8.3 Use of Payment Service Providers
Apple Pay
If you choose the “Apple Pay” payment method offered by 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 integrated into your device's hardware and software to protect your transactions. To authorise a payment, you are therefore required to enter a code previously specified by you and verify the payment using the “Face ID” or “Touch ID” function of your device.
For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provide during the ordering process, together with information about your order, is transmitted to Apple in encrypted form. Apple then encrypts this data again using a developer-specific key before the data is transmitted to the payment service provider of the payment card stored in Apple Pay for payment processing. The encryption ensures that only the website through which the purchase was made can access the payment data.
Once payment has been made, Apple sends your device account number and a transaction-specific dynamic security code to the originating website to confirm successful payment.
Where personal data is processed as part of the transmissions described above, such processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
Apple retains anonymised transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, approximate date and time and information on 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.
If you use Apple Pay on an iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase made via Safari on a Mac, the Mac and the authorising 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 disable “Allow Payments on Mac”.
Further information on data protection for Apple Pay can be found on Apple's support website.

In order to safeguard our legitimate interest in determining your ability to pay in such cases, we transmit this data to the provider for the purpose of a credit check pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Based on the personal data provided by you and other data (such as shopping cart, invoice amount, order history and payment history), the provider checks whether the payment option you have selected can be granted with regard to payment and/or default risks.

Where score values are included in the result of the credit report, they are based on a scientifically recognised mathematical-statistical procedure. The calculation of score values includes, among other things but not exclusively, address data.
You may object to this processing of your data at any time by sending a message to us or to the provider. However, the provider may remain entitled to process your personal data where this is necessary for contractual payment processing.
