Sure, but you’re going to disclose all of the same biometric and criminal database information should you then do the U.S. visa application, so this does nothing to improve your privacy or stop the U.S. having this information. You need to travel to the U.S. with these changes? You still use ESTA and VWP, and the U.S. pulls what they need via an IT integration. You need to travel to the U.S. and these changes get a “No” from EU states? You go through the visa process for tourism or business, they get your biometrics and background checks through that process. It takes longer. It costs more money. It is more onerous to you as an applicant. Every time you cross the border as an alien you are fingerprinted and photos are taken (exceptions are given for diplomats). In short, it’s the same outcome for U.S. travel and your only way to stop the U.S. having this information is to not travel there…
