The DGTeens AI dashcam uses facial recognition to identify the driver and link behaviors to their profile. Depending on your state, explicit consent is legally required before this feature activates.
The driver-facing camera identifies the driver's face and links AI-detected events (phone use, eye closure, hard braking, distraction) to that driver's individual safety profile. This allows the program to generate a personalized driving score and coaching content for your specific teen driver.
Facial geometry data is processed on secure servers and used only for driver behavior matching within your DGTeens account. It is never sold, shared with insurers, used for advertising, or disclosed to any third party.
📋 If you do not consent to facial recognition, the dashcam will continue to monitor and record driving events — but events will not be linked to a specific driver identity. Your safety score may be less accurate if multiple people drive the vehicle.
Biometric data laws vary significantly by state. Find your state below to understand what applies to you.
Illinois has the most stringent biometric data law in the country. Written, informed consent is required before any facial geometry data can be collected. Illinois residents have a private right of action and may recover $1,000–$5,000 per violation.
Illinois residents must complete and sign the additional written consent section below. Facial recognition will not activate until this is on file.
These states require explicit opt-in consent before facial recognition data is collected. The acknowledgment below satisfies this requirement. Texas also prohibits the sale of biometric identifiers (we do not sell any data). Colorado (effective 2025) bans the sale of biometric data and requires consent before collection. Oregon requires consumer opt-in before collecting face, eye, or voice data.
California requires commercial entities to follow strict consent rules for biometric data. Washington prohibits certain uses of facial recognition without consent. The acknowledgment below satisfies requirements in both states.
While your state may not have a specific biometric privacy law, we require all customers to complete this acknowledgment as a standard practice. Over 20 states have some form of biometric restriction, and federal legislation is under ongoing development. We treat all customers with the same privacy protections regardless of state.
⚠️ Illinois Residents — Additional Written Consent Required (BIPA)
Under the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act, you must provide written informed consent acknowledging: (1) that biometric data is being collected; (2) the specific purpose and length of collection; and (3) that data will be destroyed when the program ends. By checking the box below you are providing this written consent as required by BIPA.
