Why am I seeing other Venmo purchases?
In an interview with CNET, Venmo revealed that since the digital wallet app also works as a social network, transactions are public by default.

How can I see who's been looking at my Venmo?
There is currently no way to see who views your profile or activity on Venmo, unless they interact with a transaction by liking or replying to it. For those concerned about privacy, Venmo allows users to hide their activities from the public by adjusting certain settings.
If your identity has not yet been confirmed,the limit on the funds you can send to your bank account is $999.99 per week(depending on security checks in Venmo). You can increase this limit by verifying your identity (see instructions below). Once you've done that, you can transfer up to $19,999.99 a week to your bank.

Anyone can track a Venmo user's purchase historyand get a detailed profile - including drug dealing, eating habits and discussions - as the payment app does not offer privacy by default.
