Worried and unsafe practice
Airbnb asks for picture of ID now after I used it for 11 years , if I want to continue use the plat form ,whilst no other similar platform ask for this, very worried and feel unsafe to disclose my ID, there any so many identity fraud.
I checked online and made phone calls for advice, advised 'if not wish to become a possible victim of identity theft and better like to protect your privacy don't do it. AirBnb is associated with a 3rd party company who's policy states clearly that they can use your information for everything they consider as part of their business = at their convenience. If you later also (need to) provide your credit card information the door is wide open for possible credit card fraud as all your information is with them. Be extremely careful if company's like AirBnb ask for ID's and credit card information"
Why Airbnb asks this for unusual thing? Is it legitimate to comply GDPR? It is very worrying.
