Clearview have been told that the EU and UK GDPRs apply to their indefensible business of selling your face to foreign law enforcement agencies, after PI intervened in a recent legal case. On 7th October, the UK Upper Tribunal (UT) confirmed that Clearview AI’s controversial facial recognition business is subject to the EU and UK GDPRs. Clearview had argued that its scraping of billions of online images to produce facial recognition services for sale to foreign law enforcement agencies placed it outside of GDPR’s material and territorial scope. The Tribunal rejected that claim, agreeing with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) and our interpretation.
