KNOW WHAT TO DO™

Know What They Are Collecting. Know When It Is Required. Know What Options You May Have.

Face scans, fingerprints, palm scans, voiceprints, and other biometric systems are becoming part of banking, travel, health care, employment, schools, entertainment, and online services.

The difficult part is knowing whether a biometric step is actually required, whether another verification method exists, what happens if you refuse, who receives the data, and how long it may be kept.

Biometrics explains those questions in plain English and shows readers how to identify the rule, policy, or procedure that actually applies before deciding what to do. 

What This Guide Covers

• What biometric data is and how biometric systems work.
• The difference between identification, verification, consent, notice, and opt-out.
• When biometric collection may be required and when alternatives may exist.
• Face scans and biometric processing at airports and during travel.
• Banks, financial services, and identity verification.
• Hospitals, health care, workplaces, schools, stores, venues, apps, and websites.
• State biometric privacy laws and why the rules differ by jurisdiction.
• False matches, retention, sharing, deletion, and breach concerns.
• How to document a refusal, denial, or biometric dispute.
• Complaint, privacy, records, and escalation procedures.

The finished guide contains 19 chapters plus definitions, a state-law comparison, authority index, and source-verification section.
