Unless your card provider treats you differently than me, it doesn't matter if the data can be stolen and used without your consent. When you get the bill and you find charges on in that you did not authorise, you call the card provider and report the fraud, and you are reimbursed. By law here they're required you reimburse you minus $50, but I've never had that happen, they always reimburse the whole amount. I can hardly imagine it's different in Europe; nobody would use the things: You'd be at serious risk every time you make a purchase. Even if you trust the company, everyone who handles the card number can steal it. And this happens quite a lot.
I trust PayPal, Amazon, etc, much less than small regional players. PayPal especially, as they don't have a problem outright confiscating the funds of people who have differing politics than PayPal. When you sign up for Amazon, you authorise them to automatically take your money in penalty at times! Smaller companies don't stay in business very long if they commit fraud.
