“Moreover, it is also the case that if people read in your identity card, they are absolutely not allowed to read in your national register number and photo. It’s hard to know if they do. In addition, the technology of the readers must be sufficiently developed not to read the national register number and the photo. This is a problem with many older devices.”
According to Feys, the Data Protection Authority has already issued statements about the reading of identity cards in shops. “You can have it done on the basis of free consent, but there must be a legal alternative. Even if a shop considers the identity card as the loyalty card, for example, they must be able to offer an alternative. Otherwise there is no longer free consent.” So you shouldn’t give them if you don’t want to and that shouldn’t have any consequences for discounts and the like. An identity card as collateral is also not allowed, for example with a go-kart or bicycle rental.
