Worse, imho, is the more places that have your info because they “have to scan” your id, the more chances of your id info being hacked.
I was notified my personal info was exposed by some 3rd or 4th party medical service I never heard of nor dealt with. Not sure whih of my providers used them. Their solution was for me to freeze my credit info on the major credit score sites.

Well, hoopty-damn-do. I at least have a justification with a concrete example when I tell them no to a id scan...

Absolutely, I can’t believe how folks spread it all around the country and then wonder how their info got out.

Only a very few like your bank needs your ID info in their system. You don’t want anyone else to get it or have it period. If they insist go somewhere else or live without it. It really is not worth the risk. I am personally boycotting every business that wants to scan IDs.
