    I was expected to provide ID and a picture to be vetted for a holiday rental. They wrote: We are only checking the following items:Criminal History *** Offender Registry Fraud and Terrorist Watchlists Safely's prior rental database As a Coast Guard veteran I am all about safety but we had already been there a couple months prior and wanted to bring our friends for the next clam dig. I was not only offended and insulted at this ridiculous requirement I felt my privacy was invaded. My girlfriend made the previous booking and was asked for no such details. You can see how I might be offended by a sexist requirement from a person who may be prejudiced against men. There was no check in and we saw no staff during our four day stay. Where would my details be going anyway? Who vetted the vettors? Had I provided such details to this company I would have to worry if their system was secure. They could make all the claims about security they want but we don't trust anyone anymore since all the fake news has now been revealed and government watchdogs are now fired! I would have cancelled my holiday at a really fun little place before I provided such details. If an intensive background check is so important what of the other three in my party? How much is it costing me to have this useless company creating a Identification fraud risk and invade my privacy? A service to landlords I can understand but not a vacation rental. We already pay enough extra charges and processing fees as it is! I came to the BBB site just to be sure they were legit and I wasn't being scammed for personal information. In my opinion this is just a predatory company driving up consumer costs using scare tactics.
