Biometric Data Protection

Biometric data protection involves safeguarding personal information derived from unique physical traits, like fingerprints, facial recognition, or iris scans. This data is sensitive because it cannot be changed like a password. Protecting it means ensuring that such information is collected, stored, and used securely to prevent unauthorized access and identity theft. Laws and regulations often govern how organizations handle biometric data, emphasizing consent and the right to privacy. The goal is to balance technological advancements in security with individuals' rights to keep their personal information safe from misuse.
