By creating a unique virtual account number for your payment information, your name and full card details are never shown in the app and never shared with the store. Google stores your payment information on secure servers and encrypts it with industry-standard SSL (secure socket layer) technology. If your phone is ever lost or stolen you can easily find, lock and erase your phone using
Android Device Manager.
In order to use Android Pay, we require that you set up a secure Android device lock which can be a pin, password or pattern.
