Online Protections
When you go online, there are plenty of data harvesters who are after your information. Just take a look at Google or Intuit Mint. When you get a receipt in a Gmail account, Google adds it to a purchase database. And Mint uses all of your financial data to market to you within their app.
Apple Card does away with some of these threats. For one, it doesn’t support third-party financial apps like Mint — instead, financial health is done through the Wallet app. Apple Card numbers used for online transactions are also only semi-permanent, meaning you can request a new one if you feel like your privacy or security is in jeopardy.
