 7.3 Use of payment service providers (payment services)

  • Apple Pay

 If you choose the "Apple Pay" payment method from Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, payment processing takes place via the "Apple Pay" function of your device operated with iOS, watchOS, or macOS by charging a payment card stored with "Apple Pay". Apple Pay uses security features integrated into the hardware and software of your device to protect your transactions. Therefore, for the release of a payment, the entry of a code previously defined by you as well as verification via the "Face ID" or "Touch ID" function of your device is required.

For the purpose of payment processing, the information provided by you during the ordering process as well as information about your order is transmitted 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 carry 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 as well as a transaction-specific, dynamic security code to the originating website to confirm the payment success.

Insofar as personal data is processed during the described transmissions, the processing takes place 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 completed successfully. Personal reference is completely excluded by anonymization. Apple uses the anonymized data to improve "Apple Pay" and other Apple products and services.

When you use Apple Pay on the iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase you made via Safari on the Mac, the Mac and the 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 can identify you. You can deactivate the ability to use Apple Pay on your Mac in your iPhone settings. Go to "Wallet & Apple Pay" and deactivate "Allow Payments on Mac".
