Biometric Privacy

Biometric privacy refers to the protection of personal data derived from unique biological traits, such as fingerprints, facial recognition, and iris scans. In the context of privacy rights law, it emphasizes individuals' rights to control how their biometric information is collected, stored, and used. Laws in some regions require companies to obtain consent before gathering biometric data, ensuring people are informed about its potential risks. The aim is to prevent misuse, identity theft, and unauthorized surveillance, thereby safeguarding personal privacy in an increasingly digital world.
