This spring the Disneyland Resort implemented facial recognition at its main gates to both of its parks. The technology is utilized to combat fraud and also make the entrance process quicker and easier for guests. As guests walk into areas near entrances to the parks (the esplanade or Downtown Disney District entrance at the Monorail) signs can be seen that share about the technology and share how guests can opt out of utilizing the technology to enter the parks. The technology uses photos to compare images connected with a ticket or Magic Key. As the technology has moved from a period of testing to more regular use, Disney has been hit with a class action lawsuit. The lawsuit says that Disney is violating privacy, competition, and consumer protection laws with the technology at Disneyland. According to what was filed in California federal court on Friday, the complaint says that Disney “does not adequately disclose the use of their biometric collection, so consumers – which almost always include children – have no idea that Disney is collecting this highly sensitive data.” The lawsuit also says that there isn’t a proper disclosure to guests about the dates that is being collected. It notes that there are signs of a slash through the graphic of a person at four entrances where guests can avoid utilizing the technology. The lawsuit says that this does not provide meaningful notice for guests. It is unknown if the lawsuit takes into account the signs that guests pass while making their way to the entrances. “Guests should be able to expressly opt in to this type of sensitive facial recognition technology with written consent – the onus of privacy rights should not be on the victim,” writes Blake Yagman, a lawyer for the proposed class of visitors, in
