Description

The water park "Livu Akvaparks" uses FindFace software to take pictures of the customers that they can then buy upon leaving the park.

A high-speed and accurate FindFace solution that has shortened the typical customer photo retrieval time by 40 times. Prior, the process took in average of 20 minutes. Now, it takes no more than 30 seconds.

Facial biometrics has sped up service delivery and shortened queues. The solution has increased the level of service while increasing the sales of commemorative photos. 2

This use of facial recognition software is worrying for Latvian police because the company, NTechLab, is closely associated with the Russian government. Thus, the biometric data collected in the water park is in the possession of a Kremlin-alienated company.

Действительно ли биометрические данные посетителей Līvu akvaparks могут попасть в руки российской службы безопасности? Государственная инспекция данных (DVI) заинтересовалась этим делом после вопросов Delfi, а руководитель поставщика фотоуслуг SIA Aquaphoto Сергей Гришин заявил, что все необходимые разрешения от DVI были получены, а также "проведены проверки, и никаких жалоб не поступало". 1
