    Opt-in Consent Model

    Transparent Opt-in Consent

    Our opt-In consent model allows users to control their data and be aware of how it is being used, which increases transparency and trust between the user and their organization. It also helps to ensure that users are not being unknowingly tracked or profiled.

    Protecting Privacy Without Using or Retaining Images

    Our solution avoids privacy pitfalls by completing the facial authentication process without retaining or storing any images that could be used to identify an individual. The Rock creates a biometric facial template that is unique to each data subject. Only this facial template is stored to authenticate the user and the facial template cannot be reverse-engineered or otherwise reconstructed to recreate a user’s image.

    Encryption and Expiration

    Strongest Encryption & Profile Expiration

    We encrypt all digital facial templates using AES-256, the highest level of encryption available today. Our system offers an “auto delete” function to remove users (and their data) who have not accessed the system during a defined timeframe.

      No PII

      The Alcatraz AI solution collects the badge ID from your current Access Control System (ACS), but does not capture your name, gender, job title or any other personally identifiable information (PII).


    • Scans Your Face

      Scan & Link

      The Alcatraz Rock scans your face at the door or on a Rock enrollment reader. The hash data representation of your scan is linked to your badge ID making it possible to eliminate all images. 


    • Unreadable “Blob of Data”

      Blob of Data

      The scan instantly turns into a “blob of data” that is read by the Alcatraz AI algorithm. It is impossible for the “data blog” to ever be reconstituted into an image of your face.
