Description#

This technology may risk the privacy of individuals whose data is processed by it.

Examples#

Example 1: Facial recognition technologies are a widely recognised risk to privacy.

Example 2: Apps designed to monitor children’s digital activity risk children’s privacy, and can be repurposed maliciously as stalkerware.

  • Ensure there is explicit and well-informed consent from any participants.

  • Carefully consider the digital and cyber security of data and future inferences.
