App summary

Stop exposing your credit or debit card information and protect your online payments with Privacy. Join over 250,000 users who have saved millions of dollars by using Privacy to block unwanted charges from compromised cards, overcharging, hidden fees, and forgotten subscriptions.

Getting started with Privacy is simple: create your account, verify your information, securely link your bank account or debit card, and request your first virtual card. Start shopping and enjoy the added layer of protection Privacy provides to protect you from payment card theft and fraud.

Benefits:
- Shield your true financial information: Our Privacy Cards mask your debit card or bank account number to help protect you from card theft and fraud. Pay with greater privacy and security anytime, anywhere on desktop or on mobile.

- Create merchant-locked and one-time-use cards: Our cards automatically "lock" to the first merchant they are used at, so if the merchant is ever breached, the card number can never be used anywhere else. You can also create one-time-use cards that automatically close after a single transaction.

- Take complete control over your spending: Set customizable spending limits to prevent overcharging and block hidden fees—perfect for managing subscriptions and recurring expenses. If a transaction goes over the limit, we will automatically decline it.

- Leverage real-time transaction monitoring: Receive notifications any time a Privacy Card is used. Easily pause, unpause, and close Privacy Cards any time with just one push of a button.

Privacy’s core product is free to use on domestic transactions, because, like other card companies, we collect transaction fees from merchants. Privacy Cards can be used at most merchants that accept credit and debit cards.

The security of our users’ personal information and data is critical to everything that we do at Privacy. You can review our security policies at https://privacy.com/security.

I've used this for quite a while now, and have enjoyed it. But today specifically, one of my online accounts got hacked, and they attempted to use the card connected to it. Luckily, it had restrictions on it, and they couldn't do anything with it. Which resulted in me not needing to have an extremely long call with my bank to MAYBE get my money back within 6 months. Love this service so much, and can't give it enough praise.

I have been using the app ever since my coworker recommended it for me. I had trouble configuring my debit card account recently, but their customer support is amazing and got me going again. I love the option to create virtual cards for specific needs, that is the only reason why I use this app. Update: 11/6/24 I have been using the app for 1 time card purchases and it has been a breeze, no problems with purchases. Definitely recommend.

Get this! Even if you do not find that you use it regularly, which is highly unlikely after you try it for a while, this will save your skin and provide peace of mind. We have all found that one item that we want but do not trust that the vendor is safe, so we skip it. This allows you to take the risk but ONLY risk the value that you set. There are MANY more use cases, but the safety layer added to my purchases is irreplaceable. I use the premium, but free works for most people.
