Episode 85 — Biometric Privacy: IL BIPA, WA, TX, and Related Statutes

Biometric privacy laws impose strict requirements on collecting and using data such as fingerprints, facial recognition, and iris scans. This episode covers the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA), which requires consent, disclosure, and safeguards, as well as similar statutes in Washington and Texas. We’ll also review the growing number of lawsuits and settlements under BIPA, which highlight the risks of noncompliance.

These laws illustrate how biometric data is treated as highly sensitive and often subject to private rights of action. For the exam, focus on the core elements of biometric statutes and their enforcement impact. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com
