Facial recognition technology is a biometric-based technology that processes sensitive personal data, namely biometric data, and thus constitutes a limitation of the right to privacy. Moreover, with reference to its most alarming applications, this technique operates on the basis of a generalised and indiscriminate collection of biometric data, and thus holds a prominent place in the context of state and non-state electronic surveillance measures. The serious absence, at international and European level, of a clear and uniform legal framework on the legitimate use of facial recognition technologies has been denounced in many contexts. This paper aspires to assess the validity of this assumption, in order to understand whether, and if so within what limits, the use of facial recognition technology can be considered compatible with the system of the European Convention on Human Rights and with European Union law; and whether, consequently, specific legislation aimed at sanctioning its lawfulness or unlawfulness is actually necessary or even desirable.
