Facial recognition company Clearview AI is facing a potential fine in the UK and has also been handed a provisional notice to stop further processing of UK citizens’ data and to delete any data it already holds as a result of what the British Information Commissioner’s Office described as “alleged serious breaches” of national data protection law.
The UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office announced the provisional orders following a joint investigation with Australia’s privacy regulator. Recently, the Australian Information Commissioner ordered Clearview AI to delete all images and facial templates belonging to individuals living in Australia.
