> Cadillac Fairview said the images taken by camera were briefly analyzed then deleted — but investigators found that the sensitive biometric information generated from the images was being stored in a centralized database by a third party.

The images are not being persisted, just the metadata about the individual. Who is being harmed by this? If a person with a clipboard collecting this information without telling anyone, is there any outrage?

The pictures are not what matter, what matters is the "face features <-> data" association.

The harm ? With that data, any camera in the world pointed at you can find what you did in that store.

I'm outraged every single time I am accosted by someone with a clip board. Not once, ever, have I been remotely concerned with their concerns.
