Xiaopeng Automobile was fined 100,000 yuan in response to collecting face data: the Shanghai store mistakenly bought a third-party device, and the data was deleted

Sanyan Finance December 14 news, Tianyancha App shows that recently, Shanghai Xiaopeng Automobile Sales Service Co., Ltd. was fined 100,000 yuan by xuhui district market supervision and administration bureau. The reason for the punishment was that the parties purchased 22 camera devices with facial recognition functions and installed them in their stores, so as to count the number of people entering the store and analyze the proportion of men and women, age, etc. From January to June this year, a total of 431623 face photos were collected and uploaded. This act violates the Consumer Rights and Interests Protection Law without obtaining the consent of the consumer, nor does it explicitly or inform the consumer of the purpose of collection and use.

According to Sina Auto, Xiaopeng Motors responded that the incident was due to the fact that the stores in the Shanghai area were unfamiliar with the relevant legal provisions and mistakenly purchased and used the products of third-party suppliers (Yolok) who violated the relevant legal terms.

Xiaopeng Automobile said it fully obeyed the administrative punishment. Before the Shanghai Municipal Supervision Bureau inspected, the Shanghai store voluntarily removed all the collection equipment through internal self-inspection and self-correction. The face data provided by the third-party software has been completely deleted, and Xiaopeng Motors has not leaked or illegally used personal information, and only uses non-personally related digital data such as passenger flow visits as a reference for business conditions.
