WHAT IS THE ILLINOIS BIOMETRIC PRIVACY ACT (BIPA)?
BIPA is a state law that regulates the collection, use, and retention of biometric information. BIPA protects your biometric identifiers such as fingerprints, handprints (or hand scans), eye, retina, or iris scans, facial geometry, and voice recognition.
WHAT ARE THE PENALTIES FOR BUSINESSES THAT VIOLATE BIPA?
Businesses that violate BIPA can be liable for damages of up to $1,000 for each and every negligent violation or $5,000 for each and every intentional violation, plus attorneys' fees and costs.
For Illustrative purposes only: Assume your employer requires you to submit your fingerprint for purposes of tracking your time at work in violation of BIPA. Your work requires you to clock in each morning, clock out for lunch, clock in from lunch and clock out in the evening. This would be four violations for a single day's work. This could mean you are eligible for between $4,000 and $20,000 per day your biometrics were used in violation of BIPA.
HOW CAN I TELL IF MY EMPLOYER IS IN VIOLATION OF BIPA?
If your employer requires you to use any biometric identifier in the workplace and your employer has not obtained your express written consent to do so and provided you with written notice of the purpose and length of time for which your biometric information will be stored it is possible your employer is in violation of BIPA. We provide a free consultation to evaluate your individual circumstances and determine if you have a claim.
Also, if you have received any notice that you might be a member of a class action involving BIPA, then you must act immediately to protect your rights, your time to act is extremely limited. BIPA class actions historically have provided employers a blanket release of liability while offering impacted employees pennies on the dollar for their claims. Many BIPA class actions have not even paid employees $1,000. That amount is what you should receive for a single violation of BIPA. This is nowhere near the value of hundreds or thousands of violations of BIPA. In our opinion, BIPA class actions are bad deals for employees and you should protect yourself by contacting our Firm.
HOW CAN AN ATTORNEY HELP ME?
An attorney can help you with your BIPA case by evaluating the strength of your claim, gathering evidence, negotiating a settlement, or representing you in court.
