If it's truly sensitive data, encrypting with a unique private key and locking that with a PIN a la FIDO via NFC would be a bit more secure.

One master key leak and everyone is walking around with IDs that give away sensitive data over RFID.

"Sensitive" data that you already leave on everything you touch.

You leave your DNA everywhere, too, but there are data security and privacy implications of digitizing that data and voluntarily/involuntarily sharing it with others.
