Biometrics

📖 Full definition

Biometrics covers all identification or comparison techniques based on unique physical traits (face, fingerprints, iris, voice, DNA). Under European GDPR, biometric data are classified as "sensitive" (Art. 9) and their processing is strictly regulated: mandatory explicit consent, recommended DPIA, reinforced security measures.

💡 Concrete example

Look Like Me processes biometric data (your photos and their embeddings). This is why we ask for your explicit consent before each analysis, and keep photos for 12 months max (1h in guest mode).
