Hot Topics Over Hot Breakfast: Class Actions and the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act - Minimizing Exposure
You’re invited to join Miller Canfield attorneys Jeffrey M. Drake and Robert T. Zielinski for “Hot Topics over Hot Breakfast” while they discuss the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA).
Class action lawsuits under BIPA are being filed with increasing frequency against Illinois employers and businesses. These suits claim that identifying individuals using fingerprints, facial recognition, palm prints, iris scans and voice recognition violates BIPA and often seek damages in the tens of millions of dollars.
The discussion will be tailored to those companies subject to BIPA including:
- Service and product providers who use biometric identification for purposes of controlling access or payment
- Employers who use biometric identifiers such as fingerprints for time keeping or access to premises and systems
- Those who use facial recognition software to tag or organize photos
- Any other company using biometric identifiers is a potential target
Join us for a discussion of the requirements of BIPA and the practical steps you can take now to reduce the risk of becoming a target of one of these lawsuits.
