifically recognised mathematical-statistical procedure. Address data is included in the calculation of the score values, among other things but not exclusively. You can object to this processing of your data at any time by sending a message to PayPal. However, PayPal may still be entitled to process your personal data if this is necessary for contractual payment processing.

The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR in each case. In this case, Ratepay carries out an identity and credit check in its own name to determine solvency in accordance with the principle already described above and, on the basis of the legitimate interest in determining solvency in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, passes on your payment data to credit agencies.

11.1 Meta Pixel
Within our online offering, we use the “Meta Pixel” service of the following provider: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Meta”)
If a user clicks on an advertisement placed by us on Facebook and/or Instagram, the URL of our linked page is extended by a parameter using “Meta Pixel”. This URL parameter is then entered into the user’s browser via a cookie that our linked page itself sets after redirection.
This enables Meta, on the one hand, to determine the visitors to our online offering as a target group for the display of ads (so-called “ads”). Accordingly, we use the service to display the Facebook and/or Instagram ads placed by us only to those users who have also shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited) that we transmit to Meta (“custom audiences”).
On the other hand, “Meta Pixel” can be used 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, so it does not allow us to draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Meta, so that 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 for reading information on the device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (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 site visitors’ data and prohibits unauthorised disclosure to third parties.
The information generated by Meta is generally transmitted to a Meta server and stored there; in this context, data may also be transferred to servers of Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA.
For data transfers to the USA, the provider is certified under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework, which, on the basis of an adequacy decision by the European Commission, ensures compliance with the European level of data protection.
11.2 Google Ads conversion tracking
This website uses the online advertising programme “Google Ads” and, within the framework of Google Ads, conversion tracking by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”). We use the services of Google Ads to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites with the help of advertising media (so-called Google AdWords). In relation to the data of the advertising campaigns, we can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are. 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 the advertising costs incurred.
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 generally lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages on this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognise that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers. The information obtained with the help of the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. The customers learn 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 be used to personally identify users. In the context of the use of Google Ads, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC in the USA.

This website uses the Shopify app “ShopSync” from ShopSync LLC, PO Box 252, Jefferson City, TN 37760, USA.
With the help of ShopSync, the newsletter service “Mailchimp” is synchronised with our Shopify account so that, on the one hand, updates in Mailchimp e-mail lists (such as an opt-out by a newsletter recipient) are automatically stored on Shopify and, on the other hand, new contact data generated via contract conclusions on Shopify is automatically transferred to Mailchimp e-mail lists.

Data transmitted in this way is not stored or retained by ShopSync after synchronisation. All information synchronised between Shopify and Mailchimp is transmitted via SSL technology (Secure Socket Layer), and all transmitted information remains encrypted during the synchronisation process.
The synchronisation process requires the transmission of information via a secure connection to servers hosted by Amazon Web Services in the USA.

To verify and publish customer reviews, we use the services of the following provider: Judge.me Ltd., c/o Buckworths, 2nd Floor, 1-3 Worship Street, London, England, EC2A 2AB, United Kingdom

IF WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA ON THE BASIS OF OUR OVERRIDING LEGITIMATE INTEREST WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF A BALANCING OF INTERESTS, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THIS PROCESSING AT ANY TIME ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, WITH EFFECT FOR THE FUTURE.
IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL STOP PROCESSING THE DATA CONCERNED. HOWEVER, FURTHER PROCESSING IS RESERVED IF WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR IF THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS.
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED BY US FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING. YOU CAN EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.
IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL STOP PROCESSING THE DATA CONCERNED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES.
The duration of 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. retention periods under commercial and tax law).
When processing personal data on the basis of express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, the data concerned will be stored until you withdraw your consent.
If there are statutory retention periods for data that is processed within the framework of legal or quasi-legal obligations on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, this data will be routinely deleted after the retention periods have expired, provided that it is no longer required for the performance of the contract or the initiation of a contract and/or there is no legitimate interest on our part in continuing to store it.
When processing personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, this data will be stored until you exercise your right to object in accordance with Art. 21 (1) GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
When processing personal data for direct marketing purposes on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, this data will be stored until you exercise your right to object in accordance with Art. 21 (2) GDPR.
Unless otherwise stated in the other information in this policy on specific processing situations, stored personal data will otherwise be deleted when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
