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.  +
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.  +
Investigative journalists discovered that at least 34 police forces in Canada, excluding the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, used Clearview AI's facial recognition software, primarily through its unpaid version. The extent of its application varied, with some police departments acknowledging its use only after further investigation. Examples include Edmonton Police using it for an auto theft case, while others like Halifax, Halton, Niagara Falls, London, Ottawa, York, and Peel Regional Police tested the software under various circumstances. Following privacy concerns, the use of Clearview AI has ceased in Canada, prompting an official investigation into its deployment by law enforcement.  +
