Appearance Recognition in BluSKY (Standard Form)

Proof of Presence vs. Biometric Data

Like many modern security systems, BluSKY captures a proof-of-presence photo when someone uses a Person Reader. This is part of the security protocol:

• It shows who was physically present at the moment of entry.
• It links the photo to the access event (badge swipe, phone credential, QR code, PIN, or face recognition).
• It allows security teams to detect if someone is using a badge or credential that does not match the person presenting it.
• What BluSKY does not do: we do not store or use face measurements—like the distance between your eyes, or a “blueprint” of your face—that could be reverse-engineered. Instead, appearance recognition works by converting your image into a secure, dynamic code that has no meaning outside the system.

You’re in Control

Every individual decides for themselves whether to use appearance recognition.

• Opt in or out at any time: Simply present your credential at a Person Reader and say you’d like to use your face—or not use it.
• Use it your way: You can choose appearance recognition by itself or in combination with your other credentials, like a card, phone, QR code, or PIN.
• Your comfort level matters: If you prefer to use only your card or phone, you can do that. If you want the convenience of face-based check-in, that’s available too.

Why People Choose It

Opting into appearance recognition makes access and check-in fast, seamless, and secure.

• No fumbling for your badge or phone.
• Instant recognition at any Person Reader.
• Enrollment happens automatically—nothing extra to do.
• It’s safe, private, and completely your choice.

✅ Bottom line: BluSKY’s appearance recognition provides the convenience of using your face as your identity, without the privacy risks of traditional biometrics. You remain in control, your data cannot be reverse-engineered, and proof-of-presence photos serve only as part of the building or facility’s security protocol.
