-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 agoIt's not moot because they anonymize the merchant and payment information prior to that api (mastercard not visa).
- lrvick 3y agoTiming and location data combined with data from various "data enrichment" firms make short work of de-anonymizing this in most cases I am sure.
- _8j50 3y agoYou 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.
