I don't have an issue with the privacy part of it. For one thing when you're out in public you forfeit your privacy, and for another it's not like it's going to come back to bite you. There's plenty of situations like this, where data is supplied to studies from medical records or whatever without the subject's consent but they get around it by stripping any identifiable info such as biometrics. So you could be being analyzed as we speak without even knowing it.
But I'm thinking, just because your billboard turns heads, doesn't necessarily mean that's a good thing, nor that people will remember your product. For example, there's plenty of commercials on TV that grab my attention but I'll be damned if I got any product info from it... if I even noticed what they were trying to sell in the first place. But also some billboards grab attention for the wrong reasons.
