RICA - Spar Mobile unauthorized to harvest biometric selfie photos.

Legal RICA regulations do NOT require nor authorize Spar Mobile's creepy mission-creep procedures to harvest biometric selfie photos; yet they insist. Multiple interactions with their AI app plus officials result in them parrotting their Knowledge Base and MISSING THE LEGALITY SUBSTANCE issue. If the purpose is to confirm identity, this is already achieved by other ISPs with a) copy of ID book / ID card, b) proof of address c) SIM card serial within the scope of legal RICA rules. There are POPIA related privacy issues. South Africa is a signatory to the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR). Spar Mobile does NOT describe the selfie as a biometric photo nor advise upon a retention expiry date. Hackers could have a field day manipulating personal information or even selling it. Sooner or later, the Ombudsman plus Attorneys could also get involved.
