Disney is being sued for allegedly failing to inform guests about facial recognition scans at its parks.Summary
Disney is facing a class action lawsuit alleging that it does not adequately inform park visitors that it scans their faces at the entrances to Disneyland and California Adventure. The lawsuit, filed on behalf of visitors, seeks at least $5 million in damages. The complaint argues that guests should be able to opt in to this sensitive technology with written consent, as the onus of privacy rights should not be on the victim. Disney introduced facial recognition systems at the two parks in April, with a stated policy to dispose of the data within 30 days. However, the suit argues that this may not be accurate because the biometric information is compared to data from when guests first bought tickets or annual passes.
