This is common at places with ticketed entry in the US. Even my old gym used a very similar fingerprint scanner. Pretty sure the tech is all from the same one

Pretty sure the tech is all from the same one or two vendors. They claim that neither the raw fingerprint nor a unique identifier derived from it is stored. Instead, one of seven possible values is computed from it and only that classification is saved. If true, in practice, there is a 1-in-7 chance that your scan will match someone else's.
Resistance is futile.
