Apple Pay uses security features integrated into your device's hardware and software to protect your transactions. Authorising a payment therefore requires entering a passcode previously set by you and verification using the \u201eFace ID\u201c or \u201eTouch ID\u201c function of your terminal device.<\/p>\n\n<p>For the purpose of payment processing, the information provided by you during the ordering process, along with the information about your order, is transmitted to Apple in encrypted form. Apple then encrypts this data once more using a developer-specific key before the data is transmitted to the payment service provider of the payment card stored in Apple Pay in order 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.<\/p>\n\n<p>Where personal data is processed in connection with the transmissions described, such processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.<\/p>\n\n<p>Apple retains anonymised transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, approximate date and time, and whether the transaction was successfully completed. Anonymisation completely removes any personal association. Apple uses the anonymised data to improve \u201eApple Pay\u201c and other Apple products and services.<\/p>\n\n<p>When you use Apple Pay on your iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase made via Safari on your Mac, the Mac and the authorisation device communicate through 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 personally identify you. You can disable the ability to use Apple Pay on your Mac in your iPhone settings.

To authorise a payment via Google Pay of more than \u20ac25, you must first unlock your mobile device using the configured verification method (such as facial recognition, password, fingerprint or pattern).<\/p>\n\n<p>For the purpose of payment processing, the information provided by you during the ordering process, along with the information about your order, is passed on to Google. Google then transmits your payment information stored in Google Pay in the form of a one-off transaction number to the originating website, which is used to verify that a payment has been made. This transaction number does not contain any information regarding the actual payment details of your payment instruments stored in Google Pay, but is generated and transmitted as a single-use numerical token. In all transactions via Google Pay, Google merely acts as an intermediary to process the payment process. The execution of the transaction takes place exclusively in the relationship between the user and the originating website by debiting the payment instrument stored with Google Pay.<\/p>\n\n<p>Where personal data is processed in connection with the transmissions described, such processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.<\/p>\n\n<p>Google reserves the right to collect, store and analyse certain transaction-specific information for every transaction carried out via Google Pay.

For this purpose, your payment data may be passed on to credit agencies in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of PayPal's legitimate interest in determining your solvency. PayPal uses the result of the credit assessment with regard to the statistical probability of payment default for the purpose of deciding on the provision of the respective payment method. The credit report may contain probability values (so-called score values). Insofar as score values are included in the result of the credit report, they are based on a scientifically recognised mathematical-statistical procedure. Address data, among other things, but not exclusively, are included in the calculation of the score values. You can object to this.<\/p>\n\n<p>Subject to availability and selection of the PayPal payment method \u201eBuy on invoice\u201c, your payment data will first be transmitted to PayPal in preparation for the payment, whereupon PayPal will forward this data to Ratepay GmbH, Franklinstra\u00dfe 28-29, 10587 Berlin (\u201eRatepay\") to process the payment.

Our aim in doing this is to show you advertising that is of interest to you, to make our website more interesting for you and to achieve a fair calculation of the advertising costs incurred.<\/p>\n\n<p>The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an ad served by Google.
