            <p>Clearview AI, a facial recognition company, has won the appeal over a GBP 7.5 million 
                <a href="https://sp-edge.com/updates/10647"> fine and privacy sanctions imposed </a> 
                by the UK's Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) in May 2022.
            </p>
        </li>
        <li>
            <p>The appeal was based on jurisdiction grounds, as the tribunal ruled that Clearview AI's services do not fall under UK data protection law due to an exemption related to foreign law enforcement.&nbsp;</p>
        </li>
        <li>
            <p>Clearview AI has argued that it exclusively serves foreign law enforcement and national security entities, using foreign IP addresses and supporting foreign governments in national security and criminal law enforcement.&nbsp;</p>
        </li>
    </ul>
</div> <p><b>Analyst QuickTake: </b> Clearview AI has faced enforcement actions not only in the UK, but also in other European countries like <a href="https://sp-edge.com/updates/18447"> France </a> , <a href="https://sp-edge.com/updates/8993"> Italy </a> , and <a href="https://sp-edge.com/updates/11625"> Greece </a> under the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which forms the basis for the UK's data protection laws.&nbsp;</p>
