Biometric Information Privacy Act

Coinbase is being sued by plaintiff Michael Massel for allegedly trespassing the Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) and unlawfully collecting users’ biometrics data. The suit alleges that the exchange uses this biometrics data to enhance its ‘app-based’ online platform’s usage and working.

Facebook Inc lost the first round in a court fight against some of its users who sued the social networking company, alleging it "unlawfully" collected and stored users' biometric data derived from their faces in photographs.

A lawsuit filed by three Illinois residents under the auspices of the state's Biometric Information Privacy Act can proceed.
