Basic Credit Card Checker

I've made a basic credit card checker using python. It is based oh luhn algorithm.
Check the following image to understand how to check a credit card:

Though my checker can't say if the cc is alive or dead but it can validate if the number exist or not.

I wonder if this software shows how active the cards are and how often they are used? We have tried different options to see how it works. Not in case of theft or loss, but for ourselves. We then contacted the company credit card company and were told that there are many official programs which show almost everything about the owners. We read about the restrictions and the possibilities to eliminate them in our country and abroad. Is this true or how does the system work from the inside (are there any bankers here?) I would like to know.
