In this case, your data will only be passed on for the purpose of payment processing with the provider and only to the extent that it is necessary for this purpose.
– Apple Pay
If you select the “Apple Pay” payment method from Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, payment will be 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 functions that are built into the hardware and software of your device to protect your transactions. To authorise a payment, it is therefore necessary to enter a code you have previously defined and verify it using the “Face ID” or “Touch ID” function on your device.
For the purpose of payment processing, the data you provide during the order process and information about your order will be transmitted to Apple in encrypted form. Apple then encrypts this data again with a developer-specific key before the data is transmitted to the payment service provider of the payment card stored in Apple Pay for payment processing. The encryption ensures that only the website from which the purchase was made can access the payment information. Once the payment has been made, Apple sends the account number of your device and a transaction-specific dynamic security code to the website from which the payment originated to confirm it.
If personal data is processed during the described transfers, the processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
Apple stores anonymised transaction data, including the approximate amount of the purchase, the approximate date and time and whether the transaction was successfully completed. The anonymisation completely excludes any personal reference. Apple uses the anonymised 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 via Safari on your Mac, the Mac and the authorisation device communicate via an encrypted channel on Apple’s servers. Apple does not process or store this information in a format that can identify you personally. You can disable the ability to use Apple Pay on your Mac in the iPhone settings. Go to “Wallet & Apple Pay” and disable “Allow payments on Mac”.
Further information on data protection with Apple Pay can be found at the following Internet address: https://support.apple.com

To authorise a payment via Google Pay of more than €25, your mobile device must first be unlocked using the relevant verification measure (e.g. facial recognition, password, fingerprint or pattern).
For the purpose of payment processing, the data you provide during the order process will be forwarded to Google together with the information about your order. Google then transmits your payment information stored in Google Pay in the form of a unique transaction number to the originating website, which is used to verify a payment. This transaction number does not contain any information about the actual payment details of your payment method stored in 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 processing the payment transaction. The transaction takes place exclusively in the relationship between the user and the source website by debiting the payment method stored with Google Pay.
If personal data is processed during the described transfers, the processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
Google reserves the right to collect, store and analyse certain transaction-specific information for each transaction made via Google Pay. This includes the date, time and amount of the transaction, the location and description of the merchant, a description provided by the merchant of the goods or services purchased, photos you have attached to the transaction, the name and email address of the seller and the buyer or the sender and the recipient, the payment method used, your description of the reason for the transaction and, if applicable, the offer associated with the transaction.
According to Google, this processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of the 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 combine the processed transaction data with other information collected and stored by Google when using other Google services.
