8.2 Use 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 is processed via the “Apple Pay” function of 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 must enter a code previously set by you and verify it using your device’s “Face ID” or “Touch ID” function.
For the purpose of payment processing, your information provided during the ordering process along with information about your order is forwarded to Apple in encrypted form. Apple then re-encrypts this data with a developer-specific key before the data is transmitted to the payment service provider of the payment card stored in Apple Pay to complete the payment. The encryption ensures that only the website where 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 original website to confirm the payment’s success.
If personal data is processed in the described transmissions, the processing is solely 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, approximate date and time, and whether the transaction was successfully completed. The anonymization completely excludes any personal reference. Apple uses the anonymized data to improve “Apple Pay” and other Apple products and services.
If you use Apple Pay on iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase made through Safari on Mac, the Mac and authorization device communicate via an encrypted channel on Apple’s servers. Apple does not process or store any of this information in a format that could identify you personally. You can disable the ability to use Apple Pay on your Mac in your iPhone settings. Go to “Wallet Apple Pay” and disable “Allow Payments on Mac”.
