The Swedish DPA has fined a municipality 200 000 SEK (approximately 20 000 euros) for using facial recognition technology to monitor the attendance of students in school.
A school in northern Sweden has conducted a pilot using facial recognition to keep track of students’ attendance in school. The test run was conducted in one school class for a limited period of time.
The school has based the processing on consent but the Swedish DPA considers that consent was not a valid legal basis given the clear imbalance between the data subject and the controller.
