True, and they do use normal surveillance cameras too. Personally I am interested in facial recognition systems as I've seen the back-end of facial recognition systems in other retailers and it was incredibly creepy. They may not actually be keeping track of card #s the same way other stores do*, the biggest red flag in the statement to me is it doesn't rule out more general demographics tracking tech, which is something I don't think is covered by the legislation. There may be a little bit of a language barrier in this exchange as well. But I think most people aren't very aware of even what privacy laws exist, compared to eg. the GDPR which is quite common to hear about online.
*(I want to try something similar for Mark's since they can be seen tracking card #s in a very overt way.)
