Now-a-days many restaurants and pubs ask for the driver’s license and then they use driver license scanner to retain a copy of the data available on the card.

Most of these people feel unsecured as their personal details might be used by hackers for their advantage. Or it can be passed on to marketing companies that can use it for promoting their products and bothering them. While working on a project I had the privilege of interviewing the general community and knowing their views on whether they agree to produce their personal details at pubs and restaurants or they mind it. To my utter surprise most of the people did not mind as they perceived it necessary for security reasons. Some of them did object only to details like how many drinks they have per week and what was their preferred brand etc.

I was startled at the understanding level of public. With the passage of time the thought process of public has matured immensely.
