Refuse to supply that amount of information which can be used for identity theft.

No offence but having a copy of a full driver’s licence can and does result in identity theft. For example Quest recently encountered a data breach resulting in driver licenses and passports being stolen.
I have a strong distrust that apple isn’t stating the service provider, which I can guarantee is going to retain the data.
“Apple and its service providers use the image of your ID to confirm you’re an adult and prevent fraud. The image of your ID is kept for a short period of time to complete this process, after which it’s deleted”.

That's up to you but it's actually in place to prevent identity fraud and to verify it is who you say you are.
