\u201cTo clarify, our customers (in Macau, the US and any other markets we serve) use our platform to better manage, track and report on their own incident-related data. They do not use the platform to share or access proprietary information between different companies \u2013 they simply have the option to share information within a closed environment, i.e. the same company, and only if permission is given from all parties. Additionally, none of our customers in Macau currently use the Facial Recognition module in our iTrak Incident Reporting and Risk Management System”, informs the statement signed by Mark Kornegay, CRO of Omnigo Software, and directed to Macau News Agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
