who do you mean with "our"? where I live there are a lot of family owned businesses who export worldwide and often the owner of the business has worked there in his younger years and only inherited (not sure if that's the right word) the business after the original owner died/retired.
that's scary to hear. where I live there was a very short lived experiment with facial recognition at a train station and when it ended it showed that the general public was not in favour of it.
