They are gathering my debit card information and purchases and then targeting me with specific coupon offers.
I don't know if that is illegal or not
Not enough information. Are they storing this info or just comparing it against a federal database or something? I doubt Target itself would take on the expenditure of maintaining such a massive database.
Debit card info is a long way from facial recognition data.
People are used to doing face recognition for their banks etc
It’s a desensitization
I quit my bank when they demanded that
When they release that to some entity for a boatload of money all the lawsuits in the world won’t get it back
So. NO
Facial recognition and fingerprints are given out like they’re nothing. I wouldn’t do it for anything.
They’re desert it so they don’t see this piece for what it is.
They most certainly cannot take it without consent.
If target does that they’ll be shut down so fast it will curl your hair
I cannot take this woman seriously.
If you have a face and go out in public, you are subject to facial recognition.
It’s interesting that the article specifically mentions fingerprints. The only thing that makes sense is that since Target has credit cards, they probably offer a fingerprint option to login. If that’s the case, it’s odd that BIPA info isn’t included in the terms of service. Once the legislation passed in 2008, you’d think that all the legal jargon was revised at that time.
How? Facial recognition, fingerprints, etc. and the analyzing of the data that is likely sold for marketing and shared with intelligence agencies and CCP? I’m not sure I agreed to that but am interested in finding if somehow I did.
GOOD FOR HER

That’s not exactly what the law says. Video recording is ‘capturing biometric data’. It’s what you do with it that matters.
If a company uses face recognition to apply an internal ID to a customer, how are you going to know? There are legitimate use-cases for how this might be helpful for both sides. It’s when biometrics get attached to financial details that we start to have a problem.
Fingerprints and retinal scans are far different than facial characteristics. As said, you’re recorded the moment you leave the house, your face isn’t private - unless you wear a burqa.
Whatever
