There's a risk in providing or submitting passport details for airdrop KYC, because many airdrops are scams.

I think that this is not very safe, but in fact, if you think about it, bounty participation or investing in projects is not something terrible

I've heard that some companies sell information about their customers to other people for advertising or other purposes. No one can guarantee you the confidentiality of your information

For me i can't sign up in airdrops who asking for AML/KYC with airdrop estimated amount for less than $5 because this low value of it don't worth to provide my passeport detail for it

I would never risk it for just 5$ ever. If it would have been atleast 50$ then I would have thought.

Mostly yes, they can't do anything with just a driver license. However if they are lucky enough to get your bank card information that turns to be a real problem. Anyway I bet you don't want somebody yousing your passport for crime and explaning late to the police that was not you but somebody who bought your ID screens on the darknet

For me i dont like to provide any documents just to get the bounty token,  what if they will use your information to do illegal activities. You get the reward in exchange of your private info.

To get rewards worth of around 10$ I would never, never(!) give away personal informations about your passport, a picture or something else you share personal data. If I don't know exactly who are the people behind the project (and I don't want to do a big research) I'll stay away.
We all know in crypto space there are lots of scammers and if you are not careful you'll tap in their trap. It is very likely, the scammers are running KYC airdrops to sell your personal information on the black market. If you don't want to risk that, please avoid KYC Airdrops.
10$ aren't even worth to share your personal data to a legit Airdrop. KYC is something we don't need, it's only to steal personal data - KYC a big absurdity.

My personal view: Airdrops requiring KYC are a no-go to me - stay away.

I believe that it is not necessary to participate in ICO/bounty/airdrop which require KYC.To disclose the address and so impractical

I will definitely not sign up to an airdrop that gives me as low as $5 especially if they need details like passport. I will sign up to those that require id cards at least to be safe.

Giving our important documents like passport is risky,but if you look the project especially bounty some of them are asking kyc but in AIRDROPS I can't provide,some AIRDROP are like a bubbles and getting your personal details like email so be careful.

I am of the opinion that eventually that a lot of us will have our information stolen from these companies collecting KYC. If it happens all the time with big companies, it seems likely that these small KYC companies will get hacked eventually. Part of the risk you take messing around with crypto, I suppose.

I never recommend submitting the KYC especially passport for airdrop. Some bounty program also asks KYC. Before submitting your KYC document for anyone, do an own research about those Company(or ICO project). Because if someone misuses your KYC document for illegal activity, it may be a Sevier legal issue.

I do not give information about myself anywhere, it is in any case, whether it is a loan or KYC. I try to avoid such companies  Wink

I saw KYC managers tryed to sell personal data of investors and bounty hanters to ICO projects, i think, it's not safety for users.

Of course no, it is not very reasonable to transfer your personal data to unknown persons. It is not known what they can do with them.
