Yeah I was being a bit facetious I admit and I agree what you said is 100%. No data is safe these days and I guess I was trying to outline the fact that signing up to privacy.com is no different than signing up to a new banking institution. It's who and what you trust in the end and for what it's worth, privacy.com has a great concept and it would be a great option to use if trying to avoid personalcredit card scams and fraudulent activity.
Oh yeah, you're right on that. If I'm looking for privacy from the subscription manager signing up with a service like this is a terrible choice, because it is fully a financial institution.
