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

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.

The app and service provided works great when it works. When it doesn't, you better buckle up for an experience. Customer support is only available via email, and the responses tend to be repetitive and not ever truly fix the issues. I've been using it for years and I can say they offer a great service BUT I wish they would provide more self-help options on their website for issues instead of the pitiful customer support they offer.

I truly do love this app. However, as of recently, I seem to run into issues with the whole system. What happens when the Privacy card is used and specially with a primary merchant, the system does charge my account and then all of a sudden Privacy groups those payments and don't remove the first charges, so then in my back account it shows all those uses and then the grouped payments and I get doubled charge showing. So sometimes my account goes in the negative and then I wait for it to back.
