16 May 2024 Clearview AI Inc.Dutch AP: 30.5 million EUR against Clearview AI over facial database NetherlandsAI systems €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.

What organisations can take from it

Publicly accessible photos are no licence for biometric analysis – users of such services risk fines of their own.
