I always wondered which laws if any protected people when they knowingly send their IDs in "for verification". Is there any law which stipulates how it must be stored, how long it can be retained or whom it can be shared with? Or is it just a free-for-all where they could sell it all to the highest bidder since you knowingly gave them the ID?

Usually I note companies asking for this stuff do not have privacy policies which spell out in exact details what can be done with it. I'm not sure about Paxum but I'd be shocked if they explicitly spell out in writing what can and cannot be done with your ID.
