Are there any FOSS alternatives to privacy.com? I want to conceal my actual card information when registering with a new account on different platforms so I can create limits, but I can’t shake the feeling that privacy.com probably just sells my transaction history. If there’s any alternatives to privacy.com that are more transparent, I’d love to know!

Other than crypto or cash based prepaid debit cards. There is no other service that will allow you to do financial transactions without doing basic KYC and keeping a record of your transactions required by law in almost all countries. They may claim it’s for legal reasons only and they don’t sell it but can you trust them? And how much do you trust your government to respect your privacy and not subpoena those transactions because they deem them to be unlawful.
