Various businesses have a "take pictures of customers" policy. Medical offices are one example, due to insurance fraud they say. They typically don't ask. They simply tell the customer that they are about to take a picture and it is over before they know it.

When I spot such a camera I stand to the side so they have to ask me to move in front of the camera. Which is when I politely refuse to participate. They don't like that very much. Last time, the person made a "well you might not be able to refuse next time" remark. He may be correct, or not, we'll see.

These are cases where the images should never be uploaded to a public database or shared with any other parties. However, given the increasing use of SaaS and cloud providers, exposure to some third-parties is highly likely. Any consumer information hitting the cloud is at high risk of abuse.

In addition to those scenarios you have cameras behind ATMs, cameras embedded within grocery store self-checkout lines, etc and so forth. It has already become difficult to control your image and, in some cases, prevent that image from being combined with other personally identifiable information.

Even gym memberships require this in some places. Soon one would need to provide facial 3D scan just to buy groceries.
