If you choose 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 debiting a payment card stored with "Apple Pay". Apple Pay uses security features built into your device's hardware and software to protect your transactions. To authorise a payment, you must enter a code that you have previously set and verify your identity using the Face ID or Touch ID feature on your device.

For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provide during the ordering process, together with the 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 for the payment to be made. The encryption ensures that only the website through which the purchase was made can access the payment data. Once the payment has been made, Apple sends your device account number and a transaction-specific, dynamic security code to the originating website to confirm that the payment has been successful.

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

Apple stores anonymised transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, the approximate date and time, and whether the transaction was successfully completed. 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 you made using Safari on your Mac, your Mac and the authorisation 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 be used to identify you. 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.

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 one-time valid numerical token. For all transactions via Google Pay, Google acts solely as an intermediary for the processing of the payment transaction. The transaction is carried out exclusively between the user and the originating website by debiting the payment method stored in Google Pay .

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

Google reserves the right to collect, store and evaluate certain transaction-specific information for each transaction made via Google Pay.

According to Google, this processing is carried out exclusively in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of the legitimate interest in proper accounting, verification of transaction data and the optimisation and maintenance of the Google Pay service.
