Facial Recognition Challenged by French Administrative Court | Hogan Lovells - JDSupra
by Alberto Cammozzo June 2, 2020

June 2, 2020

<https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/facial-recognition-challenged-by-french-7…> In a decision (French only) dated 27 February 2020, the French Administrative Court of Marseille invalidated the deliberation of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur Regional Council which allowed to set up, on an experimental basis, a facial recognition mechanism in two high schools in order to (i) better control and speed up entry of students into the high schools and (ii) control access to premises of occasional visitors. This decision is important as this is the first administrative court decision in France about facial recognition. Since the GDPR entered into force, it is also the first French administrative court decision relating to data protection not based on a deliberation issued by the French Data Protection Authority (CNIL), which was already quite uncommon before GDPR’s entry into force.

LIVE EPIC ONLINE POLICY PANEL: PRIVACY AND THE PANDEMIC
by Diego.Latella June 1, 2020

June 1, 2020

LIVE EPIC ONLINE POLICY PANEL PRIVACY AND THE PANDEMIC (https://epic.org/events/June3/) JUNE 3, 2020 1 PM - 2 PM ET The COVID-19 pandemic is a global health emergency of unprecedented scale, and countries are deploying a wide range of techniques to respond. EPIC is advocating for greater privacy protection to ensure that the public health response protects individuals. These systems should be lawful and voluntary. There should be minimal collection of personally identifiable information. The techniques should be robust, scalable, and provable. And they should only be used during the pandemic emergency. Our panelists will discuss ways in which governments can protect both public health and privacy, the technology behind digital contact tracing apps, and the Congressional response to privacy and the pandemic. PANELISTS: Jane Bambauer Professor of Law at the University of Arizona Alan Butler Interim Executive Director and General Counsel, EPIC Asad Ramzanali Legislative Director, Representative Anna Eshoo [D-CA-18] Bruce Schneier Internationally renowned security technologist MODERATOR: Anita Allen Professor of Law and Professor of Philosophy, University of Pennsylvania Law School Chair, EPIC Board of Directors ABOUT EPIC: https://epic.org/epic/about.html -- Dott.
