Privacy.com Virtual Credit Cards

Take Back Control of Your Payments

Privacy Cards give you control when you purchase online, make a one-time payment, or subscribe. You decide who can charge your card, how much, and how often, and you can pause or close a card anytime.


Create virtual payment cards for one-time purchases or subscriptions directly from your browser. Set spend limits, pause, unpause, and close cards whenever you choose.

Take Control of Your Online Payments

  • Protect Yourself Online – Create virtual payment cards for each place you shop instead of using your regular debit or credit card.
  • Convenient and Easy to Use – Save time at checkout with our browser extension. Create and auto-fill secure card numbers at checkout with a one-click experience. –
  • Create Merchant Locked Cards — Privacy Cards lock to the first merchant they are used at. If the merchant is compromised, your card number can never be used anywhere else.
  • Monitor Your Spending — Create a Spending Limit on each card to block hidden fees and double charges on recurring expenses. If a transaction goes over the limit, it will automatically decline.

How It Works – Take back control of your payments in simple steps.

  • You can create up to 12 unique virtual cards per month with one click directly from your Privacy dashboard or browser extension.
  • Merchant-locked cards – All Virtual Privacy Cards lock to the first place you use them
  • Single-use cards – Create virtual cards. Use a virtual card. Close virtual card.
  • Spending limits – Help monitor spending & reduce unwanted costs
  • Pause / Close cards – Stop incoming transactions with just a click
  • Organize your virtual cards in one easy-to-use wallet. Tag each card for quick sorting and selection.
  • Track your spending in the Account Summary dashboard.
  • Mobile App & Browser Extension – iOS / Android / Chrome / Firefox

A Personal Privacy account is free for everyone. Privacy’s core product will always be free.

  • How much does it cost to get started with Privacy? Nothing.
    • Well, how do you make money on transactions?
      • Every time you transact with a merchant using a Privacy Virtual Card, the merchant or website pays a small interchange fee, which we share.
