A $5 million class action lawsuit alleges Disney's California theme parks illegally collect facial-recognition data from visitors without proper disclosure or consent.Summary
A $5 million class action lawsuit has been filed against Disney, alleging that its California theme parks, including Disneyland and Disney California Adventure Park, collect facial-recognition data from visitors without clear disclosure or consent. The lawsuit claims Disney began using the technology in April to verify tickets by comparing photos with images taken when people first used their tickets or annual pass. The suit alleges that while separate entrances exist for visitors who do not want to participate in the biometric scanning, this does not amount to meaningful notice. Furthermore, the lawsuit claims that most people are swept into the scans without realizing it, and the suit covers both adults and children.
