what information is pulled up when immigration officers scan your passport photo page in airports when traveling internationally?

Is it an entire database of your travel history and criminal record and how do immigration officers use it to determine if you can enter or leave a country? What red flags can pop up from your passport photo/bio page? Cheers!

I have work with a company that handle border control automatically, from the passport there is very little information, little more that’s already written.

The kick it’s the passport number and boarding number, this info is crossed with DBs around the world to check if you have a warent, plus your travel comes from the boarding pass.

I had little interaction with our clients in the USA, but in Europe and Asia no extended travel itinerary was recorded/access por privacy reasons, but some information it’s used like current trip, this was very important during covid.
