There's an opt-out here: https://www.mastercard.us/en-us/vision/corp-responsibility/c...
Does this mean you're opting out of the anonymization, but not the collection of personal information?
The wording here could definitely be improved.
> Does Mastercard share transaction data?
> We do not share transaction data without consent or as otherwise legally permitted such as in the context of fraud prevention.
That's a yes or no question. Instead of answering it with a resounding YES they instead reply with some waffle about "legally permitted context".
They also miss out that they sell services that access that data. So an external party might not be able to see it directly but they can pay Mastercard to do the same customer monitoring for them.

Once I get back that report will be requesting deletion.
That is, beyond rotation of card numbers whenever Apple Pay is used.
Knowing Apple has put an emphasis on customer privacy, and that Apple Card is run on Mastercard makes zero mention of it in either article kind of stand out to me.
It would be great to get clarification on what the scope is of Apple Card customer exposure to Mastercard’s commercialization of payment data.
