"Hacked", people use this term way too often. If I create a card for Wingstop through Privacy, it's locked to that merchant. So nobody can use it on Amazon or anywhere else, not even Privacy themselves! This is in addition to cards easily being created or deleted instantly.
Yes, that's the entire point. Privacy has my payment info to complete transactions, just like any merchant would. But now, I never again have to provide my real name, email, phone number, or address, no matter who I purchase from online. I've "signed up" to local restaurants with 123 Fake Street and the transaction goes through...
