biometric data policies

Biometric data policies govern how personal information derived from unique physical characteristics—like fingerprints, facial recognition, or iris scans—is collected, stored, and used. These policies aim to protect individuals' privacy and ensure that biometric data is handled responsibly. They outline who can access this data, how long it can be kept, and the measures in place to safeguard it from misuse. With the rise of technology using biometrics for identification and security, these policies are essential for protecting individuals from potential privacy violations and identity theft.
