    Privacy.com.

    I’ve been using their service for years and I advocate it whenever I can. You link their service to a bank account and then generate throw away credit card numbers which one used deduct the balance directly from your checking account.

    You can set spending limits on the virtual cards, you can make them one time use only, and you can make them lock themselves to a vendor so even if someone steals that credit card number they can’t use it.

    I very highly recommend using their service to protect yourself using online payment systems.

    As far as obfuscating your purchase history, that’s kind of part of the territory. That information will always be available to your banking institution and if so facto, the government…

        You understand that you have the freedom to…not use their services, right?

      No offense, but none of your research is valuable if you’re too stupid to look up the moderators in a community you’re a guest in.

      You reported me to myself, and I’m the owner of the instance. So thanks for your work in the area of privacy but we’re going to do our own research, you insipid cow.
