The Australian hardware chain Bunnings has been found to have violated privacy regulations by using facial recognition technology on customers without consent. According to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner, Bunnings compared customer faces to a database of individuals with criminal histories but failed to notify customers about this data collection. The company has been ordered to destroy the collected personal information and cease such practices, while Bunnings disputes the ruling, claiming customer privacy was not compromised.
