Campbell Featherstone: Dentons Kensington Swan lawyer on more Kiwi retailers turning to facial recognition tech to stop crime
More Kiwi retailers are drawn towards facial recognition technology, as crime continues to surge.
A recent Retail NZ report shows the sector has suffered over $2.5 billion in losses in the past year, and 92 percent of retailers have been the victim of a crime.
Dentons Kensington Swan lawyer Campbell Featherstone says it's important for Kiwi retailers to take a coordinated approach with this technology amid privacy concerns.
"If the sector can figure out a way of implementing this technology in a fair, reasonable manner- then everyone gets to utilise it."
