biometric data protections

Biometric data protections involve safeguarding unique physical or behavioral identifiers—like fingerprints, facial features, or voice patterns—that are used for identification. Laws and policies require organizations to handle this sensitive data securely, limit access, and obtain proper consent before collecting it. They also emphasize utility, ensuring data is used only for its intended purpose, and enforce measures like encryption and secure storage to prevent unauthorized access or misuse. Overall, these protections aim to respect individual privacy rights while allowing the benefits of biometric technologies.
