Security Systems: Are Facial Recognition Systems Linked To Authorities?

"All data is stored locally and securely, and not accessible outside the company".
Here we refer back to the difference between identification and verification. While some public CCTV systems may have had facial recognition tied in to them as part of a trial for identification (such as in South Wales), it has been deemed that there is currently insufficient legal and policy framework for this to be permitted.
When it comes to access control and verification as you might use within your company, all data is stored locally and securely, and not accessible outside the company.
