Disneyland hit with $5 million lawsuit over use of facial recognition technology
Summary
A $5 million class action lawsuit has been filed against Disneyland and Disney California Adventure by Summer Christine Duffield, alleging the parks fail to adequately disclose the use of facial recognition technology at their entrances. The suit claims this biometric collection violates privacy rights and consumer protection laws. Disneyland disputes the claims, stating they respect guest information and offer alternative lanes that do not use facial recognition. The park deletes biometric data within 30 days, except for legal or fraud prevention purposes.
