In the name of security, without paying the rent of advertising space, the third-party face recognition camera manufacturers install free advertising equipment with face recognition function in the elevator of the community. The loss of rental income that would otherwise belong to the owner is also at risk of privacy disclosure. “The system monitors the community’s real-time monitoring and warns suspicious people entering and leaving the community. The relevant data belongs only to the public security organs and is connected with the general security system to build a safe and intelligent society.” The signing contact at the end of the announcement was a police officer at the Hongqiao Road police station. The ads are interspersed with public service announcements and commercials. The reason for the investment is the money for face recognition system. Soon after, police were invited to the property’s WeChat group to explain. This led to a backlash from property owners: even with the lens module in public safety, “we need to install it in the doorway, not in the elevator, let alone in advertising.” ”Does the redhead document state that elevator surface identification must be installed?” However, police officers in the group ordered property managers to continue booking door-to-door installation equipment.
Whether it is necessary to install a facial recognition system for elevators is another major controversy. Some property owners have suggested that many residential areas are equipped with video surveillance cameras to meet security needs. The elevator belongs to the building owner’s semi-private area. The elevator’s face recognition system installation is a considerable investment, resulting in a waste of resources. Meng Jie, the partner of Global Law Firm, specializes in protecting the privacy of personal information. In her view, governments and law enforcement agencies can make exceptions in the legislation to collect face-saving information without consent for public safety, policing, investigation and evidence gathering. However, suppose camera module manufacturers, for commercial purposes, require third-party companies to cooperate and collect facial information without informing and consenting the public. In that case, this violates the public’s right to know and poses considerable risk of data leakage.” You must be vigilant and put on the guise of ‘legitimizing’ commercial use.” Merchants say that even if they collect facial information with users’ consent for legitimate purposes, they regularly delete the stored data and cannot commercialize it. Face information collection must follow the principle of “minimum collection” and take appropriate encryption security measures.
