Removing email from payment details.

I've just bought something using ApplePay on my Mac Mini. I selected ApplePay and the primary card and completed the transaction on my iPhone 13 using FaceID and double clicking the power button. The payment went through ok and I had a transaction reference.


The product was a digital key code. I've not received the code or a confirmation email but the money has left my bank account.


I checked my phone and the payment details and confirmed an expected email address. The vendor said that's not the address we've got from ApplePay.


I dug a bit and found that on my Mac in the Wallet & Apple Pay section, the payment details email was an old work email address. I have no idea how that got into there (my work address is also available for selection as the Shipping Address).


I guess Apple's been 'clever' and found these details. Where are they stored and how can I delete them? My payment details are all as I expect them to be on my iPhone which is where I actioned the transaction and yet now my digital code and confirmation email have been sent to my former employer who I hope has deleted that account.


How can I remove my old work email address and shipping address?

Merchants are entitled to limited information when an online purchase is made including email address. Federal regulations and bank rules require the merchant have a means of contacting the buyer if an issue arises with the transaction.


Apple does not sell your personal information or have access to the encrypted information in your Wallet app. As part of the provisioning of your card for adding to electronic wallets that email contact information and billing address be verified and added to electronic wallets.


Apple Wallet is in compliance with federal and bank regulations. The data is encrypted on your device and Apple does not have access to the key to decrypt the information.
