Facial Recognition Technology (FRT)

FRT & privacy

Computer-vision systems that detect and match faces against a registered list. In NSW gaming, FRT is increasingly used to support self-exclusion participant identification at the gaming-area entry — one mechanism for satisfying the GMR cl.45(e) 'readily identify the participant' requirement. Not a regulatory requirement; one option alongside human staff identification, ID-card scanning and door-staff visual recognition.

This term sits in the FRT & privacy section of the working glossary — vocabulary covering facial-recognition controls and the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), including the Australian Privacy Principles and the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme.
