For the driver's license thing, I think one of the reasons you see a lot more of this happening is twofold. There are more online account thingies these days that give you some way to prove you are who you are to give some kind of backstop for account recovery. And they essentially just need you some proof of identity.

loss of privacy of giving these people your thing how much do you trust the company do you really care about this account like usually this is an optional type thing but that that's part of the same family of activities of like they just need you to prove who you are but you're not there a lot of times if you're there in person if they just need your driver's license for you to prove your identity you don't have to scan it or give it to them you can just show it to them

And maybe, you know, you can see if they're typing down your driver's license number or do they just want to say, yes, a human being has now seen and like a, like a, you know, a bouncer at a bar looked at your ID and decided, I think this is a real ID. You are Joe Schmo. You have a state issued identification, thumbs up. And then they never scan it.

And hopefully they never write anything down about it. You're just showing it to them and then putting it back into your wallet. So that is another kind of middle ground. But yeah, like Marco said, you can just say no and see what the consequences are. Most of the time they just need the information.

I don't know this for a fact, but I think a lot of the reasons healthcare providers in particular want you to scan both sides of your card is because they're so sick of trying to navigate the world of getting people to give them the correct information from either side of the card. And they're just like, if we just get scanned, we'll figure out where it is.

you know avoiding a customer service issue and so in that case if you wanted to skirt around that it's like do you just need my member number because i'll just give you that it's this and i don't even have like marco i don't even have a card but if that's what you need and very often like credit card numbers they can look at the member number for whatever your insurance is and know whether you've omitted the right number of characters from the beginning or whether you've tacked on a group number or whatever like they can figure it out so

That's pretty much what I do as well. Although I have to say that for my driver's license and stuff like that, I just assume everyone can get that information anyway. My social security number is a lot higher security than that. I have to say, I don't think anyone has asked for my social security number in a situation where I don't think they should need it.
