The National Commission for data Protection (CNIL) published, 1125, the development of the camera "increased" to evaluate customers to be TaMerance and Rights [1].

Crustissiology of watching prevention

Historically, was judged in smoking "

This system presents its promoters as a technical reaction to the difficulties encountered by tabonists under the control of age, especially when customers refuse or forget to present identity documents. The aimed goal is to improve cash registers, while reducing illegal sales for minorsviolation of the ban on sales to minors.

The technology to respect the general data protection rules: No passage states, never prepared, there is no access to an external server.Analysis is completely performed in the device.Legitimate legal objection.

Significant risks for personal freedom

If the purpose of the protein 'protection is the cnil's addition, for the principal treatment, privacy, privacy, placed the principal, placed by tabaconists do not provide for the client of the customer, as inthe case of the Netherlands.

One of the first reasons for concerns is that there is no specific legal basis that this type of device is in the commercial context.The simple public health interest by CILN is not sufficient to protect a generalized event from such disturbed technologies without a clear legal framework, offense and limited time.Conditions defined by European law.

CNIL also marks the risk of algorithmic side.According to the types of defect accords according to age, gender, or ethnic origin could be observed, to control minors, and reduces the effectiveness of the system.

Above all, CNIL recalls that these devices cannot replace the legal liability of tobacco -concrete's responsibility: the systematic verification of each customer age, most of which are obscure.By the time of the National Smoking Committee (CNCT), two -thirds of Tubacan were selling tobacco to the minors, contrary to the law.Displaying these tools is only a tool.The result of the result: Refusal to sale on the seller.

CNIL promotes a possible technical option: "Mini-sentences".The system developed by the European Commission will allow customers to prove the customers in the test process that they prove the main, without identity infection they use digital tools.

Finally, the introduction of these devices in current consumption increases the generalization of the means to decisively accept or realize their rights.Therefore, it adheres to the absolute demand for the client, clear information about the work of the system, and the ability to appeal effectively in case of disputes.
