Ask HN: Is AirBnb / Jumio's ID Verification Trustworthy?

Trying to book an AirBnB for a holiday, I discovered that their booking service now requires that you upload a scan of your passport to a company called Jumio for ID verification purposes.

Obviously, that opens up a fairly large range of potential threats if the images ever leak. I figure if any group will know, HN will - is this a serious risk? Is there a reason I should trust Jumio with copies of important documents and assume they'll never have a data breach? Or is this a "sorry, but I'm never using AirBnB again" moment?
