    Sadly you have to. But it should be standard practice to give as little as possible.

      I just signed myself with an ID app (Not the government one, fuck the state). The government has my data, not only because I have a passport, but because it’s a strict mandate that every living human is recorded, so they can tax our existence from our very first breath to our last (some folk are still capitalism-coded so I’ll specify that their rules, politics, taxes and frequent threats are very mentally taxing). So, given that they and at least a few Chinese-origin, potentially drop-shipping wholesalers have my legal alias and home address, I figure an ID verification company is the least of my worries.

      The most we can do is choose when we comply.
