Facial recognition technology is increasingly used across various sectors, from public safety to advertising and employee management. However, this technology also raises concerns about privacy and protection of personal data. Indeed, facial recognition involves processing sensitive biometric data, which poses particular challenges in terms of GDPR compliance.

In this article, we will explore the different measures that companies can take to use facial recognition while respecting GDPR requirements.

Data collection is one of the main concerns related to the use of facial recognition.
