Privacy.com helps in terms of online payments. Generates credit card numbers that will accept any name or billing address when charged.

Unfortunately it's available only in the US...
There are EU-based companies like N26 and Revolut that (I think) give you the ability to generate multiple card numbers.

Both might require you to get the paid account instead of the "free" one though.

I've been using Revolut and their disposable cards for over two years now, but I never liked it as much as Privacy.com since they didn't allow you to set a spending limit. And well, if it wasn't for your comment I would have never discovered that Revolut actually implemented said feature. Thank you!
You’re just giving your data to them though.
It’s not perfect but it’s better than the alternatives. Last four of CC are often used for identity verification, but if I use a unique card number for every site, losing or leaking my Visa card won’t be as harmful.
My bank has this feature so I just use it without an additional service. But they probably sell all my info anyways. LOL
