Are there any FOSS alternatives to privacy.com? I want to conceal my actual card information when registering with a new account on different platforms so I can create limits, but I can't shake the feeling that privacy.com probably just sells my transaction history. If there's any alternatives to privacy.com that are more transparent, I'd love to know!

that implies you can use crypto without being identified at any step of the way?

...no? It just means that they don't necessarily know every little detail about you before you start using their service. What comes afterwards is up to whoever wants to track you. Most crypto currencies are pseudo anonymous at best.
