Who else would verify the user passports if not the customer support staff? Who verifies (and photocopies! in Asia and Europe) your passport at a hotel or car rental office?

A separate KYC department that verifies identity then immediately deletes the images?
When was the last time your passport was copied in Europe?
I don't think that this is still legal under the GDPR.

All KYC processes require copying in Europe. There's nothing that's blanket illegal under GDPR. If you have consent you can collect and store whatever you want.
