NEW YORK (WABC) — There are new details on what Wegmans does with its biometric data of shoppers.
Signs at the Brooklyn and Manhattan stores say facial recognition, eye scans and voiceprints are kept to increase security.
When Wegmans originally launched a pilot program, management said any data of shoppers would be deleted.
Some customers complain the policy makes them feel uneasy.
Legislation in the City Council to block biometric storage has stalled for years.
