16 May 2024 Clearview AI Inc.Dutch AP: 30.5 million EUR against Clearview AI over facial database €30.5m
Clearview processes biometric data of people in the Netherlands without a legal basis for a facial recognition database compiled from the internet, did not inform data subjects, did not respond to access requests and did not designate an EU representative. In addition to a fine of 30.5 million EUR, the Dutch data protection authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens, AP) imposed four orders subject to penalty payments.
Publicly accessible photos are no licence for biometric analysis – users of such services risk fines of their own.
