Biometric data for time and access control and monitoring – UK ICO Employment Practices and Data Protection: Monitoring Workers (2023)

UK ICO Employment Practices and Data Protection: Monitoring Workers (2023) 4.1: 4.1 Biometric access and time control: document why biometrics are necessary and why alternatives are inadequate, in the DPIA

Biometric identification carries far more sensitive information than cards and PINs and is harder to fix if inaccurate or breached, so the employer should consider alternatives, should document why it relies on biometrics and why less intrusive means are inadequate, should be able to justify not using a reasonable alternative, and must record all of this in the DPIA; extra security may be needed.
