Don't Let Your ID Be Copied: What Mallorca Travelers Should Know at Check‑in

Answer

Is it safe to let a hotel scan my ID in Mallorca?

Scanning an ID can create extra privacy risk because the file may be stored, shared, or kept longer than needed. In Mallorca, it is sensible to ask how the data will be stored, who can access it, and when it will be deleted. If possible, show the document without allowing a full copy unless there is a clear reason.
