All you're doing is shifting the burden, there's no guarantee they won't (or already are) doing something similar

  Not looking for a guarantee, selling your info will defeat the entire purpose of their business, that's good enough for me. And by law, if they do so, they have to disclose it.

    -They- may not sell the data but the Visa API services they use under the hood sure do, so it is a bit moot.
    • _8j50 3y ago
      It's not moot because they anonymize the merchant and payment information prior to that api (mastercard not visa).

        Timing and location data combined with data from various "data enrichment" firms make short work of de-anonymizing this in most cases I am sure.

          You can create burner cards that are single use or cards dedicated to a merchant. As far as timing and location data you don' need visa or mastercard for that, but any information visa or master card can share with third parties would be specific to a merchant.
