9.5 Use of payment service providers (payment services)
- Apple Pay
If you choose the payment method "Apple Pay" of Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, payment processing takes place via the "Apple Pay" function of your end device operated with iOS, watchOS or macOS by charging a payment card stored with "Apple Pay". Apple Pay uses security features integrated into your device's hardware and software to protect your transactions. To authorize a payment, it is therefore necessary to enter a code previously defined by you and to verify it using the "Face ID" or "Touch ID" function of your end device.
For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provide during the ordering process, together with the 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 and a transaction-specific, dynamic security code to the originating website to confirm the success of the payment.
If personal data is processed during the described transmissions, the processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
Apple retains anonymized transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, the approximate date and approximate time, and whether the transaction was successfully completed. Through anonymization, any personal reference is completely excluded. 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 you made via Safari on Mac, the Mac and the authorization device communicate via an encrypted channel on Apple servers. Apple does not process or store any of this information in a format that can identify you personally. 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".
Further information on data protection with Apple Pay can be found at the following internet address: https://support.apple.com/de-de/HT203027
- Google Pay
If you choose the payment method "Google Pay" of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"), payment processing takes place via the "Google Pay" application on your mobile end device operated with at least Android 4.4 ("KitKat") and equipped with an NFC function by charging a payment card stored with Google Pay or a payment system verified there (e.g. PayPal). To authorize a payment via Google Pay in the amount of more than 25,- €, it is necessary to unlock your mobile end device beforehand using the verification measure set up in each case (such as facial recognition, password, fingerprint or pattern).
For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provide during the ordering process together with the information about your order is passed on to Google. Google then transmits your payment information stored in Google Pay to the originating website in the form of a uniquely assigned transaction number, which is used to verify that a payment has been made. This transaction number contains no information whatsoever about the actual payment data of your payment methods stored in Google Pay, but is created and transmitted as a one-time valid numerical token. For all transactions via Google Pay, Google acts only as an intermediary for processing the payment. The transaction is carried out exclusively in the relationship between the user and the originating website by charging the payment method stored in Google Pay.
If personal data is processed during the described transmissions, 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 evaluate certain transaction-specific information for each transaction made via Google Pay. This includes the date, time and amount of the transaction, merchant 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 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of the legitimate interest in proper accounting, verification of transaction data and optimization and maintenance of the functionality of the Google Pay service.
Google also reserves the right to merge the processed transaction data with other information collected and stored by Google when using other Google services.
