China Implements Stricter Regulations on Facial Recognition Technology

China has released draft rules from the Cyberspace Administration that aim to restrict businesses' use of facial recognition technology in favor of non-biometric personal identification methods. The proposed policy requires individual consent and a specific purpose for using facial recognition, with preference given to non-biometric verification methods if available. Certain administrative situations may not require individual consent, although specifics were not provided. The proposed rules discourage the use of facial recognition for personal identity verification in airports, hotels, stations, banks, stadiums, exhibition halls, and other establishments, unless required by law. The draft also prohibits the installation of image collection and personal identification equipment in hotel rooms, public bathrooms, changing rooms, and bathrooms. The draft is open for public comment until September 7.
