Facial scan @ ID scan @ restaurant

I’m with you on probably has more to do with their license than anything else. Can get booze Sundays at my private country club I belong to sitting right next to the people who voted for the laws against it for years. There used to a be a small place on the lake that was a private club, bastards charged $1/ year for a membership.

 

As you touched on, they don’t need to chip you. The phone is a way better source of information about you than a passive locator chip would ever be.

You guys think it’s scary now?

The next step is obviously going to be widespread neural augmentation. Think about where that’ll go for a minute.

 

I won’t, and you can’t make me!

 

Time to bone up on my hackin' skills.

 

Where does it say they're taking a picture? Do they include a privacy statement?
I get that it's a private venue and they can do what they want to identify their clients, but where does one find those disclosures?

 

I have no problem with an entity doing what they feel is in their best interests of security, but I have security interests as well, part of which is disclosure of the privacy policy(-ies) along with the measures they've enacted BEFORE I GET THERE. Once I'm on my way to the venue, I consider it doing business. To not disclose their policies so I can choose not to do business before I invest time/money is BS.
What lack of conscientious thought and honesty would make an individual think that springing security measures on their prospective customers after they've driven however many hours to attend an event a good idea that won't also bring potential backlash? Are they looking for a fight or are they just stupid?
Either way, yeah, I'm leaving.

Are those tracks ascribing an ID to the image? You're starting to sound like a 'tard, scanning is a given. What I'm understanding PITTRace to be doing should be disclosed. If you don't have the documents in front of you to support the answers to my questions, don't guess and don't fucking patronize me. Giving up your rights is your business but don't be giving up mine, nor expect me to, in the process.

 

To be clear, I just like to bitch about it. I know there's plenty of cameras around anyways, it just feels invasive to snap pictures of everyone and the kids in the car, even if it logically doesn't matter. I keep coming every year anyways

Probably more annoyed that I have to wake up my inevitably sleeping kids and take them to the ticket office at Barber every time we start the weekend. Woe is me!

 

If you're gonna not comprehend what your members have to say and make presumptions about their behavior, I can't talk to you.
In an effort to maintain a civil dialogue, can you not answer my questions about PITT's policies with fact so I know whether or not I'll ever return there?
If you don't have the answer, what's so hard about saying so?
Also, don't you think that might be a policy you should make your members aware of if it does, in fact, exist? I'm not joking around.

For your benefit, allow me to reiterate my understanding of PITT's reported/alleged policy(-ies).
Goes like this...
I show up. Signing in, a pic is taken that is somehow attached to my signing a waiver, creating a photo ID for their records.
My questions are...
How is that done? Where's the disclosure that says it's being done? I see nothing on their website disclosing this procedure nor do I see anything that stipulates, by signing, that I consent to having my image recorded and, by doing so, a photo ID for their records being created. Let alone, where's the privacy policy statement?

I do not consent and, I'll be real clear here, I'm gonna be extremely agitated if I show up and the gate informs me of these alleged/reported measures for which they've provided no advance notification.

As far as security cameras, yeah, they're everywhere. But they don't ascribe an ID to the image that the "watching" establishment has access to...they can't do facial recognition anymore than they can look up a vehicle's license plate.

Please understand that your comments are out of context and not appreciated. All I'm looking for is the policy confirming disclosure of their actions and the subsequently relative privacy policy. I can find neither. If you can't find them either, may I suggest you contact them in an effort to clear the air?
Under the current circumstances, I will not attend an event there.

 

Sounds reasonable to me.

And to expand on that. On a recent visit to our local gigantic medical facility network, I was asked whether I wanted to enroll in their facial recognition program. I declined, and no more was said.

I have considerably more confidence in their ability to maintain security over anything to do with me than Larry, Moe and Curly working the gate at PittRace or Betty and Veronica acting as hostesses at the local diner.

What are you not getting Sean? Do you have your Monday crankypants on?

 

To be clear, I'm acknowledging it doesn't really matter to my degree of actual personal privacy. I understand their reasoning for doing so. As you said, most of that information and location is out there a million ways anyways. This originally started (IIRC) in 2020, so...ya know.

Sorry for kicking the nest here!

 

You’re the boss!

 

Nope...that Evelyn.

 

Evelyne.
