Our Terms of Use & Privacy Policy: Apple Wallet only accepts a card signed with our certificate. The app therefore builds the card on your device and sends only checksums of the card's files, encrypted, to our server in Germany (HostEurope) – texts, barcodes and images never leave your device. Only as a fallback, for example on devices without Apple App Attest, is the card itself sent encrypted and deleted from the server straight after signing.
