#2>The company also argued shoppers were made aware of the activity through decals it had placed on shopping mall entry doors that referred to Cadillac Fairview's privacy policy.
Do what now? Physical spaces have privacy policies? We're really sleepwalking into a dystopia. If you don't like the privacy policy of your shopping mall, you're free to shop... online, where they get even more behavioral data on you. Yikes.

It’s crazy that their lawyers think that merely referring to a privacy policy via a decal on the door is adequate acceptance of this kind of intrusion. I thought the laws required explicit acceptance online, via a check box on sign up, along with emailed updates when the policy changes. Merely walking through a door cannot possibly be construed to be explicit acceptance.

indeed, I almost fell off my chair : ) If we do not read it in comfort of our home, why would one do so walking into the mall.... and there is not even a precedent to do so....

Hey, if you don't like what your local shopping mall is doing, build your own!

Or even better, stop patronizing it and contribute to its crumbling real estate value.

Not sure about the privacy laws in Canada, but are there any laws against video recording and/or facial recognition? AFAIK by default they're fair game because there's no expectation of privacy while in public.

In Canada, do you even really have a right to privacy when in public spaces like a shopping mall? Is there even a legal expectation that there aren't cameras doing this kind of thing all the time? In most places in the US I know there isn't a right to privacy within a public space. If I as a shop owner put up security cameras in this same fashion in most of the US this wouldn't be against the law. There's no law preventing me from putting up cameras all along my home looking out into the street doing the same.
