I ended up creating a “my data” account. I am curious what MC has been collecting across my 2 MC branded cards (one of them is an Apple Card which advertises protecting user privacy). Once I get back that report will be requesting deletion.

I requested the personal information they have about me related to a Maestro debit card I use as my main debit card, and the result was: "We did not find matching results for you!". I am in EU.

Apple will hate if this blows up with a headline of "Apple card users spending data being sold"

  Neither the EFF or PIRG mention Apple Card. I was under the impression that Apple had taken measures to prevent exactly this kind of information from being leaked from Apple Card use. That is, beyond rotation of card numbers whenever Apple Pay is used. Knowing Apple has put an emphasis on customer privacy, and that Apple Card is run on Mastercard makes zero mention of it in either article kind of stand out to me. It would be great to get clarification on what the scope is of Apple Card customer exposure to Mastercard’s commercialization of payment data.

    I'm not familiar with Apple Card, but aren't all privacy measures only point-of-sale facing? As in, you pay with a random card number and the shop can't track you, but Mastercard obviously still has a record on you. So unless Apple is a middleman able to issue Mastercards on their own behalf(?) for their customers, I don't see how much more privacy they can offer.
