Biometric Information Privacy Act & Software Updates
Employers using biometric or facial retina fingerprint readers need to be aware of, and compliant with, the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIFA).
Customers operating in other states may wish to use the forms below as a “best practice” and mitigate future legal risk.
- Explicit consent must be obtained from all employees before enrollment. This will require a disclosure form and the employee’s signature.
- Terminated employees should be removed from the biometric fingerprint database at regular intervals. A written policy should be on file and a record retained of when and who was removed.
For customers using MITC Cloud in Illinois, MITC will take care of the destruction of terminated employee fingerprints.
