Coming from the USA where there is no such thing as privacy

Some people would rather not have their mugshot amongst other sensitive data in the hands of a football club or a football organisation.

I have no issue producing ID matching name on ticket to a staff member at the turnstile. Having my mugshot in a database alongside my name & address is as good as handing over my identity to a hacker.

If none of the below companies were capable of protecting people's data then what makes you think the FA can.
