American Civil Liberties Union, An Ethical Framework for Facial Recognition (May 2014) (full-text).

Overview
The framework recommends strict standards for the use, notice, and consent, including that users of facial recognition technology should


 * not use the technology to determine an individual's race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or age;
 * prominently notify individuals when facial recognition is in operation;
 * obtain specific consent from an individual before storing a photograph or faceprint of that person or sharing any facial recognition data with a third party;
 * allow individuals to access, correct, and delete their faceprint information; and
 * consider what special precautions might be needed when using a facial recognition system with teenagers.
