After the payment is made, 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 during the transfers described, the processing takes place exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

Apple retains anonymized transaction information, including the approximate purchase amount, the approximate date and time, and 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.

When you use Apple Pay on iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase made through Safari on Mac, the Mac and the authorization device communicate over 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 identify you. You can turn off the ability to use Apple Pay on your Mac in your iPhone's settings.

13.2Cookie consent tool

This website uses a so-called “cookie consent tool” to obtain effective user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. When you access the page, the “cookie consent tool” is displayed to you in the form of an interactive user interface on which you can give consent for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications by checking the box. By using the tool, all cookies/services requiring consent will only be loaded if you give the appropriate consent by checking the box. This ensures that such cookies are only placed on your device if you have given your consent.

The tool sets technically necessary cookies to save your cookie preferences. Personal user data is generally not processed here.

If, in individual cases, personal data (such as the IP address) is processed for the purpose of storing, assigning or logging cookie settings, this is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific and user-friendly consent management for cookies and therefore in a legally compliant design of our website.

Another legal basis for processing is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter c GDPR. As those responsible, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of cookies that are not technically necessary dependent on the respective user consent.

If necessary, we have concluded an order processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

Further information about the operator and the setting options for the cookie consent tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.
