Enacted in 2008, the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (“BIPA”) regulates the collection and possession of biometric data by private entities operating in Illinois. Biometric data includes, for example, fingerprints, voiceprints, eye scans, and face/hand scans. Notably, BIPA establishes a private right of action, allowing any person to seek damages, attorneys’ fees, and injunctive relief if the person has been aggrieved by a BIPA violation.
