I`m worried about security once my ID is scanned. What obligations do businesses have?

Businesses have to:

  • keep personal information, such as your scanned ID, securely
  • destroy or permanently de-identify information when it is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected for.

This answer is a summary only.
