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.

Still reasonable?

If you think of your fingerprint as a "secret", you're wrong. It's more your name. That would be like saying your face is a secret. It's not.
