Biometric Impressions is paying out $10.85 million to settle allegations of breaking Illinois biometric laws. What’s the fuss? Well, they were accused of snatching people’s fingerprints without asking for permission.

Who Is Eligible For The Biometric Impression BIPA Settlement

If you got fingerprinted by them between Jan. 8, 2015, and Aug. 14, 2023, and the state of Illinois didn’t foot the bill, you might be in for a slice of the settlement.

According to the lawsuit, Biometric Impressions went ahead and did the fingerprinting without bothering with the whole disclosure and consent dance required by Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA). Basically, BIPA wants businesses to play by the rules and spill the details before diving into collecting fingerprints and facial scans.
