Biometric Data Privacy Basics

Handle biometric data responsibly

This guide explains responsible handling of biometric data: obtain explicit consent, minimize collection, secure storage with encryption, limit access, and delete data on request or when no longer needed.

Get explicit consent

Inform users why and how biometric data is used; record consent separately.

Minimize and protect

Collect only what is required; encrypt at rest and in transit; restrict access.

Define retention and deletion

Set short retention periods and honor deletion requests promptly.

Audit and comply

Document processors, run audits, and align with local biometric laws.
