ZIPCAR benefit concerns - facial recognition

[WayneD503875]

This has to do with our car rental benefits, specifically the Zipcar benefit / option.

In Illinois there is a law that provides for opting out of facial

recognition, it’s called BIPA. We tried to join Zipcar directly, not yet

thru AARP and they had a bogus compliance situation whereby you had to

provide a selfie photo to them and "then they would opt you out".

Well of course that’s backwards and basically they and their vendors

have then done facial recognition.

Naturally, in these times of heightened security and privacy concerns,

that’s not acceptable and the reason behind BIPA. Have you encountered

this situation thru the AARP beenefit, and can you advise if we can join Zipcar without submitting a selfie?

Thanks
