Tap to pay? (lemm.ee)

I'm interested in using something akin to Google Pay or Apple Pay.

I like the idea of having it generate a token for security instead of giving my actual card number. I don't want my information going to Google.

Is there some alternative that can be used on GrapheneOS to mask the card number and allow tap tp pay?

I am using a Garmin watch when I need TTP. The companion app can be run in a separate profile (or even an old phone, or chromebook, or maybe Android Studio with bluetooth). I'm not sure how often the watch needs to sync to keep TTP working. I'm hoping that Garmin is a smaller fish in the data-broker economy (than Goog/Appl/Samsung).

I'm not logging any activities, though I haven't read any analyses of whether Garmin is secretly logging GPS, then uploading that when it syncs.
