GDPR-proof facial recognition with existing IP cameras

First of all, it is important to know that Vaidio Face Recognition may and can only be applied under strict conditions and after approval of a prepared DPIA.

Vaidio also facilitates all the functionality required to work in compliance with the AVG/GDPR legislation. Indeed, Vaidio offers the possibility to blur and anonymise personal data such as faces, features, etc. The edited video clips can then be downloaded for use. Thus, Vaidio does not store any personal data of individuals. In addition, the platform offers an audit log to record user activity, including time stamping. Thereby, it is possible to assign specific rights to users of the platform.

Processing takes place in real-time, where in the standard server capacity calculation we assume an image quality of 1920×1080 pixels at 20 frames per second. However, Vaidio can do real-time processing of images up to a resolution of 32 megapixels.

When reading video files, the processing time depends on the amount of AI features to be analysed and the amount of “traffic” in the images present.

No, Vaidio itself does not do any recording of camera streams. Only metadata is generated and stored. In fact, each end user has its own PostgreSQL database in which the generated metadata is optionally (this is a setting within Vaidio) stored. Passwords and other critical data are stored encrypted in the database.

At VAIBS, we understand the importance of the European AI Act and its impact on AI developments within Europe. For Vaidio, this means that we are constantly reviewing and adapting our AI solutions to meet the AI Act’s specific requirements for different levels of risk. This includes implementing transparency obligations for low-risk systems and complying with stringent requirements for high-risk AI applications. Our goal is not only to comply with regulations, but also to ensure the trust of our users and partners by providing ethical and responsible AI solutions.
