Hi flockonus, listing should say NYC preferred but we're certainly open to remote. In fact, we have three EMs in Canada between Toronto and Vancouver.

Privacy.com Reissuing All Cards 5 years ago
Hi all - I’m one of the founders at Privacy. I’d like to provide more context on why we’re asking customers to reissue cards.
In an attempt to stay current with changes in card network and bank requirements, we spent the better part of this year investigating product adjustments and determined that changing our cards from prepaid debit to charge cards is the best option to preserve the customer experience. I recognize reissuing cards can be a pretty big inconvenience - this isn’t a decision we took lightly. The silver lining is that this should improve merchant acceptance and provide a better overall customer experience.
Functionally, cards will continue to operate exactly as they always have - no fees, no interest, no selling of your data, and no impact to your credit score.
Agree that authentication should be table stakes, though I would argue that the actual mistake is that the MongoDB application/docker container was on a host/VM with a network interface on the public internet.

Exactly. I still use plastic even when btc is an option. Credit cards are simply better for the consumer (instantaneous transaction, chargeback/dispute and points)
