“#Amazon will pay you $10 to scan your palm: report<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Your one-of-a-kind palm print is worth $10 in store credit, according to Amazon.<\/p>\n

The Seattle-based e-tailing giant is offering customers the incentive to enroll in a program called Amazon One, through which users can pay for goods at its stores by scanning their palm prints instead of using physical credit cards, TechCruch reported<\/a>. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The Post first broke news<\/a> of Amazon\u2019s palm payment initiative in 2019, and the company started rolling out the feature in Seattle stores last September. <\/p>\n

Now, the creepily convenient service is available at six Amazon stores in New York City and 47 other Amazon stores throughout the country, according to Amazon One\u2019s website<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Users who sign up and link their palms to their credit cards will receive $10 in store credit, according to a screenshot taken by TechCrunch and posted Monday.<\/p>\n

As of Tuesday morning, Amazon One app<\/a>eared to have taken the promotion down from its website but did not reply to a request for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to Amazon, the feature \u201cuses the information embedded in your palm to create a unique palm signature that it can read each and every time you use it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Since customers\u2019 palms are linked to their Amazon accounts, the company may use the data it collects to target ads and shopping recommendations. Amazon will only delete customers\u2019 \u201cpalm signatures\u201d if users explicitly close their accounts or do not use the feature for two years, according to the company.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cYour palm is a personal part of you and you alone decide when to hover it, and when to keep it private,\u201d reads the Amazon One website.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The company \u2014 which reported weaker-than-expected earnings in the second quarter \u2014 has previously caught flak from civil liberties activists for selling controversial facial recognition software to police. Amazon suspended police use of its facial recognition software during the George Floyd protests last year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Some activists have raised similar privacy and civil liberties concerns about the company\u2019s palm signature push.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBiometric data is one of the only ways that companies and governments can track us permanently,\u201d Albert Fox Cahn, the executive director of the Surveillance Technology<\/a> Oversight Project told TechCrunch. \u201cYou can change your name, you can change your Social<\/a> Security number, but you can\u2019t change your palm print.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s horrifying that Amazon is asking people to sell their bodies, but it\u2019s even worse that people are doing it for such a low price,\u201d Cahn added.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
