I think the problem is that it is storing the user faces, at all. If it were simple identifying each person’s characteristics there would be no reason to save that data for later. Also, apparently the company advertises that the machine does transmit this data for estimating age and gender for every purchase.
That’s your claim though. They are storing “male, 24” and that’s it, no face. Of course they could be lying and actually are storing faces, but it doesn’t look like it. And it’s also perfectly valid to object to them storing even “male, 24”.
