Privacy.com cards are for blocking companies from charging you money you don’t want spent. It is not for obfuscating your actual identity.

You can use a Privacy card with any name you want on it although some small vendors with actual people running the purchase process can read and take issue when the “card” is supposedly issued to a “Mybig Blackdog”

Yes… the entity you are spending money with will not know your name (unless they need to due to transaction issues etc.)…but the transaction units entirety is recorded with your name and the business the money was sent to.
