You might want to look up Clearview AI, who also took publicly available images, performed biometric recognition on them and ended up with a €30.5 million fine: https://blog.barracuda.com/2024/10/23/clearview-ai-fine-gdpr...
I just did research on this.
Clearview vs Introthem:
- Clearview does photo-to-photo matching. We don't do that, and I don't think I will ever build that.
- You have to provide the name, then we build the faces collection for analyzing at search time and delete it.
- We don't retain any face collection once the search is done.
I still don't know if I am breaking any laws, but here is how Introthem works.
You should definitely find out if you are breaking any laws.
100% this is illegal in Illinois. They have specific biometric data protections. Probably also a crime elsewhere.
