Biometric Data Discussion Group

Biometric Data Discussion Group Coming in Fall 2025

To participate, please complete Kantara’s GPA.

The Biometric Data Discussion Group (Biometrics) will address the management, security, and privacy of biometric data, from collection to destruction, with a focus on practical application and GDPR compliance. While standards do exist, they are often inaccessible to non-experts, and there is a need to decode and translate existing standards into a straightforward, practical guide for real-world application.  Biometrics will develop a set of recommendations and best practices for biometric data management to fill this need for use alongside existing standards.

More information, including a draft charter, will be made available as it is ready. 

If you are interested in participating in the Biometrics DG, please complete Kantara’s GPA.  Kantara staff will then get in touch regarding meeting dates.

More information on forming and participating in Kantara Discussion Groups can be found in the Kantara Initiative Operating Procedures, Article 5.
