It is possible to pay with Google Pay as bank customer such as with f,.e. Rabobank, ABN Amro, Bunq, N26 and Revolut. This allows you to make contactless purchases in stores without a debit card. But what data is being shared with Google? Google receives data from your bank about the transaction that is required for Google Pay. Google may use it for other purposes and share it with third parties. Google is the data controller for which you give informed consent.When you use Google Pay, certain activities and information you store (such as transactions, your payment methods, shipping addresses, and loyalty cards) are stored in your Google Account. If you enable personalization within Google Pay, this data and additional information (such as the location where you made a purchase) will also be stored and used to personalize the functionality of Google Pay for you. Google Pay also works if you turn this setting off. Your activities and data that you save will still be stored to provide the service to you, but not for personalization. For example, you can still pay contactless, but the offers you see may be less relevant. Turning this setting on or off won’t affect how your purchases are stored and used in other Google services (such as apps you buy on Play or movies you rent on YouTube).
