However, it might learn that it is going about it the wrong way. The notification to customers that the technology is in use, depending on the location, is poor. In some cases, it’s only in small and hard-to-notice signs. In others, there are online notifications that customers rarely see.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Similar results are being observed in the Australian police’s use of facial recognition technology. They have used national and state databases for their purposes, even though there is no legislation allowing them to use the nationwide databases.<\/p>\n
The Australian Information Commissioner found that Clearview AI’s commercial face recognition app, which police have used, infringes on Australians’ privacy. In addition, in 2020, it was also used by a billionaire to identify his daughter’s date. The Ukrainian government is currently using it to identify Russian soldiers killed in combat.<\/p>\n

With police and retailers actively incorporating the technology, and Star admitting to its use, there’s not much stopping companies from selling the data. To them, just like Google, Facebook, and others, it’s simply another monetization exercise for their bottom line.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

7-Eleven said it gathered the faceprints to create demographic profiles and stop staff from cheating on surveys. However, despite its guilt, the chain did not receive a fine or pay any type of penalty.<\/p>\n
A parliamentarian in Australia introduced a law that would govern facial recognition technology in 2019. However, <\/strong>a legislative committee rejected the idea. It determined that the technology did not provide adequate privacy protections.<\/strong><\/p>\nInstead of working on a solution to address those shortcomings, the initiative lies almost dormant. There is discussion in legislative circles to develop a solution, but they aren’t moving quickly. In the meantime, casinos and sportsbooks could be trading personal data on gamblers and bettors without consumers knowing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
In Australia, a number of retailers use facial recognition to identify their customers, according to recent reports, That led to the question of whether casinos in the country are doing the same, and it turns out they are.
