Hi, nowadays a lot of places online only accept payment via one of the three options mentioned. Privacy wise, which is my best option? My thread model is mainly based on surveillance capitalism.

The tradeoff is you will be giving the merchant your cc info instead, which is not really a good idea if you are dealing with one off transactions as that data is a way weaker link and have more dire consequences when compromised. When it comes to money, someone will always get your info, it's just a matter of choosing who you want to give it to.
