In a recent statement, the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp (“OLG”) stated that it will be unveiling a new facial recognition system to be used by all of its 27 gambling outlets across Ontario.
Set to commence in May, the system would require that any person entering an Ontario gaming facility will have their face digitally scanned and compared to the more than 15,000 people with gambling problems who have voluntarily placed themselves on a banned list.
Being heralded by critics as a “high roller in privacy protection”, Ontario’s privacy commissioner Ann Cavoukian called the system “the most privacy-protected system using biometric encryption in the world”.
Of particular interest from a privacy perspective is that the program incorporates a biometric encryption algorithm that ensures that there is no permanent link between a biometric template of a person’s face and their corresponding private information.
In addition, the system boasted a 91% success rate during the pilot project testing.
