Illinois Privacy Rights Lawyers
Did a business scan your fingerprint or face without your specific written consent? If so, you may be entitled to significant compensation.
Biometric information, like thumbprints, fingerprints, face scans, and voice scans are now widely used by businesses for a variety of reasons–some good, some bad.
Illinois law requires that a business get your specific written consent before they can use your biometric information and prohibits businesses from profiting from your biometrics. If they don’t get your specific written consent, you may be entitled to significant compensation of $5,000 per violation.
Common types of biometric information:
- Thumbprint
- Fingerprint
- Face scan
- Eye scan
- Voice scan
If any business uses any of these types of information and you did not give them specific written consent to use it, you may be entitled to significant compensation. To find out more, fill out the form and we will contact you.
