The transmission of your data in this case is solely for the purpose of processing payments with the provider and only to the extent necessary for this.

- Apple Pay

If you opt for the payment method "Apple Pay" from Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, the payment processing is carried out through the "Apple Pay" function of your device operated with iOS, watchOS, or macOS by charging a payment card stored with "Apple Pay." Apple Pay uses security features integrated into the hardware and software of your device to protect your transactions. To authorize a payment, you must enter a previously set code and verify using the "Face ID" or "Touch ID" function of your device.

For payment processing, your information provided during the ordering process along with your order details is transmitted in encrypted form to Apple. Apple then re-encrypts this data with a developer-specific key before sending it to the payment service provider of the payment card stored in Apple Pay to process the payment. The encryption ensures that only the website through which the purchase was made can access the payment data. After the payment is completed, Apple sends your device account number and a transaction-specific, dynamic security code to the originating website to confirm the payment success.

If personal data is processed in the described transmissions, the processing occurs solely for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

Apple retains anonymized transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, approximate date and time, and an indication of whether the transaction was successfully completed. Anonymization completely excludes any personal reference. Apple uses the anonymized data to improve "Apple Pay" and other Apple products and services.

If you use Apple Pay on the iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase made through Safari on the Mac, the Mac and the authorization device communicate over a secure channel on Apple servers. Apple does not process or store any of this information in a format that can identify you. You can disable the option to use Apple Pay on your Mac in the settings of your iPhone. Go to "Wallet & Apple Pay" and disable "Allow payments on Mac."
