Privacy campaign group Big Brother Watch has asked the UK privacy watchdog to investigate PimEyes.
Privacy campaign group Big Brother Watch has made a complaint against face recognition search engine PimEyes.Big Brother Watch claims it facilitates stalking and has complained to the UK data and privacy watchdog.
Big Brother Watch says that by piecing together information associated with these images - for example the text of a blog post, or a photo on a workplace website - a stalker could work out a person's "place of work, or indications of the area in which they live". The campaigners accuse PimEyes of unlawfully processing the biometric data of millions of UK citizens - arguing it does not obtain permission from those whose images are analysed.
In its terms and conditions, the site says it is intended to allow people to search for publicly available information about themselves.
