The National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (NTRA) in Egypt announced a new update to the "My NTRA" application that relies on facial recognition technology to verify citizens' identities when purchasing mobile lines or using the "Akrami" service. This update aims to enhance the protection of personal data by restricting access to the service to the registered owner according to the purchase contract, and prohibiting anyone other than the owner’s authorized personnel from accessing the identity details. The company clarified that the service allows users to view all their registered lines under their name, with a limit of up to 10 lines per company. It also emphasizes the necessity of registering lines under users' real names once they reach the legal age. This comes after the authority detected that some line owners could access other individuals' information by retrieving their national ID numbers, which led to a temporary suspension of the service. The service was later restored after a technical fix that blocks unknown numbers from being accessed. The new procedures underscore the importance of monitoring the usage of mobile lines and ensuring they are assigned to official individuals, to avoid losing the ability to identify line owners and to maintain legal accountability.
