Does the Danish one not contain name etc? The idea was that you'd be comparing that against photo ID.

It does not, well it does, but you have to click to unhide it. There isn’t a Danish ID withou a SSN on it, and that’s secret. There where some resistance to allow resturant and other venues like that see your name and SSN.

So no, due to privacy, there no nane show by default.

The Danish app gives the user two options. You can either show one that contains name and DOB or one that doesn't.

It's not clear (to me) when you are supposed to show the code with additional information, and I haven't been asked to do so.

The option with more data is only for official situations, like border control. That version is also in English and French.

The French app (Tous AntiCovid) shows my name along with the 2D-DOC (QR code).
No, actually the danish app has 3 versions.

1. No personal information at all. It only says valid or not valid. 2. Name and date of birth 3. Foreign travel, with name, date of birth as well as information about test type or vaccination type etc.
