According to the document, the CPB also plans to request numerous additional personal data in the ESTA application. This includes all – including professional – phone numbers and email addresses used in the past five or ten years, names and phone numbers of close family members, as well as their birth dates and places. Biometric data is also included.

      Oh no, lots of companies rely on the ESTA as well. Good luck going to the US on business trips.
