  3. And this *might* mean that identification is possible from multiple angles and - potentially - to a higher degree of accuracy than with other data sources. TBC.

    The DVLA’s privacy notice doesn’t list the data types they process in any real detail. The relevant item for these purposes is merely “visual images”.

    There is room for improvement here - I want to see a full list of detailed data types and the purposes for which each is processed.

  4. Facial recognition using the DVLA database seems like an invasive step with unproven benefits.

    The DVlA and the Passport office both capture images for renewals using a smartphone, which is quick and convenient for everyone.

    But I *think* (it’s been a while since I used the system) they require a video to prove you’re alive and the person to whom the records apply. That also helps #FacialRecognition systems (if they keep the files).

  9. Few Americans Understand Online Privacy and Tracking, Report Says

  10. The #EU really needs to start piling the pressure on #Ireland to enforce European law on #Twitter (and other larger companies).

    Encouraging the tech giants to come to Dublin cannot extend to providing them a safe harbour from which they can abuse EU laws.

    Irish politicians cannot damn Hungary for dismissing the Rule of Law and then ignore Ireland doing exactly the same thing.
