Classic Cathay - if its not enough that they're trying to screw the pilots, now they're having a crack at PAX too.
...still, they are the only airline doing it. Privacy is now dead.

What a very confusing article, whose content appears to directly contradict its headline.
"Cathay Pacific is 'spying on you through in-flight entertainment and even recording your movement'"
"Our in-flight entertainment systems do not have any cameras, microphones or sensors to monitor passengers, nor have they in the past."

If you want to be blown away by how much one company can have on you, and what they can do with it without your permission, you only need to do some research on a company called NCR (National Cash Register).
They can track your spending patterns, catalog what you buy, where and when you buy it, and can then if you gave the store your phone number and used a bank card, can then track other things you bought with that card at other NCR machines, and in some cases geofence your phone number and target you with ads both online and in the street with digital ad frames. They also manufacture a lot of ATM machines which they also use to take your photo, and in many cases if you are using in store banking, your fingerprint.
It's too late at this stage to be worried about it.

Qantas and Sydney airport rolled out a nice little trial into facial recognition.
That the Australian government is yet to define precisely how biometric information is safeguarded, particularly as it relates to the collection and use by companies doesn't worry either company.

Please supply full details, preferably photographic or digital, [but only if relevant] of your alleged claim,, including confirmation of "girlfriend" [as opposed to cabin staff, or cockpit crew]

Farrell, I think you'll find that NCR does not collect that information as the point of sale devices and ATMs are not necessarily connected to NCR's systems. They are part of the retailer or bank networks so they can collect it
