Retail giant Bunnings has breached privacy laws by using facial recognition technology on its customers. The landmark finding by the Privacy Commissioner is the result of a two-year investigation and is expected to have significant implications for how businesses use the technology in the future. The hardware giant captured images of hundreds of thousands of customers over a period spanning almost three years. Bunnings has been ordered to destroy any personal and sensitive information within a year and to not repeat the practice in the future.
