Biometric information such as fingerprints, facial recognition templates, voiceprints, iris scans, and gait patterns is treated as a special category of personal data under the GDPR because it can uniquely identify individuals and may create risks including identity theft and discrimination. Processing such data for identification generally requires explicit consent that is freely given, purpose-specific, informed, unambiguous, easy to withdraw, and documented, with separate consent needed for distinct uses such as access control and marketing. Organizations are advised to embed privacy into system design, minimize collection, secure data, limit retention, maintain audit records, and regularly review compliance, while promptly stopping relevant processing when consent is withdrawn. The text also promotes Didit’s identity platform as a tool for customizable consent flows, granular tracking, automated withdrawals, encrypted storage, and audit trails, noting that GDPR violations can result in fines up to €20 million or 4% of global annual turnover.
