In my neighborhood, there is a new law requiring use of such scanners.

Are they required to store the scans for some period of time?

The requirement [0] is “Must reject entry to anyone using a fake or duplicate ID.” I gather that the bars have determined that the easiest way to detect duplicate IDs is to outsource to these services that capture IDs and can be queried at time of entry. I have no idea how long they keep them, but it seems safe to assume they would value the data forever.

I’m sure it depends on the bar if they care about retention or derived insights but I fully expect the service providers to retain these records indefinitely for the purpose of monetization.

Presumably using these services alleviates some legal liability for the business.

I do wonder if there’s a legal requirement for retention and what access the government has to the data.
