Disneyland targeted in class-action lawsuit claiming new program is violating guests’ privacy
Disneyland is facing a class-action lawsuit over allegations of unauthorized biometric data collection through facial recognition technology. The lawsuit claims that guests are not adequately informed about the scanning process and that explicit consent is not obtained. Disney's privacy policy states that collected data is deleted within 30 days, but the lawsuit argues that this is insufficient due to the linking of biometric data to ticket purchases.
- ▪Disney is accused of gathering guests' biometric data without proper disclosure.
- ▪The lawsuit seeks at least $5 million for affected park visitors.
- ▪Disney's facial recognition technology was rolled out in April at park entrances.
