Tinkoff Bank asked clients for consent to process their photographs taken when checking out products to be converted into biometric data format.
The bank has 30 million clients. This is a large amount of data, but, according to Kommersant, most clients still have a negative attitude towards this. In order not to get into the EBS, users must refuse by contacting the bank.
We are talking about photographs that the courier took when receiving the card, or about me, taken through video calls or using Face ID. Until the agreement is reached, this is just a photo. After the user’s permission, the bank makes a digital impression based on the photo.
This will allow you to quickly confirm the transaction and protect you from fraudsters,” the bank explained. However, the alert bank published the information in Stories at the top of its app.
What customers are most unhappy with is that at the beginning of Tinkoff, there is only one choice available – the “allow” button. They don’t understand how to choose to refuse. The publication reports that “revocation of the protocol for processing biometric data” is a refusal sent through the Russian Post or through a personal appeal to the bank. [Коммерсантъ]
