Facial Recognition Systems
A facial image can be considered biometric data when technically processed for the unique identification or verification of a person's identity.
Biometric data are special categories of personal data. Therefore, the solution should be evaluated with the institution's legal/Personal Data Protection Board unit before the project in terms of necessity, purpose limitation, proportionality, personal data processing conditions, less intrusive alternatives, storage, and access security.

Legal Basis and Proportionality
Facial recognition is not the default solution for every access or security scenario.
Alternative Verification Methods
If legal basis and proportionality cannot be ensured, alternative methods such as card, mobile identity, or staff verification should be preferred.
