The AFP has suspended the use of surveillance platform Auror after a freedom of information request revealed that more than 100 of its staff had used the platform without considering privacy or security implications.

Little-known “crime intelligence” platform Auror is used in 40% of Australian stores, like Woolworths and Coles, that the company claims can be used to predict crime.

If you’ve bought groceries, filled your car with petrol or shopped at a major Australian retailer recently, chances are you’ve probably been surveilled by a company using Auror.
