Is there something similar to privacy.com in Europe so I don’t have to enter my credit card information everywhere? Or another way to buy stuff online privately on many different stores and websites?

In Spain at least I have two small alternatives to this:

  • Paypal (I don’t like it too much, but it works fine).
  • A prepaid credit card offered through my bank. Good for sites that don’t look too trustworthy but I need to buy from. I just activate it, load it with whatever amount I need, I make the transaction, then disable it again. Even if it gets leaked no one can take any money out.

For everything else I have a virtual credit card number that’s not dynamic, but at least it’s something I use exclusively for online stuff.
