The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has fundamentally changed the way companies handle personal data. Especially when counting people in public spaces, the protection of privacy is of crucial importance. Camera-based systems quickly reach their limits here. With the PMX TCR, PMX Systems offers an innovative solution that combines GDPR compliance and precise counting results.
The PMX TCR: anonymous, precise, future-proof
Our PMX TCR radar counter detects flows of people without storing images or biometric data. The technology is based on the evaluation of radar signals that do not allow any conclusions to be drawn about the identity of the people detected. This protects people's privacy and at the same time collects valuable data for smart city or smart tourism applications.
Advantages of the PMX TCR with regard to the GDPR
- Anonymity: No storage of personal data such as faces or license plates.
- Transparency: The way the system works is clear and comprehensible.
- Data minimization: Only the data required for the purpose of the count is recorded.
- Earmarking: The data is used for the defined purposes (e.g. traffic control, urban planning).
- Security: Data transmission is encrypted via LoRaWAN®.
