Description: The protection of biometric data involves measures to safeguard biometric information from unauthorized access and misuse. Biometric data refers to unique physical or behavioral characteristics of an individual, such as fingerprints, facial recognition, iris patterns, voice, and behavioral patterns. Due to their unique and unchangeable nature, this data is highly sensitive, and its exposure can lead to serious privacy violations. Protecting this data becomes essential in a world where technology is rapidly advancing and its use has become common in various applications, from security systems to user authentication methods in numerous devices and platforms. Protection measures include data encryption, secure storage, and the implementation of restricted access policies. Additionally, legislation in many countries has begun to specifically address the protection of biometric data, establishing standards that regulate its collection, storage, and use to ensure individuals’ privacy. The growing concern over privacy and security has led to increased scrutiny over how this data is handled, highlighting the importance of robust biometric data protection practices in the digital age.
