They wanted my driver's licence, shared with third parties. They claim it's deleted shortly after upload, but I don't really trust it to be honest… maybe they do, but they won't even tell me who the third parties are
There's not even a good reason to do that and upload it, you could have a local only scan and then pass along a check mark only, like they say how biometric thumbprint works.
Given the track record other companies have with accidently on purpose not deleting such files, then getting hacked and the files stolen, I really wouldn't trust it at all. Plus, fuck age verification anyway.
