Biometrics and Privacy

Biometrics refers to the measurement and analysis of unique physical or behavioral characteristics, such as fingerprints, facial recognition, or voice patterns, used for identification and authentication. While biometrics can enhance security and convenience, it raises privacy concerns, as personal data can be exploited or misused. The collection and storage of biometric information can lead to potential breaches, surveillance, or unauthorized access if not properly protected. Balancing the benefits of biometric technology with privacy rights is essential to ensure individual security without compromising personal freedoms.
