Staying safe and secure with Google Pay

There are many ways Google Pay works to keep your debit and credit card details safe:

Protecting your privacy

• Each card you add gets a virtual account number that merchants see when you make a purchase. Your payment information isn’t shared with merchants.
• Your payment information is encrypted and stored on secure servers.

Staying secure

• You'll need to set up a screen lock on your device before you add cards. If you turn screen lock off, Google Pay removes your cards for your protection.
• If you make three consecutive payments without unlocking your phone, you'll be prompted to unlock your phone before you can make another.
• If your device has been turned off, lost, or otherwise inactive in the last 90 days, then cards will be deleted for your security.
