Online shopping has become particularly popular in recent years, especially during the quarantine period, as it is convenient and we don't even have to leave the house to do it.
However, the internet often poses risks to users' personal and financial information, especially when making online purchases.
However, there is an easy way to protect purchases, and it is none other than using a virtual card.
A website called Privacy provides free virtual cards that can protect the user's personal information and make all online purchases 100% secure.
If a user makes a purchase from an online store, Privacy allows them to pay for the things they purchased without ever revealing their real credit card details.
Privacy's virtual cards also hide other sensitive data, like your name and billing address, so you won't have to worry about companies selling your personal information to third parties.
The user can also use it for subscriptions. If someone signs up for a free trial streaming, they can simply deactivate the virtual card before the trial period ends and the subscription will not be able to renew automatically.
The user can also set limits on the amount that a subscription service can charge their virtual card each month, so there is no risk of the price increasing without them knowing.
It only takes a few minutes to install Privacy as a browser extension on Google Chrome , and once set up, you can create virtual cards with a single click, and it also has a mobile app.
Privacy is compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), which means it adheres to the same security standards as all major banks. Sensitive information such as credit card numbers and home addresses are protected using split-key encryption, meaning no employee has access to personal information.
