Thanks Marie.

Only stating the facts

Bunnings.

And I've just recently learned they're deploying facial recognition in their stores without fully informing their customers.

Really? I didn’t know that!

Mitre 10 is still around too in some places.

What on earth would they be using facial recognition for?

 

[LozzyR]

Yes, but I cannot use them you need a car for such places. Most of our stores are out of reach for people without cars even large supermarkets. It never used to be like this.

Does the UK still have B&Q?

Didn't you know. We are all part of the herds now. No right too privacy and in some places peace and quiet.

Yes, all accessible if you have a car getting delivery's have been very difficult since covid.
It's like only certain people can acquire what is needed. I'm exhausted trying to get things. I've been getting things of builders lately, it's saved me a pretty penny and a heap of stress

 

[Marie2020]

Flexi won't let me get into the dust bath, she maybe smaller than me but I'm scared of her when she's in a mood

I have no idea.

Perhaps they are correlating faceprints with purchasing habits in order to create a data asset they can sell to third parties?

In the story, the Bunnings person mentions theft - which I assume means they'll use the faceprints to assist police in investigating theft.

From my research, I know how unreliable faceprints are. They're nowhere near as reliable as fingerprints, for example. So I hope the cops don't go after the wrong people.
