Sixt sent me a message encouraging me to check in early for my car rental. But to do so, I have to consent to a biometric face scan that their third-party contractor keeps on file. No thanks.

Several years ago Universal Studios wanted my thumbprint to go through a gate. I politely refused, people I was with were annoyed, employee acted like me not giving my thumbprint was a hassle.
Did they let you in without the thumb print or were you left out then?
Yeah there was another procedure but of course it took a minute.
I went to Universal last year and I don’t remember having to give any fingerprint.
I do remember having to do that for Disney ages ago though. Like, well over a decade ago. I didn’t think much of it at the time.
They do a face scan. Their tiny print terms say they only keep it temporarily, but I don’t believe that at all.
That I do remember.
I think you overestimate the efficacy of the vast majority of IT systems. My wife worked on a thumb print scanner and they never store more than a day’s worth of data before getting overwritten because why would you.
I’m not over estimating anything. They take the pic with a cellphone and it gets uploaded.
Yes, but most companies have such bad data management that it probably gets lost or overwritten very soon.
I think this is somewhat of a willfully ignorant thought in the age of data mining. This is Disney we’re talking about. I would presume their data management to be superior than most. And in the realm of using and/or selling data that would likely include facial recognition, I’d think they’d capitalize on that given the data is already in their pocket and given freely 50k times a day to enter their park. How am I to check that they deleted the photo they took of me? I cannot.
It was the train ride to Hogwarts IIRC.
The one between parks? I rode that both ways and didn’t give up my print. Only thing I remember doing is them scanning my pass.
