Clubs that scan IDs on entry

Too much of a good thing is never enough

I've read reviews of clubs that scan your ID before allowing entry. What is the rationale for scanning the ID? Quite obviously, the club can verify the age of a customer without scanning the ID.
Are they checking your ID against a data base? If so, what kind of data base would be relevant?
Are they simply keeping a record of who entered the club on a given day? This seems like an unnecessary invasion of privacy (although the number of facial recognition cameras in public places have ended most expectations of privacy).
What is the collective wisdom about turning over your ID for scanning: nothing to worry about? Or refuse and go to a different club?
Got something to say?
