Add-on summary

Stop exposing your credit or debit card information and protect your online payments from hackers and fraudsters with Privacy. Join over 200,000+ users that have saved millions of dollars by using Privacy to mask your true bank account and card information online, and block unwanted charges and subscriptions.

Download the Privacy add-on to quickly autofill unique, secure card numbers directly into checkout pages where traditional credit and debit cards are accepted. No more needing to get up and fish for your wallet at inconvenient times. No more memorizing a dozen card numbers. Simply use the browser extension and checkout in one click.

With Privacy, you can:

- Shield your true financial information: Privacy masks your debit card or bank account number to help protect you from card theft and fraud. Pay with greater privacy and security anytime.

- Take control of your subscriptions: Pause and close cards whenever you want, giving you complete control over who can charge your card and when.

- Create merchant-locked and one-time use cards: Our cards automatically “lock” to the first merchant they are used at, so if the merchant is ever breached, the card number can never be used anywhere else. You can also create one-time use cards that automatically close after a single transaction.

Sorry, dont trust the necessary permissions.

This product is great. PRIVACY resolved a merchant charge I disputed. The PRIVACY team got my money back (I am using a free account). PRIVACY has also blocked and saved me from sneaky free trials that tried to bill me. What PRIVACY is doing for me in the background is, they are protecting my real account info from hackers and online data breaches. PRIVACY isn't perfect, but in my opinion, it's as close to perfection you are going to get when shopping online. All of sudden, shopping online is safer with PRIVACY.
