What is the situation that the residential property cannot force the owners to recognize their faces?

It is understood that the relevant departments have imposed restrictions on face recognition. Mainly to ensure the information security of consumers, residential properties will be required not to force owners to recognize their faces. Then let's take a closer look.

As a kind of sensitive personal information, face recognition, once leaked, will easily cause great harm to personal and property safety, and may even threaten public safety. Some residential properties and business premises use face recognition as the only way to verify the owner's access. In this regard, China Consumers Association said that residential properties and business premises cannot force owners or consumers to carry out face recognition, and other alternative verification methods should be provided for owners or consumers to choose independently.

China Consumers Association said that when collecting consumers' personal information, operators should ensure that they inform consumers in advance and obtain the consent of consumers themselves. Operators shall not handle consumers' personal information by means of package authorization or compulsory consent; Without the consent of consumers, commercial information shall not be pushed to consumers.

Some platform operators use their own information about consumers' economic situation, consumption habits, price sensitivity and so on to discriminate against consumers in transaction prices, and conduct accurate marketing through user portraits without the authorization of consumers.

China Consumers Association said that business operators should not treat individuals unreasonably in terms of transaction prices and other trading conditions for commercial purposes, such as "killing". The platform should also assume the responsibility of "gatekeeper" for the protection of consumers' personal information, such as establishing and improving the compliance system for personal information protection, regularly publishing social responsibility reports for personal information protection, and accepting social supervision.

At the same time, China Consumers Association reminds consumers that to develop the good habit of "not providing personal information unless necessary", it is suggested that personal information should be provided or authorized to operators only when it is really necessary. Pay attention to protect the documents containing personal information to prevent personal information from being leaked due to random discarding or improper use.
