Big+ engagement software deployed in LRT KLCC - Avenue K tunnel walkway | The tunnel connecting Suria KLCC to LRT KLCC and Avenue K is a hotspot for advertisers as is has a high footfall. Big Tree is a media player company who runs immersive campaigns in the tunnel as well as other spaces in the city. In this case, they outline their new Big+ engagement software which uses sensors, facial recognition and geofencing to target campaigns. An Acer campaign in the tunnel is given as a sample case study. Based on the description of the software given by the CEO in an interview, it appears that some form of demographic based facial recognition and data collection is at play. This is because the advertisement is able to recognise and track who is viewing the campaign and tailor what is shown next to the viewer. This data is also collected by Big Tree for analytic purposes. The campaign can also be sent to the devices of persons in the tunnel using geofencing. |

Biometric Sim registration in Ghana | Ghana is introducing mandatory biometric linkage to sim cards. From November 2022, sim cards which are not biometrically linked to a user will be disconnected from the network. The decision has been met with disquiet in Ghana due to issues of data protection. The reason for introducing such a protocol is purportedly to reduce sim fraud and thereby crime. The supplier of the fingerprinting service is not yet known, but the name of the app through which registration takes place is Gh Self Sim Reg. |
Biometric child registration in South Africa | A proposal recommends that South African children undergo "reregistration" at age five, capturing a comprehensive set of biometric data, including fingerprints, iris scans, facial images, and possibly ear pictures, to prevent identity theft. This initiative is part of measures to enhance the security of personal identification from an early age. Additionally, it suggests lowering the age for digital ID applications from 16 to 10 years to facilitate smoother educational transitions. The Department of Home Affairs (DHA) also proposes modifying ID numbers to accommodate non-binary gender identities, aiming to protect against the misuse of deceased children's identities by foreigners. |
Biometric civil registry systems deployed in Rwanda | In 2007, Rwanda began collecting biometric data on all citizens. A smart card was also released. In 2014, the new national body for this process, NIDA NIDA (National Identification Agency) began trying to integrate all forms of data about a person to a single civil registry, and issued a smart card for this purpose. By 2019, this had achieved 99 percent coverage, according to the government. The ID is required for access to all services, including banking, and to cross the borders of the country. In 2022, the government states that they will have achieved universal biometric birth registry. Academic researchers characterise Rwandas use of surveillance technologies as 'intense' and oriented toward social control. The state may be overstating its benevolent use of the technologies due to a desire to maintain the perception of a strong central state. Historically technologies of surveillance in Rwanda have been used for social control. |
Biometric fingerprint identification for prepaid phone activation in Peru | In the start of 2017, the supervisory body for private telecommunication companies, Osiptel, made fingerprint biometric identification a mandatory requirement to buy or sell prepaid phone lines. The fingerprint must match with an existing identity from the national identification register, Reniec. The main mobile phone companies in Peru were ruled to implement fingerprint biometric verification systems. The identification of prepaid cell phone users is a measure adopted by the government to prevent these mobile lines from continuing to be used by criminals who hide behind anonymity to commit extortion |
Biometric fingerprinting deployed at anti-retroviral therapy and antenatal clinics in Malawi | In Malawi, a national biometric ID was introduced in 2017. It is not yet integrated with the health system. However, evidence from academic research shows that biometric fingerprinting has been in use in ART (anti-retroviral therapy) clinics since at least 2020, as researchers are assessing the opinions of people using the service. ART is for people with HIV. In Malawi, this is also integrated into antenatal care. Further academic research shows that academics have run trials of biometric fingerprinting in antenatal clinics. The performance of such trials is arguably sensitive as it is unclear how data like this can always be protected, even if the data is deleted. Further, as evidence itself from the research itself indicates, people do not understand the implications of their biometric data being processed. |
Biometric national ID deployed in Malawi | In 2017, Malawi began pilots for a biometric national ID. In 2018, this ID became implemented for all citizens over 18. The system is centralised, through this ID citizens get access to social and health services such as COVID19 vaccines. Internet usage in Malawi is low, however the ID has given rise to a points based citizenship system. The UNDP and Irish Aid were involved as stakeholders and made proposals for the implementation of the ID. |
Biometric national ID deployed in South Sudan | Since 2012, South Sudan's Department of Civil Registry, Nationality, Passports and Immigration (DCRNPI) has been deploying a biometric national ID. The biometric data collected includes fingerprint and iris scans. A 'German company' is supposedly the supplier. Since 2013, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has provided assistance in the rollout, to this day it carries out the registration of displaced persons in refugee camps for the ID. Academic researchers show that despite the fanfare surrounding the deployment of the national ID, in practice it does not mark a profound shift in the bureaucratic identity management of the state, which aims to preserve the status of the military elite. The UNHCR's role has also been critiqued as the collection of biometric data in humanitarian contexts may represent a new form of intervention with as yet untold consequences for the people whose data is collected. This is because of the potential of such data to 'travel' and be acted upon in other security realms, which is particularly likely in a context like South Sudan where the collection process is a combined state/aid agency effort. In addition to this, in 2019 the United Nations World Food Programme, who works closely with the UNHCR in South Sudan, shared their biometric database for food provision in South Sudan with the International Organisation for Migration (IOM). It can be speculated that because the rollout of the national ID is implicated with aid provision that data from these collection efforts may be being shared with the other UN bodies. |
Biometric national ID in The Gambia | Since 2009 The Gambia has had a National ID system based on biometrics. Innovatrics was the supplier of this system until 2018, when a new National ID system was rolled out. This one is provided by Semlex. The cost of the ID card for a citizen of the Gambia was reportedly four hundred and fifty dalasi at the time of release. This is around 7,000 euro. |

Biometric tools to be deployed by Trinidad and Tobago Police Service | Police in Trinidad and Tobago will 'soon' be using facial recognition software. The software is already being trialled by an unknown security institution. The police will receive access to it in 2023 and will also receive body and vehicle cams. The move follows a huge expansion to the security budget in Trinidad and Tobago. The police will also get access to the network of cameras that will have facial recognition around the country. Biometric fingerprinting will also be in use by police. The contracts for these systems have not been released and so the products are unknown. |
Biometrics deployed by Rwanda National Police | Rwanda National Police report themselves that they use biometric technologies such as fingerprinting, facial recognition, DNA research and predictive policing methods. They also use social media monitoring and CCTV monitoring. More details on these uses could not be found. |

Briefcam in Boston | Since the Boston Marathon bombing in April 2013, Boston has utilized facial recognition technology, but by 2020, its use by police was prohibited. The city has contracts with Briefcam, a company that confirms its technology's capability for facial recognition, though both city and police officials deny its use. Legislation bans city officials from using facial recognition technology and prohibits contracts with third parties for such surveillance. However, tips from external law enforcement agencies using facial recognition can be pursued. BriefCam, previously involved with Boston Police Department for marathon bombing investigations, offers software with facial analysis capabilities. Boston Police have stated they will not use the facial recognition feature in software updates, and it remains unclear if BriefCam's latest version is in use or if a current contract exists. |

Briefcam used by Beverly Hills Police | Since at least 2019, the Beverly Hills Police Department has been using surveillance technologies, including Briefcam, as part of a broader initiative to monitor the city. Beverly Hills has installed about 2,000 CCTV cameras, equating to nearly one camera for every 17 residents, covering shopping districts and residential areas. The network also features intersection cameras, drones, and license plate recognition devices. In 2020, plans were made to add 900 more cameras and 50 license plate scanners at a cost of $14 million over five years. While state law restricts facial recognition use, BriefCam assists in analyzing video footage to identify specific vehicles, locations, and individuals. |
Briefcam used by Springfield, MA Police | The Springfield Police Department reportedly utilizes BriefCam for video analysis, despite denying the use of facial recognition technology (FRT) and implementing a moratorium on its use. It's uncertain when they adopted BriefCam. Three years ago, the department inaugurated its Real-Time Analysis Center (R-TAC), integrating BriefCam VCA software. This software aids analysts in swiftly reviewing footage from traffic cameras across the city, condensing hours into minutes to identify relevant objects. Dispatchers coordinate with camera footage in response to 911 calls, enhancing situational awareness and officer safety. During critical incidents like a recent fatal shooting, R-TAC analysts provided timely and accurate information to responding officers using multiple camera perspectives. |

CariSECURE crime prevention programme | CariSecure is a United Nations Development Programme crime prevention initiative active in the East Caribbean and Barbados. It seeks to reduce 'youth crime'. In order to accomplish this goal it has set up an interoperable PRMIS (Police Records Management System). Though it is a low grade system from Softengi, evidence shows that in practice that ACRO UK has helped to run biometrics on the system also. Softengi is an AI company. It is possible that the system was set up in such a way that it can be run through other predictive policing software. The programme crosses 8 countries and benefits from funding from USAID, as well as the United Kingdom Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (UK FCDO) and the ACRO Criminal Records Office. |

Clearview AI Face Recognition used by Finnish police | In 2021, the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) made itself known for using Clearview AI’s facial recognition software to recognize sexual abuse victims in the end of 2019 and start of 2020. 120 searches were made by four NBI officers during a free demo period. Neither NBI’s leadership nor the National Police Board were aware of this experiment – it came up over a year later when Buzzfeed News contacted the organization in March 2021. After that, the police reported the experiment and a possible data breach to the Data Protection Ombudsman who later gave a notice to NBI. |

CloudWalk facial recognition deployed in Zimbabwe | In 2018, it was announced that a mass facial recognition system would be deployed by CloudWalk in Zimbabwe. This forms part of the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative. CloudWalk stated they would be providing a full suite of surveillance technology tools across sectors. CloudWalk is a Chinese company which supplies cloud policing tools in China. The primary element of this deployment is the use of facial recognition from CloudWalk to develop a large dataset. CloudWalk's later iterations of recognition can identify gait and hairstyles. Another element of the deployment identified by reporters is the utility of training the datatset on darker skin tones for CloudWalk. A final element identified by civil society is the use of the surveillance technologies to identify dissenters and influence elections. A biometric voter roll is being prepared from the database. Huawei has also been linked to the deployment of smart city technologies upon which the facial recognition systems are to run, with Hikvision cameras, for the purposes of this surveillance system. They have at certain points denied this linkage. TelOne, the Zimbabwe telecommunications company, has also been linked to the deployment of facial recognition around the country for this effort. |

Facial Recognition System for Fugitives in Argentina | The Fugitive Facial Recognition System (SRFP) was introduced in 2019 in the city of Buenos Aires with the aim of detecting people wanted by the police. The SRPF was governed by a technical cooperation agreement between the National Registry of Persons (RENAPER) and the Ministry of Security of Buenos Aires. The signed agreement allowed them to access a database of approximately 40,000 people.
With this agreement, the Government of Buenos Aires was able to use the 9,500 security cameras equipped with facial recognition software distributed in the capital, whose images reach the Urban Monitoring Center (Centro Urbano de Monitoreo), under the supervision of the Ministry of Security and Justice. Investigations were carried out at the Buenos Aires Ministry of Justice and Security and the Urban Monitoring Center (CMU), and it was determined that, between April 2019 and March 2022, the Ministry of Security and Justice of Argentina used the system of video cameras with facial recognition to access the biometric data of 7 million people, without a court order for it. Because of this finding, a judge signed a resolution on Tuesday, April 12, where the suspension of the facial recognition system was ordered. He held that the City of Buenos Aires was only authorized to extract biometric data from people required by justice. And he warned that the big number of searches of citizens, many known for their public performance, shows that the process could have been manipulated to obtain improper information illegally. |

Scarface predictive policing deployed at mines | Bidvest Protea Coin, a South African security company, has deployed a high grade system for the tracking of suspect persons at mines around the country. The system is termed 'Scarface' and consists of an algorithm for identifying 'early' signs of transgression. It uses facial recognition and appears to be connected to other criminal databases. It can be described as predictive policing to the extent that it makes a claim to the early identification of the 'signs' of suspicious individuals, aiming to prevent crime before it occurs. It also claims not to rely on the intervention of a person (user) to make an analysis. It appears the system may not be limited only to mines and may serve as the bedrock for a general predictive policing system. |

Tech5 and biometric registration for the Fayda ID in Ethiopia | The new national identification for Ethiopia, the 'Fayda-ID', will involve biometric registration and a 'biometric engine' powered by Tech5. It is currently in the trial phase but hundreds of thousands of persons are using the system. The ID will be required for access to social services and healthcare. Tech5 is the provider for the Digital ID and 'biometric engine'. The project is seeking a vendor for the biometric registration kits, which the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa is seeking. This is so the biometric registration system can be carried out in line with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. This case represents an example of the incentivisation of 'digitlisation' in Africa which often takes the form of biometric based identification systems. |
Test of One and a half meter monitor | To support COVID-19 social distancing measures, the "1.5 meter monitor" system was developed for public spaces within the Amsterdam-Amstelland Safety Region.

Trident ID biometric registration in Barbados | The new national ID card of Barbados, the 'TridentID' includes elements of biometric registration capabilities. At the beginning of the project, health data and fingerprints were stated to be a mandatory part of the collection process. The government received backlash to this proposal during COVID19 as citizens felt it would be used to surveil their (non)vaccination status. It received further backlash as a form of biometric surveillance when a similar system in Jamaica was struck down. Ministers have since backtracked on the necessity of biometric collection, however it seems that the card is ultimately intended or has the capability for biometric registration and health tracking. There are now huge delays in the card being rolled out due to these issues being ironed out. Given that the card is to be a 'cornerstone' of the reception of all social services in Barbados it could amount to biometric mass surveillance. It is unclear who the supplier of the card is. |

While it is not clear what capabilities they may have, Swift Tactical Systems markets itself as a provider of real-time intelligence for militaries and governments, and use techniques such as Lidar photogrammetry which involve image processing and therefore possibly imply object detection or person detection. As part of the programme, Swift Tactical Systems trained the Royal Defence Force of the Bahamas. Given The Bahamas proximity to the US border immigration seems to be the concern, as well as drug trafficking. The fleet has also been used for aerial reconaissance in the wake of a hurricane. The operations system is connected to the police's shotspotter technology. |

Use of "Smart Display" in German post offices | Deutsche Post conducted tests with smart displays using face recognition technology for targeted advertising in select post offices in Berlin and Cologne, using the "adpack" system by Indoor Advertising (IDA). The system identifies the gender and approximate age of individuals without storing actual images or videos, thus not "filming" in the traditional sense. Customers were unaware their faces were being analyzed, as Deutsche Post did not inform them during the test phase, arguing that the data wasn't saved and consisted only of "anonymized metadata." The company believes it meets data protection standards, citing approvals and an E-Privacy seal from reputable institutions. |
Use of "Smart Displays"in German Supermarketchain Real | Smart displays in 40 Real supermarkets across Germany analyze customers' age and gender to tailor advertisements seen at checkout screens. The system also records how long a customer views the display, without storing images for more than 150ms. This approach aims to refine the relevance of ads by transmitting data to Echion, the operator handling the ad content. Although this deployment raises privacy concerns, similar to the use of facial recognition technology by Cadillac Fairview Malls in Canada, it has been deemed unproblematic by German authorities, indicating a different stance on privacy and surveillance technologies. |

Vivotek video surveillance deployed on N4 toll road, South Africa | The N4 road runs 630km between Pretoria, South Africa and Maputo, Mozambique. A new Vivotek solution was installed along the roads and in the toll booths. Like a similar deployment in Zambia, Vivotek VAST 2 VMS is in use, which has integrated facial recognition and smart search functions. Therefore although it is not stated that facial recognition is definitely in use, it can be speculated that it is as well as other forms of smart video analysis such as person detection which are facilitated by VAST 2. License plate recognition is certainly in use. |

Wellington NEC Living Lab | From 2014 to 2018, Wellington City Council collaborated with NEC on a living lab project, investing over half a million dollars to use data and technology for city improvements. The initiative aimed to address begging, violence, and adapt to rising sea levels. A network of cameras and sensors was deployed to detect begging, violence, graffiti, and monitor foot traffic using Wi-Fi trackers. After spending $568,783, the pilot project concluded, with the council discontinuing the behavioral analytics exploration but integrating some cameras into the city's safety network. These cameras, especially at key points like the ASB Sports Centre and railway station, will remain for crowd monitoring, operating in partnership with the police. |

ZTE video surveillance deployed in Addis Ababa | In 2009, ZTE Corporation won the bidding to install a camera network system in Addis Ababa, Ethiopa's capital. The surveillance division of ZTE, ZTE NetView, was drafted to install the system. In 2010 they installed cameras around major streets. The cameras provide 'real time' integrated surveillance of the city. While no biometric surveillance technologies appear to be in use, ZTE also provides these 'peace city' solutions to China where facial recognition is often a feature of the systems. Features such as facial recognition could easily be added to a system such as this. In Ethiopia, ZTE competes with Huawei for the biggest share in the ICT market. These moves are viewed by scholars as part of the Chinese Belt and Road initiative. |
