To authorise a payment via Google Pay of more than €25, it is necessary to unlock your mobile device beforehand using the verification measure 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 order process along with the information about your order is transmitted to Google. Google then forwards 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 completed 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 unique numerical token. For all transactions via Google Pay, Google only acts as an intermediary for the processing of the payment process. The execution of 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.

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

Google reserves the right to collect, store and analyse certain transaction-related 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 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 for the purpose of 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 Google's legitimate interest in proper accounting, the verification of transaction data and the optimisation and maintenance of the functionality of the Google Pay service.

Google also reserves the right to merge the processed transaction data with other information collected and stored by Google when using other Google services.

13. Tools and miscellaneous

Cookie consent tool

This website uses a so-called “cookie consent tool” to obtain effective user consents for cookies requiring consent and cookie-based applications. The “cookie consent tool” is displayed to users when they access the page in the form of an interactive user interface, on which consent can be given for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications by ticking a box. By using the tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded when the respective user gives corresponding consent by ticking the box. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the respective end device of the user if consent has been given.

The tool sets technically necessary cookies in order to store your cookie preferences. Personal user data is generally not processed in this context.

If, in individual cases, personal data (such as the IP address) is nevertheless processed for the purpose of storing, assigning or logging cookie settings, this is done in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific and user-friendly consent management for cookies and therefore in a legally compliant design of our online presence.

Another legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR. As the controller, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user consent.

Where necessary, we have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our site visitors and prohibits unauthorised disclosure to third parties.
