that's not the point at all, I can understand that and as a matter of fact everybody has to submit a shitload of paperwork for that. Now, I might be very stupid but I can't see why they need to give my info to a 3rd party. As they put it:

CHOICE

You may choose whether or not to provide Personal Information to ePassporte. If you choose not to provide the Personal Information ePassporte requests, you can still visit most of ePassporte's Website, but you may be unable to access certain options, offers, and services that involve ePassporte's interaction with you. If you chose to have a relationship with ePassporte, such as a contractual or other business relationship or partnership, you will be required to provide Personal Information in connection with such relationship in order to maintain that relationship.
OK, the only thing I use epassporte is for paying and get paid. Same as 99.99% of epassporte users. So which "certain options" will I be unable to access? what with the mistery? why don't they put EXACTLY what does it means? Will I be able to get my funds? will I be able to pay? what? I can't think of anything else to do with epassporte, so it must be one or the other

Plus, when I contract a service, I contract it for some specific purpose. In this case, for the provision of financial services. I signed stuff, did everything they asked for even when they're changing their mind every month and now it seems I'm dealing with a ghost company with no real localization, just a never heard before name. All my info was given to them without even ask for permission and my only resource is to tell them to not give what was already given.

And on top of that, it happens after they required a shitload of paperwork as if they couldn't work without it (I had my card for years and never had a problem and all of the sudden they need a lot of info as if the credit card I used to fund the account wouldn't be rejected if it had fake info. Yes, sure)

I don't know, either I'm too paranoid or some people around here is extremely naive, in my experience nothing good happened out of things like this. Never. And I've the feeling it won't happen this time either.
