According to the rail travel provider, Interrail Pass customers’ identification documents are not copied, only the data they provide is stored. However, this does not apply to all customers. Those who have purchased a ticket through the DiscoverEU program must also be aware that copies of their identification documents, IBAN numbers, and health data may have fallen into the wrong hands, according to a separate statement from the European Union.
