What do you mean even? Wouldn't it still be a debit card that tracks your activity and where they can theoretically take away your money?

Building societies (similar to mutuals elsewhere?) Are not trying to get every last penny out of you so won't be tracking/selling that data. (Though their credit cards might?)

Not sure where the taking your money comes from?

I doubt it would even be technically/legally possible to not keep logs of spendings from a debit card. I like to have privacy at least in my day-to-day transactions, and I do want more people also using cash.
