Explanation

The Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) regulates the collection, storage, and use of biometric identifiers and biometric information, such as fingerprints, retina scans, and facial recognition data. However, BIPA does not regulate photographs, as they are explicitly excluded from the definition of "biometric identifiers" under the law. Key Definitions Under BIPA: Biometric Identifier: Includes fingerprints, retina or iris scans, voiceprints, and scans of hand or face geometry. Biometric Information: Refers to any information derived from biometric identifiers. BIPA explicitly excludes certain types of data from regulation, such as photographs, writing samples, and physical descriptions.
