Biometric Privacy

Biometric privacy laws regulate how companies handle sensitive personal identifiers like facial scans, fingerprints and voiceprints. In the U.S., Illinois’ BIPA has led to landmark litigation and multimillion-dollar settlements, setting a precedent for consent, data retention and security standards. Other states and countries are following suit with their own biometric requirements. This page covers key lawsuits, regulatory action and compliance best practices in the biometrics space.

Search Primer

Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.

Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "China import").

Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead.

Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., +CBP).

Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., -ruling).

Singular form: Always use the singular form when doing multi-word terms (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls").

Shortest word form: When you have different word forms in a quoted (multi-word) term, you want to only include the shortest version if it is the last part of the expression (e.g., "entity list" instead of "entity listing" or "entity listed").
