I have been hesitant to add my card because of privacy. I particular the fact that my card is linked to my email. What is your take on it?

I recommend using Privacy.com to create virtual credit cards that withdraw directly from a bank account. I see it as a VPN for credit card purchases. For US customers only, but obscures payment info to merchants.

You can use a bogus name and address for the merchant billing information (in this case Google Play).
