Privacy is Paramount
Imagus Facial Recognition software is compliant with privacy principles from Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. Imagus Data Protection functionality meets GDPR requirements.
In a retail environment, Imagus only looks to raise real-time alerts if repeat offenders, who are manually entered into the repeat offender’s database, return to a store. Repeat offenders are typically identified by retail security from previous incidents. For all other people seen, their image and metadata file are deleted immediately.
