What the hell is this? How can they even do this without getting deleted.

I'm not sure I understood it correctly. Do people just need to just look at the mirrored surface to get scanned, and they get a coin?

You don't know and don't have an account your bad! We have your eyes now!

Or do people need to read a privacy policy and accept everything before they get scanned?
