8.2 Use of Payment Service Providers

- Apple Pay

If you choose the "Apple Pay" payment method from Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, payment is processed via the "Apple Pay" function of your device running iOS, watchOS or macOS, by charging a payment card stored in "Apple Pay". Apple Pay uses security features built into the hardware and software of your device to protect your transactions. To authorize a payment, you must enter a code you have previously set as well as verify using the "Face ID" or "Touch ID" function of your device.

For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provided during the order 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 it 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 and a transaction-specific dynamic security code to the originating website to confirm that the payment was successful.

Insofar as personal data is processed in the transmissions described, this is done 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. Anonymization fully rules out any reference to a specific person. 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 via Safari on a Mac, the Mac and the authorizing device communicate over 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's settings. Go to "Wallet & Apple Pay" and disable "Allow Payments on Mac".

To authorize a Google Pay payment of more than €25, you must first unlock your mobile device using the verification method set up (such as facial recognition, password, fingerprint or pattern).

For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provided during the order process, together with information about your order, is transmitted to Google. Google then transmits your payment information stored in Google Pay in the form of a one-time transaction number to the originating website, which is used to verify that payment has been made. This transaction number contains no information about the actual payment details of the payment method stored in Google Pay, but is generated and transmitted as a one-time valid numeric token. In all transactions via Google Pay, Google acts merely as an intermediary for processing the payment. The transaction is carried out exclusively between the user and the originating website by charging the payment method stored in Google Pay.

Insofar as personal data is processed in the transmissions described, this is done exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Google reserves the right to collect, store and evaluate certain transaction-specific information for every transaction made via Google Pay. This includes the date, time and amount of the transaction, the merchant's location and description, a description of the purchased goods or services provided by the merchant, photos you attached to the transaction, the name and email address of the seller and buyer or sender and 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 in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of the legitimate interest in proper invoicing, verification of transaction data, and the optimization and functional maintenance of the Google Pay service.

Google also reserves the right to combine the processed transaction data with additional information collected and stored by Google in connection with the use of other Google services.
