Depositphotos refused my earnings request. It’s said that my w8 expired. After I updated it, they still ask me to submit my passport, which violated the EU personal general Data Protection Regulations. (Loi n° 78-17)

I really do not see where asking for your passport is violating the EU general Data Protection Regulations. You want to enter a legal bussines relation with someone, you got to identify yourself. The EU general Data Protection Regulations is about data processing, it's no law against identifying yourself.

Looks like your working for depositphotos.
You should know with my w8 form I already identified myself. Depositphotos don’t have to ask me again my passport.
Based on European law, I will sue depositphotos in France taking in charge by French judge according the French law 78-17.
That’s why as my lawyer said, all big stock agencies don’t dare ask copy of passport.
FYI even in Germany’s hotel they can not copy guests passports.
Depositphotos has another problem : the tax scams in USA

Yes, of course I am working for Depositphotos. ::)
Btw, I am from Germany and here hotels DO ask for passports to identify yourself. Copyin is another issue, but that's not what we are talking about. Wanting to see your passport and copying and storing that information are two different things. There are laws against Depoitphotos processing your passport information in a certrain way. There is no law against them asking to see the passport for identification and unless you can show them your passport in person, sending it online is the only way.
But good luck with your lawsuit.

They need the taxform to be able to pay out without the us tax, which goes to the usa not depositphotos and they want an identification document to make sure it is really you. Nothing unusual about this in the business world.
I really don‘t understand your problem.
If you don‘t want to properly identify yourself to prove who you are, I would think you are doing this because you are the one not declaring your stock income to your authorities…I mean why else try to hide your identity?
After all a stranger could fill out the form using your stolen id details. You would not want that to happen, do you?
Proving your identity also protects you from scammers and identity theft.
But sure, abandon deposit if you feel uncomfortable. They won‘t miss you.
eta: also from Germany…every hotel asks for your id in addition to your credit card. They need to know who is staying in their hotel and to make sure you are not using a stolen credit card.
