If you were already a bit nervous about GDPR compliance... this will make you down right worried.

A regional authority in Sweden ran a trial in one of their schools, using facial recognition technology to record attendance - saving teachers time taking the roll.

The parents were notified and agreed to the trial.

But the regulator wasn't notified... and smacked them with a GBP16,800 fine!
