Auror Subject Recognition recognized by leading retail industry research group

GRAPEVINE, Texas – June 11, 2026 – Auror, the leading retail crime intelligence platform used by some of the largest retailers across the United States and around the world, was honored this week by the Loss Prevention Research Council (LPRC) for its responsible solution to help retailers manage facial recognition technology (FRT) in stores, strictly for crime prevention and safety purposes.

‍Auror Subject Recognition is an add-on module that wraps the data governance and safeguarded workflows around the FRT, allowing retailers to use their own existing information about serious offending to provide early notification to store teams. The system keeps a human in the loop on key decisions, provides full auditability, and scope is locked so it cannot be used for profiling or in-store tracking. Subject Recognition was awarded with this year’s LPRC Product Protection Summit Award, in the New Conceptual Solutions category, during the National Retail Federation’s NRF PROTECT 2026 event.

“We built Subject Recognition on the belief that facial recognition for retail settings can be designed and used responsibly,” said James Corbett, Auror’s co-founder and chief technology officer. “Subject Recognition wraps the workflow and data governance around the facial recognition technology to lock its use for crime prevention and safety purposes only, with a human in the loop at every key decision. We're honored that the LPRC has recognized our thoughtful approach to this technology, and we're grateful for the retailers who voted. Their confidence in Auror motivates us to demonstrate how responsible technology can keep frontline retail workers safe and create safer stores.”

LPRC noted that the solutions, ideas, and leadership demonstrated during NRF PROTECT 2026 “showcase the power of working together to address today’s retail challenges and shape a safer, more resilient future.”

"Our awards are voted on by retailers, providing a meaningful opportunity for organizations to receive recognition for their innovative approach to loss prevention and keeping stores safe,” said Dr. Justin Smith, senior research scientist, Loss Prevention Research Council. “Congratulations to Auror for being honored in the New Conceptional Solutions category by our retail members.”
