Image Recognition
Although “biometric data” is a recognizable term to a legal professional, consumers aren’t as familiar with it—or with how such technology could be pivotal in shaping their daily lives and digital identities. As both workers and consumers of technology, just about everyone has had biometric data collected on some level—whether they know it or not. Despite these advances, though, biometric data aren’t completely reliant on an individual’s features and physical characteristics. Although they’re a less obvious example, a person’s behavioral attributes are a kind of biometric data. Although biometric data offers great potential, it also comes freighted with an inherent set of challenges and privacy pitfalls.
