Convenience stores and supermarkets are spaces where customers and employees interact closely, making them a frequent site for theft and disputes. Even in shared spaces equipped with CCTV, such as checkout counters, display shelves, parking lots, and entrances, blind spots exist where customers cannot see each other, potentially leading to theft or misunderstandings between customers and employees. While CCTV footage can be crucial evidence in the event of an accident, providing it can expose sensitive information, such as customers' faces, payment information, and vehicle license plates, potentially raising legal liability concerns. Conversely, failing to provide footage can delay the handling of theft cases or dispute resolution, potentially leading to customer complaints, civil complaints, and even lawsuits.
(Note: As of the end of 2024, the number of convenience stores in South Korea reached approximately 55,800, representing a very high density of one per 920 people. This represents a slight increase from 55,580 in 2023, with four brands—CU, GS25, 7-Eleven, and E-Mart 24—dominantly dominating the market.

This situation places a burden on both convenience store and supermarket operators. While they have a duty to protect employees and customers, they are also vulnerable to legal disputes and privacy violations. Especially in cases of repeated theft or sensitive disputes, quickly reviewing CCTV footage and securing evidence is key to resolving the issue. However, legal burdens often discourage operators from responding quickly.
Implementing an AI mosaic system can effectively mitigate these issues. Sensitive information, such as customer faces, payment information, and vehicle license plates, is automatically de-identified in the video, allowing convenience stores and supermarkets to immediately review CCTV footage without legal risk and, if necessary, safely provide it to the police or insurance companies . This protects the safety and rights of both customers and employees, and allows operators to respond quickly to theft and disputes.

South Korea's Personal Information Protection Act presents a dilemma: whether you show it or not, you face a lawsuit, and whether you don't, you face a fine. In other words, individuals can personally view their own CCTV footage. However, if others are also filmed, they can only view it after obtaining prior consent or ensuring their identities are unidentifiable.
CCTV Personal Information Protection – Safety Devices Lead to Regulatory Shackles (1)
APT : Experts say, “AI real-time mosaic is a protective shield for both management offices and residents” (2)
Banks : Failure to confirm CCTV after an accident is a cause of distrust in services (3)
Schools : Despite safety responsibilities, legal and administrative burdens limit functions (4)
Hospitals : Failure to protect patient information leads to serious sanctions (5)
Hotels : CCTV operation ensures safety, but also risks invasion of privacy (6)
Golf courses : Failure to secure footage in conflict situations lowers operator trust (7)
Parking lots : Delayed confirmation of accident footage leads to controversy over legal responsibility (9)
Public : CCTV is particularly highly reliant on civil complaints and traffic sites (10)
