Data processing for order fulfillment

On our website, we offer customers the opportunity to personalize products by submitting image files through an upload function. The submitted image will be used as a template for personalizing the selected product.
Through the upload form on the website, the customer can directly transmit one or more image files from the storage of the used device to us via automated, encrypted data transmission. We collect, store, and use the transmitted files solely for the creation of the personalized product as described on our website. If the transmitted image files are shared with a specific service provider for the creation and processing of the order, you will be explicitly informed about this in the following paragraphs. No further sharing will occur. If the transmitted files or the digital motifs contain personal data (especially images of identifiable individuals), all the aforementioned processing operations will be carried out solely for the purpose of processing your online order in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
After the final processing of the order, the transmitted image files will be automatically and completely deleted.

8.4 Use of payment service providers (payment services)
- Amazon Pay
This website offers one or more online payment methods from the following provider: Amazon Payments Europe sca, 38 avenue JF Kennedy, L-1855 Luxembourg
When selecting a payment method from the provider where you pay in advance (such as credit card payment), your payment data (including name, address, bank and card information, currency, and transaction number) as well as information about the content of your order will be shared in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. The sharing of your data in this case is solely for the purpose of processing the payment with the provider and only to the extent necessary for this.
Apple Pay
If you choose the payment method "Apple Pay" from Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, the payment processing occurs 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 integrated into the hardware and software of your device to protect your transactions. To authorize a payment, you must also enter a code you previously set and verify using the "Face ID" or "Touch ID" feature of your device.
For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provide during the ordering process is first transmitted to Apple in encrypted form along with your order information. Apple re-encrypts this data with a developer-specific key before sending the data to the payment service provider of the payment card stored in Apple Pay to process the payment. The encryption ensures that only the website through which the purchase was made can access the payment data. After the payment is sent, 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 in the described transmissions, the processing is carried out solely for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
Apple stores anonymized transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, the approximate date and time, and whether the transaction was successfully completed. Anonymization completely eliminates 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 option to use Apple Pay on your Mac in your iPhone settings. Go to "Wallet & Apple Pay" and turn off "Allow Payments on Mac."

Google Pay
If you choose the payment method "Google Pay" from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"), the payment processing is done through the "Google Pay" application on your mobile device equipped with at least Android 4.4 ("KitKat") by charging a payment card stored in Google Pay or a verified payment system there (PayPal). To authorize a payment over Google Pay of more than €25, prior unlocking of your mobile device through the respective verification method (such as facial recognition, password, fingerprint, or pattern) is required.
For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provided during the ordering process is first forwarded to Google along with your order information. Google then transmits your payment information stored in Google Pay in the form of a one-time transaction number to the originating website, which verifies that a payment has been made. This transaction number does not contain any information about the actual payment data of your payment method stored in Google Pay, but is created and transmitted as a uniquely valid numerical token. In all transactions via Google Pay, Google acts solely as an intermediary for processing the payment. The execution of the transaction occurs solely between the user and the originating website by charging the payment method stored in Google Pay.
If personal data is processed in the described transmissions, the processing is carried out solely for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. 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 have attached to the transaction, the name and email address of the seller and buyer or sender and recipient, the payment method used, your description for the reason for the transaction, and any associated offer.
According to Google, this processing is carried out solely in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. 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 when using other Google services.

In such cases, to maintain our legitimate interest in assessing your creditworthiness, 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 provider checks based on the personal data you provided as well as other data (such as shopping cart, invoice amount, order history, payment experiences) whether the payment option you selected can be guaranteed in terms of payment and/or default risk.
The credit report may contain probability values (so-called score values). As far as score values are included in the result of the credit report, they are based on a scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical procedure. The calculation of the score values includes, among other things but not exclusively, address data.
You can object to this processing of your data at any time by sending a message to us or to the provider. However, the provider may still be entitled to process your personal data as necessary for contractual payment processing.

9) Retargeting/ Remarketing and Conversion Tracking
Meta Pixel
Within our online offering, we use the "Meta Pixel" service from the following provider: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Quare, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Meta")
When a user clicks on an advertisement we run 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 after the redirect by a cookie set by our linked page.
This makes it possible to define the visitors of our online offering as a target group for displaying ads (so-called "Ads"). If we use the service to show the Facebook and/or Instagram ads we run only to users who have also shown interest in our online offering or who exhibit certain characteristics (e.g., interests in topics or products determined by the visited websites), we transmit these to Meta (so-called "Custom Audiences").
Conversely, the "Meta Pixel" can track whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on an advertisement and what actions they take there (so-called "conversion tracking").
The data collected is anonymous to us and does not provide us with any conclusions about the identity of the user. However, the data is stored and processed by Meta, allowing a connection to the respective user profile and enabling Meta to use the data for its own advertising purposes.
All the processing described above, especially the setting of cookies to read 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 site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
The information generated by Meta is usually transmitted to a server of Meta and stored there; in this context, there may also be a transfer to a server of Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA.
For data transmissions 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.
