What data will Apple gather if I start using Apple Pay? (feddit.nl)

I have an iphone for work that I'm also allowed to use for personal stuff. I don't use it often, but it has a great camera and is a useful backup for 2FA if I would lose my primary (android) phone.

It also gives me the option to use Apple Pay. Paying with my android doesn't work, my bank's app is shitty. It would be useful to have an alternative for my bank card, so I was considering setting up Apple Pay.

But I wanted to know: what information will apple get if I use Apple Pay? Do they get the payment details of every payment I make? Will they know anything about payments I make with my card?

The best advice you will ever receive is to not use a company’s provided phone on personal affairs.

Thanks, that is good advice indeed. I don't work for a company and I trust the phone itself, but a very valid point.
