Answer

Are AI cameras in Mallorca allowed to use facial recognition?

AI-supported cameras in Mallorca must follow Spanish and EU data protection rules, especially when the processing is considered high risk. The key issue is whether the system only detects objects and crowds or whether it also uses biometric functions such as facial recognition. If biometric analysis is involved, a clear legal basis and strict oversight are especially important.
