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.

Picking between the ones you listed it's basically a "pick your poison" situation.

Klarna is definitely extremely sketchy. I've yet to read their terms of services but km not looking forwards to it.

I think all of these companies are sketch in one way or another. You would be better off choosing something like Wise or Revolut as they at least offer disposable credit cards for one time purchases.
