The Illinois Biometric Invasion of Privacy Act (BIPA), enacted in 2008, grants Illinois consumers the right to their own biometric data, such as fingerprints, retina or iris information, voiceprints, and DNA. Under the BIPA, private companies are prohibited from collecting biometric information unless (1) the person consents in writing and (2) the companies inform the person in writing of what data is being collected, for what purpose, and for how long.
