Technology and law
Technology use and legal requirements
Facial recognition and number plate reading are considered only for specific uses permitted by the applicable Italian and European rules. Each project reviews the purpose, legal basis, safeguards and way the function would be used.
Facial recognition
Biometric identification requires a case-specific assessment of the applicable legal basis and safeguards. The detailed Italian guide explains restrictions and the specific legal references.
Number plate reading
The project must establish a specific lawful purpose, limit access and retention to what is necessary, and consider the applicable safeguards for the place and circumstances.
Project checks
The client’s responsibilities and procedures, authorisations, necessity and proportionality, and the operator’s verification of results are considered before activation.
