About this app

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.

Ratings and reviews

Great app but don't use if you need to check your balance. I was trying to pay for something and it wouldn't go through so I looked at the app to see how much I had left and you can't check your balance or add money. I had to drive home go onto my desktop PC and then I saw I was short just $2 would have been nice to check balance and add money at the time instead of having to drive home to add money.

New UI design. Dark mode finally. But instead of a fast, simple, compact UI, it wastes screen space, has transition animations straight out of 2010, and it's super laggy (>1 s from tap to response). The icons for things like the pause button are too small. Dark mode lacks edge indications so I have to run the new UI on light mode anyway. Overall a massive design failure. Bring back the old UI. At least it worked correctly.

Edit: I'm dropping the review for now. The new app seems more limited, I do not see a way to change the card it runs on or a help section to find that information. Absolutely amazing. I no longer fear putting cards on websites. I save it to a merchant and someone gets the number from a breach, they can't use it anywhere else. I can then shutdown the card the first time I see an unfamiliar charge declined.
