Does anyone have a good alternative to Privacy.com where your virtual credit card transaction data isn't sold to Wall Street? If you're unfamiliar with what a "virtual [credit] card" is here's the page from Privacy.com's website: https://privacy.com/virtual-card I use the Privacy app on my mobile phone to create virtual cards (primarily for work subscriptions). Pro-tip: since each Privacy card can have its own name put a tag such as `[WORK_RECURRING]` into the card name and then you can search your email inbox for `[WORK_RECURRING]`, quickly and easily finding all of the transactions / charges that you may want to submit to your workplace for reimbursement.

Privacy is owned / created by Lithic, but if you look at Lithic's investors you'll see that the plurality of the company's investors are in the private equity or VC space: Bessemer Ventures, Tusk Partner Ventures, Index Ventures, etc. You can see the Privacy.com / Privacy mobile app's funders here: https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/lithic-pay

Thus, I have no doubt that my transactions on cleverly-named Privacy app are being gifted or sold to Wall Street so that hedge funds can squeeze out a few addition drops of 'signal' from consumer purchase pattern data that would otherwise remain dark. (I'd imagine that many folks use the Privacy app to buy things that they'd rather not have show up on their regular credit card bills: 'adult websites', marijuana or tobacco products, etc.

So, two questions:

(1) Does anyone have a privacy-respecting alternative to Privacy.com's virtual credit cards?

(2) Does anyone know of a recent blog post where these virtual credit card services are compared / contrasted by

- the services that they offer, - the cost: free, paid, etc., - the terms of service: how your data is re-sold / who your data is transmitted to
