I’ve said it plenty before and possibly even on this thread, but providing your personal information to anyone is never safe. This should be evident with all of the hacks that regularly occur. If you do have to provide your identity information, make sure it’s to someone reputable, but even then it could very possibly be hacked and stolen.
I agree with you because there is no way to check whether or not your data are exposed to intruders who may use them for various illegal activities and this is why it is important to always protect your data as much as possible and be weary of the kind of platform you give out your personal information and documents to in the name of know your customers KYC.
Some of that platforms are highly vulnerable and unsecured to entrust your data in their hands.
