In our synthetic Chicago replay, a 0.83 facial-recognition score still gets BLOCKED. 🛑 The vendor score is strong. Consent is missing. No number from a recognition vendor can replace that permission. FaceTrust demonstrates the Biometric Decision Firewall between an alert and the people expected to act on it. It checks whether the scan is allowed before the alert reaches a trained reviewer. Here, the answer is simple: do not act on it. For loss-prevention, privacy, and security teams, that decision belongs in the workflow, before a biometric alert becomes a people problem. We'd start the next biometric vendor review with one shared checklist item: name the team responsible for enforcing BLOCK when consent is absent, before the alert reaches store operations. #BiometricPrivacy #FacialRecognition #LossPrevention #PrivacyEngineering
