Datatilsynet (Denmark) — FysioDanmark Hilleroed
March 17, 2022 · Denmark
Datatilsynet warned a fitness centre that its planned facial-recognition access-control system would breach GDPR Article 9, as scanning non-consenting individuals and using biometric data for analytics lacked explicit consent.
Key takeaway — how to prevent this
Biometric data (faces, iris, fingerprints) needs an explicit lawful basis or consent. Scraping or capturing it without one is unlawful across the EU/UK and many US states (e.g. Illinois BIPA) — and draws the largest fines.
Inclusion does not imply wrongdoing or liability. Status reflects the latest information we have — always check the official source for current status.
