Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA, 740 ILCS 14)

Illinois's Biometric Information Privacy Act (740 ILCS 14, 2008) governs the collection and use of biometric identifiers (retina/iris scans, fingerprints, voiceprints, and scans of hand or face geometry) by private entities, requiring notice and written consent. It is the most-litigated US biometric statute because of its PRIVATE RIGHT OF ACTION (Sec. 20). Robot-operation nexus: humanoid robots with cameras and perception systems that capture face geometry or voiceprints in workplaces or public spaces fall within its scope. (Scoped formFactors=['humanoid'] for current registry state; biometric capture is the humanoid-perception nexus.)
