Both individual people and companies/organizations often make a gut check or analyses of getting caught and cost of a fine vs. cost of fixing xyz (that they should do according to the rules). And the rules in the EU have individual implementations in each country.Sure, but would you want all kinds of organizations that have a record of not taking privacy as serious as some, to have a copy of those documents? I also wonder how they would check a photographed copy?Recently I was mailed by an organization called Odido, they had a cyber intrusion and my data was captured. I had never heard of the organization, I later learned that it was the rebranded name of the Dutch (independent) branch of Tele2 and T-Mobile, of which I was a customer many, many years ago. We have rules about how long a company can hold onto private data, which was far past the point I was last a customer of them... And these shenanigans aren't unique.But in the Netherlands we've had DigiD (Digital iDentity) for a while now, it's a government owned digital identification platform, we use it for submitting our taxes, but also non-government companies use it for identification, things like hospitals, insurance, etc. Some of the other EU countries have similar solutions... And it can be used for age verification like: Is this person 15+ years old? As this digital identity is connected to a single person, no one else should be able to use the ID of someone else, thus no further information would be required (no name, location, etc.).[URL unfurl="true"]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DigiD[/URL]</blockquote>
