When you use Apple Pay on your iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase you initiated via Safari on your Mac, your Mac and the authorization device communicate with Apple’s servers via an encrypted channel. Apple does not process or store any of this information in a format that can be used to identify you personally. You can disable the ability to use Apple Pay on your Mac in your iPhone’s Settings.
