The Potomac Institute seeks to address improvements to biometric data policy that include privacy and security protections, while simultaneously allowing for research and innovation. This report provides findings on current biometric data practices and vulnerabilities, reviews current domestic policy, identifies shortcomings, and provides our recommendation for a policy approach to biometric data privacy. Ultimately, we suggest that to uphold American citizens’ right to privacy and promote national security, comprehensive federal legislation must be passed that regulates the collection, use, distribution, and security of biometric data.
