Biometric information is data about you that is unique and difficult or impossible to change. For example, the fingerprints on your fingers, your voice, the contours of your face and your retinal shape are all unique to you. This data is increasingly used to identify you so that you can gain access to a device that you own or access a facility where you work. Unfortunately, this data could be misused or hacked, getting into the wrong hands or being shared without your permission. If this happens, you need a biometric information privacy act lawyer.
If you believe that your biometric data has been stolen, it is important for you to have legal representation in order to protect your rights to privacy and management of your own data. If you believe that your biometric data has been misused by an agency you permitted to collect it, you also need to have legal representation. Misuse of biometric data could amount to unlawful search and seizure, which violates your Constitutional rights.
When an agency, company or individual is able to gain access to your biometric information, your identity could be stolen. Your personal information, accounts and security could be compromised. You might lose access to devices or even lose your ability to prove who you are. By taking action to protect your biometric data, you can preserve your privacy and identity against misuse, theft and sharing without your permission. Our attorney can advise you about your rights and represent you in court or negotiations.
