ASDA gives statement as shopper claims about self-checkout cameras cause panic
Supermarket giant ASDA has responded after shoppers were left furious over fears its self-checkout cameras had been filming them without permission. The retailer has spoken out after a video of a shopper slamming the self-checkout cameras went viral.
But beyond ASDA's cameras making you look like a bad episode of Catfish, shoppers have shared some very real concerns about their privacy. A now-debunked video has been shared across social media questioning what exactly the purpose of the cameras is. The video was viewed over 360,000 times on Facebook and in it, the woman complains about the new self-checkouts being installed at her local Asda. She shared her "viewpoint" on the fixed cameras, which shows people themselves as they scan their products through.
She added: "And under GDPR, unless you’ve given permission, they cannot do it." However Asda confirmed to Full Fact that this was not the case and that the camera and screens are there purely to deter thieves from stealing. It added that they don't actually store any footage that appears on them, other than the store's traditional CCTV systems, reports the Mirror.
