Biometric data privacy

Biometric data privacy refers to the protection of personal information derived from unique physical or behavioral traits, such as fingerprints, facial recognition, or voice patterns. This data is increasingly used for identification and security purposes. However, because biometric traits can't be changed like passwords, if they are stolen or misused, the consequences can be severe. Ensuring biometric privacy involves secure storage, informed consent, and stringent regulations to prevent unauthorized access and misuse of this sensitive information, thus safeguarding individual identity and personal security.
