I can't imagine doing online transactions without this. WIth a couple of clicks, every vendor you buy from has a unique account, strictly controlled spending limits, and the ability to do so privately.
by Doug O., 2025-03-01

Privacy is so clutch. I do online transactions through many different services like paying my bills, shopping, streaming, and other recurring subscriptions. I've had suspicious activity on my cards a couple different times, and some credit cards have refused to reimburse me the fraudulent activity! Not only can it cost a ton of money if someone gets a hold of my credit card information, it is also an enormous pain to go update all those different places with a new card. Privacy allows me to set up a vendor-locked digital card for every different place I need a card, or a one-time card that will never be able to be used again - meaning I limit the possible impact of my information being leaked. Not only that, but they also provide spending limits so even if someone gets my card information AND happens to use it at the correct vendor, they won't be able to spend my money! No one should be putting their credit card information anywhere online unless they use Privacy!

Privacy.com is a game-changer for online privacy and security. The service offers disposable card numbers that make managing subscriptions and protecting your financial information a breeze. It's incredibly user-friendly, with intuitive controls for setting spending limits and pausing cards. Plus, the ability to generate cards instantly for one-time purchases adds an extra layer of security, giving me peace of mind every time I shop online. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enhance their digital financial safety.
