If you contact us via WhatsApp regarding a specific transaction (for example, a placed order), we will store and use the mobile phone number you use for WhatsApp and – if provided – your first and last name in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR to process and respond to your request. Based on the same legal basis, we may ask you via WhatsApp to provide additional data (order number, customer number, address, or email address) so that we can assign your request to a specific process.

If you use our WhatsApp contact for general inquiries (e.g. about the range of services, availability or our website), we will save 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 the efficient and timely provision of the requested information.

Your data will only be used to respond to your request via WhatsApp. It will not be shared with third parties.

Please note that WhatsApp Business receives access to the address book of the mobile device we use for this purpose and automatically transfers telephone numbers stored in the address book to a server of the parent company Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA. To operate our WhatsApp Business account, we use a mobile device whose address book only stores the WhatsApp contact data of users who have contacted us via WhatsApp.

This ensures that every person whose WhatsApp contact details are stored in our address book has consented to the transmission of their WhatsApp telephone number from the address books of their chat contacts in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR by accepting the WhatsApp Terms of Use upon first use of the app on their device. The transmission of data from users who do not use WhatsApp and/or have not contacted us via WhatsApp is therefore excluded.

If you select a payment method from the provider that requires you to pay in advance (such as credit card payment), the payment details you provided during the ordering process (including name, address, bank and payment card information, currency and transaction number) as well as information about the content of your order will be passed on to the provider in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. In this case, your data will be passed on exclusively for the purpose of processing the payment with the provider and only to the extent that it is necessary for this purpose.
- Apple Pay

If you choose to use the "Apple Pay" payment method from Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, the payment will be processed using 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. To authorize a payment, you will need to enter a previously specified code and verify your payment using your device's "Face ID" or "Touch ID" function.

For payment processing, the information you provide during the ordering process, along with information about your order, is transmitted to Apple in encrypted form. Apple then re-encrypts this data with a developer-specific key before transmitting the data to the payment service provider of the payment card stored in Apple Pay to process the payment. This encryption ensures that only the website through which the purchase was made can access the payment data. After the payment is made, Apple sends your device account number and a transaction-specific, dynamic security code to the originating website to confirm the payment.

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

Apple retains anonymized transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, the approximate date and time, and whether the transaction was successful. This anonymization completely eliminates any personal identification. 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, your Mac and the authorization device communicate over an encrypted channel on Apple servers. Apple does not process or store any of this information in a format that can identify you personally. You can turn off 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 internet address: https://support.apple.com /de-de /HT203027
- Billie GmbH

If you select a payment method that requires the provider to pay in advance (e.g. purchase on account, installment purchase or direct debit), you will also be asked to provide certain personal information (first and last name, street, house number, postal code, town, date of birth, email address, telephone number, and, if applicable, details of an alternative payment method) during the ordering process.

In order to protect our legitimate interest in determining our customers' solvency, we will forward this data to the provider for the purpose of a credit check in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Based on the personal data you provide and other data (such as shopping cart, invoice amount, order history, and payment experience), the provider will check whether the payment option you have selected can be granted in light of payment and/or default risks.

In addition to provider-internal criteria pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, identity and creditworthiness information from the following credit agencies may also be taken into account when making a decision during the application review process:

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

Address data, among other things, is used in the calculation of the score values.

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

This website offers one or more online payment methods from the following provider: paydirekt GmbH, Stephanstr. 14-16, 60313 Frankfurt am Main, Germany

If you choose the "Google Pay" payment method provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"), payment will be processed via the "Google Pay" application on your mobile device running at least Android 4.4 ("KitKat") and equipped with NFC by charging a payment card stored with Google Pay or a payment system verified there (e.g., PayPal). To authorize a payment via Google Pay of more than €25, you must first unlock your mobile device using the verification method configured (e.g., facial recognition, password, fingerprint, or pattern).

For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provided during the ordering process, along with information about your order, will be passed on to Google. Google then transmits your payment information stored in Google Pay to the originating website in the form of a unique transaction number, which is used to verify a successful payment. 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 one-time, valid numeric token.

11) Retargeting/remarketing and conversion tracking

11.1 Meta Pixel with advanced data comparison

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

If a user clicks on an ad placed by us on Facebook or Instagram, a parameter is added to the URL of our linked page using "Meta Pixel." This URL parameter is then entered into the user's browser after redirection via a cookie set by our linked page. Furthermore, this cookie records specific customer data, such as the email address, which we collect on our website linked to the Facebook or Instagram ad during transactions such as purchases, account registrations, or registrations (extended data matching). The cookie is then read and enables the transmission of the data, including the specific customer data, to Meta.

We use "Meta Pixel" with advanced data matching to make our advertisements (so-called "ads") on Facebook and/or Instagram more effective and to ensure that they correspond to the interests of users or have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined based on the websites visited) that we transmit to Meta (so-called "custom audiences").

In addition, we analyze the effectiveness of our ads by tracking whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on an ad (conversion). Compared to the standard "Meta Pixel" variant, the enhanced data matching feature helps us better measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns by tracking more attributed conversions.

All transmitted data is stored and processed by Meta so that it can be assigned to the respective user profile and Meta can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with Meta's data usage guidelines ( https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/ ). The data may enable Meta 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 express consent in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of 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, which ensures the protection of the data of our website visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

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

11.2 Google Ads Remarketing

This website uses retargeting technology from the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland

Further data processing only takes place if you have agreed to Google linking your internet and app browsing history to your Google account and using information from your Google account to personalize ads that you view on the web. In this case, if you are logged into Google while visiting our website, Google will use your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define target group lists for cross-device remarketing. To do this, Google will temporarily link your personal data to Google Analytics data in order to create target groups. When using Google Ads Remarketing, personal data may also be transferred to Google LLC servers 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 express consent in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of GDPR. Without this consent, retargeting technology will not be used during your visit to the website.

You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please deactivate this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

11.3 Google Ads Conversion Tracking

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

We use Google Ads to draw attention to our attractive offers using advertising materials (so-called Google Adwords) on external websites. Based on the data from the advertising campaigns, we can determine the success of individual advertising measures. This allows us to show you advertising that is of interest to you, make our website more interesting for you, and ensure a fair calculation of the advertising costs incurred.

The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an Ads ad placed 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. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers. The information obtained using 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 with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.

When using Google Ads, personal data may also be transferred to Google LLC servers in the USA.

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

You can also 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

In order to target users whose data we have received as part of business or business-like relationships with even more tailored advertising, we use a customer matching function within Google Ads. For this purpose, we transmit one or more files with aggregated customer data (primarily email addresses and telephone numbers) electronically to Google. Google does not receive access to clear data, but 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 assign it to existing Google accounts that the data subjects have set up. This enables personalized advertising to be displayed across all Google services linked to the respective Google account.

Customer data will only be transferred to Google if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke this consent at any time with future effect. Further information on Google's data protection measures regarding the Customer Match feature can be found here: https://support.google.com /google-ads /answer /6334160 ?hl=de &ref_topic=10550182

11.4 Google Ads conversion tracking without cookies

This website uses Google Ads Conversion Tracking exclusively without the use of cookies, which means that the service never places cookies on your device.

Instead, your browser's local storage is used to store a unique ID assigned by Google, which enables an analysis of your website usage. For this purpose, certain user information is processed via the ID.

The ID is set when a user clicks on an Ads ad served by Google. If the user visits certain pages of this website, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to that page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers. The information collected in this way is used to compile 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 with a conversion tracking tag.

However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. When using Google Ads, personal data may also be transferred to Google LLC's servers in the USA. Details on the processing initiated by Google Ads Conversion Tracking and how Google handles data from websites can be found here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

If the information collected is personal, it will be processed in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the statistical evaluation of the success of our advertising campaigns.

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 using advertising materials (so-called Google Adwords) on external websites. 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 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 cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google Ads. 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. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to compile 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 with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. When using Google Ads, personal data may also be transferred to Google LLC servers in the USA.

11.6 Google Marketing Platform

This website uses the online marketing tool Google Marketing Platform operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("GMP").

GMP uses cookies to display ads relevant to users, improve campaign performance reports, or prevent a user from seeing the same ads multiple times. Google uses a cookie ID to record which ads are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed multiple times. Cookie IDs also allow GMP to record conversions related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a GMP ad and later visits the advertiser's website using the same browser and makes a purchase through that website. According to Google, GMP cookies do not contain any personal information.
Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Google server.

We have no influence on the extent and further use of the data collected through the use of this tool by Google and therefore inform you according to our current state of knowledge as follows: By integrating GMP, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on one of our advertisements. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider will find out and save your IP address. When using GMP, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC in the USA.

The privacy policy of GMP by Google can be found here: https://business.safety.google /intl /de /privacy / and https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/

Because Monotype's compensation for providing fonts is calculated based on the individual traffic volume of the website, the user's IP address is recorded via a tracking code when a page is accessed and transmitted to the server host of this website for counting.

To ensure that an action is performed by a human and not an automated bot, the provider collects the IP address of the device used, identification data of the browser and operating system type used, as well as the date and duration of the visit, and transmits this to the provider's servers for evaluation. Cookies, i.e. small text files stored in the browser of the device, may be used for this purpose.

If the processing described above is based on cookies, these will only be set if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect by deactivating this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

If the processing described above is carried out without the use of cookies, the legal basis is our legitimate interest in determining individual responsibility on the Internet and avoiding misuse and spam in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

With the help of ShopSync, the newsletter service “Mailchimp” is synchronized with our Shopify account in such a way that, on the one hand, updates in Mailchimp email lists (such as an opt-out of a newsletter recipient) are automatically stored on Shopify and, on the other hand, new contact data generated through contract conclusions on Shopify are automatically transferred to the Mailchimp email lists.

In the first case, data processing takes place in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the effective and cross-system maintenance of the files of advertising recipients and the efficient observation of legally significant status changes.

In the second case, after the conclusion of a contract on Shopify for inclusion in the Mailchimp list, the user's first and last name, address and email address together with transaction-related information (purchase amount, time and date of purchase) will be transferred to Mailchimp by ShopSync exclusively on the basis of the user's express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

ShopSync does not store or retain any data transferred this way after synchronization. All information synchronized between Shopify and Mailchimp is transmitted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology, and all transferred information remains encrypted during the synchronization process.

The synchronization process requires the transmission of information over a secure connection to servers hosted by Amazon Web Services in the United States.

Further data protection information about ShopSync can be found here: https://www.shop-sync.com/privacy-policy
