A unique, identifying physical pattern captured from a specific person's body, such as a fingerprint, retina scan, or voiceprint; Illinois's Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) is a real example of a state law that requires written consent before a business collects a biometric identifier, including a voiceprint.
Under statutes like BIPA, a physiological measurement used to identify a person, including a scan of facial geometry, a voiceprint, a fingerprint, and a retina or iris scan. AI features that derive these from images, audio, or video collect biometric identifiers and trigger biometric privacy law.
Data like fingerprints, voiceprints, or retina patterns; added as a protected "personal information" category under the amended COPPA Rule (2025).
