Biometric technology has become ubiquitous in modern life, whether it is through a finger scan to unlock a phone or enter a secure area at work, facial recognition to pass through airport security, or voice verification to confirm a bank transaction over the phone. The multi-billion dollar biometrics industry has grown dramatically over the last few years, driven largely by a demand for easier and more secure methods for identification and verification. As is often the case, however, innovations in the technology have far outpaced the law. As a result, companies that employ biometric technology with their customers, employees or consumers at large, may be unsure of how to comply with the various applicable laws when collecting, storing and using biometric data. Our Global Biometrics Guide provides guideposts for companies trying to comply with the existing and developing legal frameworks in Asia, the European Union, the Middle East, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
