Digimarc, an Oregon company, makes the equipment that makes Florida's ID’s, but the company’s on the market and a French firm could buy it, raising fears that private information will be shipped overseas.

"It concerns me," said Lee Gordon, concerned resident.

"It doesn’t look safe," said Behdad Azadi, driver.

The Florida Department of Motor Vehicles says drivers have nothing to fear.

The DMV says it keeps a close eye on people’s personal information, and no matter who buys the company that information will stay in the state.

Federal law requires drivers license information be kept under lock and key.

"We’re very sensitive about the fact that privacy is very important," said Dave Westberry, DMV spokesperson. "The Driver Privacy Protection Act at the Federal and State levels have a lot of precautions in there and we’re very sensitive to that."

State employees are responsible for recording personal information. Whoever buys Digimarc would take over the cameras, LCD pads, and printers not Florida’s driver database.

The French firm isn’t the only company interested in buying Digimarc. There’s also another US Corporation showing interest. The DMV says it will reexamine its contract when the company is sold.
