A security guard at ASDA has put an end to the rumours about "face scanning" cameras on supermarket check-outs, after a shopper posted on Facebook about the supermarket harvesting data on shoppers.
The cameras are commonplace in most large supermarkets, and allow shoppers to see a real-time video of themselves scanning their items and paying. In a now viral Facebook video, one shopper filmed herself at self-checkout and shared it to express concerns.
In the video, the unnamed shopper points out that when you're going through self-checkout, ASDA will have access to your card info, what you've bought, and an image of your face. However, a security guard at the supermarket has weighed in, NorthWalesLive reports.
