Data privacy is a huge concern indeed with the digitalization of the world. lots of data are being accumulated whenever you interact with a machine. nature of interaction, time, frequency, place, etc. In an ideal world where everybody is is symbiotic to each other, it can work no problem and it's convenient. But the nature of closed perimeter living units that we are, with the difference in information we possess, mood and emotions, culture etc, it is normal for citizen to have an eye on this, because data can be copied in a fraction of a second, especially with quantum computers becoming reality, unlike cards and paperwork, also on the horizon is the data on your instant medical condition that could be taken regularly.
There is not need to «panic» about it IMO, but there are indeed security concerns that are legitimate. Each «era» it's concerns and promises, i would say....

Yes, it has been done long ago even on a lower Tech era.
Remember visiting Paris in ´86 and breaking news was their public transport "Carte Orange".
You loaded it with, say, the equivalent of 20 or 40 trips, refilled when empty.
Active element was a strip of magnetic material.
In no time Students copied it onto cassette tape
which they cut and glued to plain cardboard rectangles ... instant bliss System collapsed when "exact same user" was present, in hordes, at every Metro station in the City at the same time
"Gattica"? I don't know him, except he was an Argentine boxer ... give us a link, please, I'm interested.
The future that visionary writers saw is coming ....
In my young years I read Aldous Huxley a lot, "A happy world" and "the Island" hit me, I wish I was wrong!
You wouldn't think the same if I lived a few days around here !
Bigs data indebted us for the future for a hundred years !

I don't remember that or I didn't find out, can I search on google without getting paranoid ?
Me too. Both at home and the office building.
If your avatar is you, please update the perspective. You look 'off' in that shot.
Yes I had to mod picture to fit in avatar dimensions.
Its not good to mess with perfection.
I come from Cumbria, England where the men are men and the sheep are scared.
The pic is a bit rare for me, taken after an extreme hair cut !
Got a bit more hair now plus a beard.
Around here, in Salta, Argentina, a man from that province told me that the good thing about the llamas is that they are at the right height and that the accommodation is also hotter than that of a woman ...

Actually, no. The Carte Orange was a monthly fee for all you wanted to ride (within the zones purchased). The Carte Orange wasn't rechargeable, you bought a new one every month. There might have been other cards that could be recharged, similar to the telephone card with a chip. I never had one. London had cards that were trip specific.Remember visiting Paris in ´86 and breaking news was their public transport "Carte Orange".

I can't imagine that the Carte Orange had any unique identifiers. It simply needed the month and zones in which it was valid.
Don't remember anything about that system crash. Which is strange, because I was riding the Metro several times a day in 1986.
Quantum computers are reality You can use them on line by now D-Wave Systems
