Exceptions being obvious things like bathrooms

You arbitrarily decided what is "obvious". For me it's obvious for my right to privacy to be observed all the time.

I don't want my face to be sent to i.e. Amazon just because I am a courier delivering a package to your house.

I didn't arbitrarily decide anything. It's literally the law.

Edit: If you need help figuring out why a security camera in the bathroom might be a problem. There's no helping you.

Also you clearly didn't read my post at all. On my system, nothing is sent to anyone except me. And as far as you being a courier. Choose a different job if it bothers you. I have a right to know who's on my property... and oftentimes even a DUTY to know.

Edit2: Also there's no such right as "right to privacy". Which I even called out in my post. You have no right to privacy in public or on someone else's property.
