To address concerns about persons who have not expressly opted into Wicket Access, Wicket has implemented controls to ensure that unconsented images are not captured or stored. Wicket ensures that all authentication solutions (access control, ticketing, payments, etc.) are equipped with identification zone technology that allows front, rear, and side boundaries to be configured so that only the person making an access attempt is targeted within the frame.
Additionally, edge devices for these solutions perform real-time analytics such that matched images are securely sent to the cloud server, and background or passive images are deleted. All images retained as part of access decisions are purged from the system per the client’s or Wicket’s terms and conditions, whichever retention policy is shorter.
