ID scanning at clubs?
IRman
I guess I don’t run across this much,,,,, But recently went to a local club where they requested my ID. I actually don’t typically carry it on my person. I keep it locked up securely in my vehicle. Now bear in mind there is no doubt based on my appearance that I’m well past my thirties, much less my twenties.
So I return inside to the attendant and gave her my card and asked what she was going to do with it. She points to a scanning device and says she’s gonna enter it in.
At that point I asked for it back before she scanned or even looked at it.
My understanding is this is an easy first step to ID theft or fraud. How does everyone on here feel about this? Do u allow clubs to enter or save your ID data?
See my future discussion regarding my experience with the club’s security personnel

last commentThe clubs will say that they do it so they can identify you if you cause problems, skip out on your bill, etc. Which is valid. I just don't trust them with my information, assurance that "we don't keep your info past tonight" notwithstanding.
I do occasionally go to ID scanning clubs, but seek to avoid
TL;DR - HELL NO, THEY'RE NOT SCANNING MY ID WITHOUT A WRITTEN PRIVACY POLICY!
