@Real_King_Elvis Every store will put the card surcharge onto the price of everything, just to make sure they cover their costs of most pay with card. Which they do.
“…3.85 A ‘fair means’ of collection also extends to the obligation not to use means that are unreasonably intrusive. For example, collection may be by unfair means (some may also be unlawful) if it involves:
•excessive collection of personal information
•collecting personal information of an unnecessarily sensitive nature.”
“…collecting more personal information than is required for a function or activity. For example, collecting all information entered on an individual’s driver licence when the purpose is to establish if the individual is aged 18 years or over.”
“3.28 The following are instances in which the OAIC has previously ruled that a collection of personal information was not reasonably necessary for an entity’s function or activity:”
@PlayStationAU currently offers 2 methods of age verification in order to play 18+ games. Both options force a facial scan, which @getyoti states may include biometric data. @sonyaustralia may be in violation of OIAC guidelines unless they offer a less intrusive option.
“3.26 Proportionality is implicit in this ‘reasonably necessary’ requirement, and requires entities to take a data minimisation approach.[15] Data collected should be relevant, minimal, and not excessive. Data minimisation is an important risk mitigation measure and represents best practice for APP entities.” 2/5
@PlayStationAU Can you give Australians an option to verify their age without a facial scan? The Australian government does not specify that biometrics must be used to verify age.
