Munio is a digital ID reader that can scan and read digital IDs from users through either NFC reading or QR code reading. Munio - ID Reader does not store any of the scanned data from the read digital ID. Data is displayed then deleted. The app will ask the user for location permissions. This can be set to never, while using the app, or one time. Users are not required to share their location. Additionally, the user will be asked to access their camera. The purpose of this is in order to be able to read mobile drivers licenses generated as a QR code. This is required to use the “QR code” feature. Users will be asked to enable bluetooth. Scanning mDLs is not possible without bluetooth enabled.
