when your credit card is telling people where and when you work it is time to reconsider your credit card

I don't think there's a credit card company that can't (or won't) do this. Or even debit cards for the matter. Or any app that has location enabled.

This article's domain (Ramp) is a SaaS company that tracks employee expenses for other companies.

Tracking employee credit-cards and reimbursements is part of their service that companies use:

https://ramp.com/corporate-cards

every single credit card company does this.

you can literally buy purchase data from Mastercard, AMEX, and Discover and use this data for retargeting and advanced targeting w ads and run them on Facebook and other platforms.

A dog food purchase? Owner likely has pets, serve em a pet ad, etc.

Im not aware of card networks selling data like this, but there are other players like Yodlee. I used this data for equity trading.

Can I buy such data? How anonymised is it? Source?
