Registered supermarket members need to provide ID number?Expert: No need, be vigilant

The Yangtze River Daily Da Wuhan Client September 10th (Reporter Zhao Jiaxin) A few days ago, Mr. Shao, a citizen, wanted to shop at Metro Supermarket. Because non -members could not consume, Mr. Shao registered a temporary member. The staff asked him to enter Personal ID number, at that time he did not want to operate as required. Afterwards, he was a little worried that when registered members of the supermarket and other supermarkets, he did not need to provide ID numbers. Metro asked to provide it. Will it be wrong? In this regard, experts believe that if you only target individual consumption, it is not necessary to provide personal ID information.

On the afternoon of the 6th, a reporter from the Yangtze River Daily came to the Metro Supermarket on Gutian Si Road to find a female staff member, saying that he had fancy a schoolbag worth 199 yuan. When the staff learned that the reporter did not register a member, it was recommended to register one. The reporter said that because he couldn't live nearby and did not want to register a member, the staff member mentioned that he could register a temporary member. The reporter registered a temporary member according to the staff instructions. In addition to providing real names and mobile phone numbers when registering, he really needs to provide ID numbers. The staff member told reporters that identity information would not be leaked, but only the supermarket asked to do so.

The reporter immediately interviewed the person in charge of the service center of the supermarket to apply for a member card. The person in charge said that because there are preferential activities such as ticket delivery from time to time, and this member is universal, the real -name system is required to handle members, and all members' information supermarket staff cannot be seen. Only the platform can see, and Alipay, WeChat, etc. The real -name authentication is the same.

Later, the reporter was in place at a Hundred Supermarket near the intersection of Houhu Road, Houhu Avenue, and consulted and registered members. Registered members in the CICS Supermarket only need to provide names and mobile phone numbers before, but now you can register through WeChat code, no need to provide ID numbers.

The reporter contacted the Associate Professor Wang Xingang of the School of Business Administration of Central South China University of Economics and Law. He believes that the reason why the supermarket requires customers to provide ID number is likely to grasp the customer's more information through the ID number, because the identity number contains a lot of information, such as the province's belonging, the date of birth, the gender, etc.; They You can use this to analyze big data to provide a basis for portrait portraits; or give members some birthday wishes, birthday gifts, etc. at the same time to prevent members 'cards from using a multi -use, stolen, and damage to members' interests.

Associate Professor Wang Xingang said that as a supermarket, the name and phone number provided by customers is enough. The ID number is extra information, and the citizens do not need to provide it. If the identity information is leaked, it is likely to be taken to do some violations of laws and regulations, and citizens need to be vigilant.
