Sixt sent me a message encouraging me to check in early for my car rental. But to do so, I have to consent to a biometric face scan that their third-party contractor keeps on file. No thanks.

    I think you overestimate the efficacy of the vast majority of IT systems. My wife worked on a thumb print scanner and they never store more than a day’s worth of data before getting overwritten because why would you.

        Yes, but most companies have such bad data management that it probably gets lost or overwritten very soon.

          I think this is somewhat of a willfully ignorant thought in the age of data mining. This is Disney we’re talking about. I would presume their data management to be superior than most. And in the realm of using and/or selling data that would likely include facial recognition, I’d think they’d capitalize on that given the data is already in their pocket and given freely 50k times a day to enter their park. How am I to check that they deleted the photo they took of me? I cannot.
