To deliver the best Apple Pay experience, we will share certain Card information with Apple, such as the unique digital number associated with your physical Card, the last four digits of your physical Card, and your most recent purchase information for each Card you selected to use with Apple Pay. At any time, you can turn off the display of purchase information manually within Apple Pay by adjusting the “Card Notifications” for each Card.
