Re: Alexa, please explain...
Au contraire. In the UK there may be the expectation that you will be caught on CCTV but the use of FRT without notification is a clear case of unauthorised processing, particularly by a private entity, and so whether it takes 0.004 of a second or 4000 seconds to process the image its still unlawful.
Also for the purposes of DP law the data is still 'collected' even if the whole lifecycle of the process from collection to disposal is a fraction of a second.
Of course the easiest solution is proper signage but why would a multi million/billion AUS$ business bother with that as it will cost them to put the signs up and eat into their profit.
