Summary
Disneyland announced that visitors to its parks can optionally use face recognition technology to enter, though the company notes that visitors may still have their images captured even if they choose lanes without face recognition systems. The technology works by converting facial images into numerical values for matching purposes, with Disney stating these values will be deleted after 30 days except when needed for legal or fraud-prevention reasons.
