Data Protection | Biometric Data

The use of biometric data by organisations is on the increase and demand for this data is expected to grow exponentially in coming years.

Use of technology such as facial recognition, fingerprints and retinal scans are being justified across various sectors with an increasing number of use cases being identified by employers who seek to use this technology to monitor employees.

Biometric data is special category data which requires additional protection under data protection law.
