# Can I buy Pro without revealing who I am?

Yes, with two standard tools. For the receipt, use an email alias: [Apple Hide My Email](https://support.apple.com/105078), [DuckDuckGo Email Protection](https://duckduckgo.com/email), [SimpleLogin](https://simplelogin.io), [Firefox Relay](https://relay.firefox.com), or [addy.io](https://addy.io) all forward to your real inbox without exposing it. For the payment, use a masked card: [privacy.com](https://privacy.com) in the US generates virtual cards that work with any name you type, and many banks and services elsewhere ([Revolut](https://www.revolut.com), for example) offer disposable virtual cards that do the same job.

At checkout, Paddle asks for an email, a payment method, and a country (plus a postal code in some regions) to calculate tax. The alias receives the receipt, the masked card carries whatever name you gave it, and the tax location narrows you to a region, nothing more. Keep the alias alive though: the receipt email is your proof of purchase and your channel for a refund.

Combined with a phrase account, no single party ends up holding the full picture: your bank sees a card top-up, Paddle sees an alias and a masked card, and we see only that a public key became Pro.
