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 is carried out via the "Apple Pay" function of your device running iOS, watchOS or macOS by debiting a payment card stored in "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 using the "Face ID" or "Touch ID" function of your device.

For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provided during the ordering process, together with information about your order, is 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 to carry out the payment. The encryption ensures that only the website through which the purchase was made can access the payment data. After payment is made, Apple sends your device account number and a transaction-specific, dynamic security code to the originating website to confirm the payment was successful.

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

Apple retains anonymized transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, approximate date and time, and whether the transaction was completed successfully. Through anonymization, a personal reference is completely excluded. 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 you made through Safari on your Mac, your 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 can identify you. You can disable the ability to use Apple Pay on your Mac in your iPhone settings. Go to "Wallet & Apple Pay" and turn off "Allow Payments on Mac."

Further information on data protection at Apple Pay can be found at support.apple.com/en-us/HT203027.
