Oh dear, dear EU, please show some teeth on this matter, god help us if you do not. The EU is the only place on earth having kinda sensitive big data/privacy laws and enforcements thereof. I am familiar enough with data aggregators like lexis nexis, you do not want to be there or end up there without knowing or without having an option for removal of the entries. Do not share anything, this paper speaks of fingerprints, damn, even my god damned government and the government where I reside do not have my fingerprint. Some countries have a biometric passport, but usually, taking fingerprints is done on suspects of major crimes. Hell no, share nothing, for an entry to the us, there is paperwork that needs to be filled and of the us govt requests fingerprints then, that fine. But an information exchange of personal data like fatca? Thanks, but no thanks. Did europe ask the USA for their citizen data? Thought so. I know for sure the usa does not have access to some very important data from some european countries, and that is good the way it is.

EU already has mandatory ID cards with biometric data (fingerprints), while AFAIK there is no such systematic collection of biometric data in US.

  You have the 5 eyes and NSA instead, whatever they do not have, apple, ms, aws and google will have. If we put all these things aside, AEoI exists and if a bank does due diligence on mortgages, loans and car leases, they collect plenty of stuff, if they have it, the government can have it. The EU mindlessly signed up for that, now the US gets all that insight, meanwhile, its almost impossible for americans to open a bank account abroad. The europeans do not share fingerprint data, cept for criminal interpol investigations. You are mistaken if ypu think your government is collecting less data than the euro governments. There are more issues with governance there, but I will not go the esclation route, my message is simply to not trust governments with your data. All on a need to know basis.

    > You are mistaken if ypu think your government is collecting less data than the euro government I am EU citizen and i think that my government is collecting much more personal data than necessary. Whether they would also share these data with the US government is for me much smaller concern than the fact they collect it for themselves.
