The FTC issued its consent order against Clearview in March 2022. The order barred Clearview from selling or giving away access to its facial-recognition database to any private entity and required the deletion of images and data collected from consumers, settling allegations that the company's practices violated consumer-privacy law. The FTC found that Clearview had collected facial images without consent, had marketed the product to private entities (including a reported outreach to a [[Macy's|Macy's]] executive and the use of the product by a [[Kohl's|Kohl's]] loss-prevention team), and had failed to implement adequate privacy safeguards.[^3][^8]
The Illinois [[Biometric Information Privacy Act|Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA)]] produced a separate settlement in May 2022, in which Clearview agreed to restrict its use of collected face images in Illinois and to honor an opt-out mechanism for residents. The company withdrew from the European Union, the United Kingdom, and Canada after regulatory action in each jurisdiction. The combined regulatory record left Clearview's law-enforcement and government business intact while constraining its commercial and international operations.[^8][^9]
