Biometric Impressions agreed to a $10.85 million settlement to resolve a class action lawsuit claiming it violated Illinois biometric laws by collecting consumer fingerprints without consent.

According to the class action lawsuit, Biometric Impressions collected individuals’ fingerprints without first providing the proper disclosures and obtaining written consent as required by Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA). BIPA requires businesses to meet strict privacy, consent and disclosure requirements before collecting biometrics such as fingerprints and facial geometry scans.

Biometric Impressions is an inkless live-scan fingerprinting company that operates in Illinois, Iowa and Florida.

The company hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but reached a $10.85 million settlement to resolve the BIPA class action lawsuit.
